Interesting. IMBD calls it “a Vision of Salome”
A version on youtube
[/QUOTE] That's it!Thanks to all.
Damn! When I first read the OP’s question, I immediately thought of “Miserlou,” and couldn’t get it out of my mind. Now that I’ve watched this cartoon, I can’t stop hearing “A Vision of Salome”! :mad:

Here is a clip of them performing. The OP’s song is at 2:45

I’m not yet convinced that “a Vision of Salome” is the correct title. Only that one video calls it by that name.
Other searches of this title play the song called “Vision of Salome”, a 1909 song by English light music composer Archibald Joyce. This song appears to be well enough known that there are several versions of it on Youtube, and it also features on the extended soundtrack to the movie* Titanic*. It’s clearly not the same music as the cod-Egyptian piece that Wilson, Keppel & Betty use in the video linked to. Maybe they are different songs sharing the same title, like the various different “Power of Love” songs of the 1980s.
Delving a bit deeper, the IMDB lists the composer of “A Vision of Salome” as a Mr “J. Bodewalt Lampe”, who has a wiki page, which describes him as “a Danish-born American composer, arranger, performer and band-leader of ragtime and syncopated dance music”.
Googling a bit further finds this link to “A Vision of Salome” by “J. Bodewalt Lampe”, which may be the cover to the sheet music. Its copyright date is shown as 1908, a year before the date of Archibald Joyce’s “Vision of Salome”.
So I guess I was right with the “Power of Love” hunch…
