This was published in 1972. The composer's name is George Schneider. He calls it "The Furry Lisa Rag". This performance has a rather bad mis-read. The tremolo bass notes in the third strain were not played (written as a single note with bars through the stem to indicate repeated notes -- the pianist here simply holds the note for the full value instead of repeating it throughout the written value). You can hear another version of this played by Sue Keller on YouTube. Search for "The Furry Lisa".

"Für" means "for". Do you say "Die Walküre" or "The Valkyrie" when speaking of Wagner's famous opera? Both are acceptable. One is German; one is English.

Doesn't matter here, anyway, since the correct title of this parody is "The Furry Lisa Rag", composed by George Schneider.
