From Wikipedia:
“Tiger Rag” is a jazz standard that was recorded and copyrighted by the Original Dixieland Jass Band in 1917. It is one of the most recorded jazz compositions. In 2003, the 1918 recording of “Tiger Rag” was entered into the U.S. Library of Congress National Recording Registry.
Background
The song was first recorded on August 17, 1917, by the Original Dixieland Jass Band for Aeolian-Vocalion Records (the band did not use the “Jazz” spelling in its name until 1917). The Aeolian-Vocalion sides did not sell well because they were recorded in a vertical-cut format which could not be played successfully on most contemporary phonographs.
But the second recording on March 25, 1918, for Victor, made by the more common lateral-cut recording method, was a hit and established the song as a jazz standard. The song was copyrighted, published, and credited to band members Eddie Edwards, Nick LaRocca, Henry Ragas, Tony Sbarbaro, and Larry Shields in 1917. […]
On January 24, 1969, during the Beatles’ “Get Back” sessions, Paul McCartney played a couple of lines of “Tiger Rag.“
