This is something you don't see every day! A sophisticated ragtime piece on a not-so-sophisticated subject,  a literal case of "ants in the pants." As the hapless victim performs his ant induced syncopated gyrations, the music quickens and we hear the victim slapping and scratching in an effort to rid himself of the tickly creatures. Brass players will especially enjoy flutter-tonguing, glisses, and "wa-was" in this wildly entertaining tune.
