Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor for solo piano, commonly known as "Für Elise" (For Elise), is one of Ludwig van Beethoven's most popular compositions. It was not published during his lifetime, only being discovered (by Ludwig Nohl) 40 years after his death, and may be termed either a Bagatelle or an Albumblatt. The identity of "Elise" is unknown; researchers have suggested Therese Malfatti, Elisabeth Röckel, or Elise Barensfeld.

Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh baby, it's a big old goofy world

His name has been recorded as "Squball", "Sku-ball", or "Stewball". He won many races in England and was sent to Ireland. The Irish turf calendar states that he won six races worth £508 in 1752, when he was eleven years old, and was the top-earning runner of that year in Ireland.

Tyson has noted that he composed the song in about 20 minutes in his then manager Albert Grossman's New York apartment in 1961.
