I don't know if there is an appropriate forum for "name that tune" type requests.

I was mucking around on the keyboard and remembered some old tunu I learnt 20 years ago and had forgotten. Anyone know what this is? Here is a random attempt to work out the sheet music for it:

Thanks ;-)

The "Flea Waltz," possibly?

Not sure of the correct name, but I know it as the 'knuckle tune' a piece popular with young children, played with the knuckles (clenched fist in a rolling motion) on the black keys.
It would be interesting to know the correct title and history of this novelty piece.

"knuckle tune" - that's great.

It seems to me that once upon a time in a thread long ago I did see a name for this. But I don't remember it.

So I'm not much use, but if we get lucky the original person will see this again and re-post.

I think you did a fine job with the notation.
