Just seeing its title, the 'Schwips-Lied' ('Tipsy Song') may not be immediately familiar. But hearing just one bar of it, it's the 'Annen-Polka' with a vocal part in which a proper Victorian-era lady finds herself slightly drunk. The 'Schwips-Lied' is one of those famous inserts ('einlage') often used in Johann Strauss' operetta Eine Nacht in Venedig.
