12th St Rag

Template:Infobox OM "12th St Rag" was composed by Sage Guyton and Jeremy Wakefield. Alongside "12th St Rag Slo," it is a ukulele and steel guitar arrangement of "Twelfth Street Rag," which was originally composed by Euday L. Bowman in 1914. It usually plays when something silly happens.

There is a shortened version of this track with additional bass by Nicolas Carr named "12th Street Rag w_Bass." Starting with "Slide Whistle Stooges," it has mostly replaced the original version without bass in newer episodes.

"12th St Rag (fast w•washboard)" is an alternate take with minimal difference. "12th St Rag (fast w•out washboard)" is an unused version without the washboard in the background.

There is also an alternate version of the same name with the fixed intro that uses the middle part of the track.

Alternate titles: "12st Rag w/ Bass," "12th Rag," "12th St Rag w/ Bass," "12th St. Rag w/ Bass," "12th st. Rag," "12th St. Rag," "12th Street Rag," "12th Street Rag Revisited," "12th Street Rag w/ Bass," "12th. St Rag," "12th. St. Rag," "12th.st. Rag," "12th.St. Rag," "12th.St.Rag"
