The tune was a standard for early jazz groups, but over the years it lost its words & became purely instrumental.  For myself the title was incredibly seductive, and sometime around 1960 I proposed to do an anthology of European Dada writings & to use That Dada Strain as a title.  Nothing came of that until the Dada section in Poems for the Millennium, but I did use it in the 1980s for a book of my own work and for a German radio h\u00f6rspiel (soundplay) and a staged version by a Living Theater offshoot in the late 1980s.  The URL for the Waters version is http:\/\/www.ubu.com\/ethno\/soundings\/waters.html, or go directly to http:\/\/www.ubu.com\/ethno\/ for the full lineup.  Now that I\u2019ve finally tracked it down, words & all, I take it to be a significant if coincidental part of the history of Dada.<\/p>\n<p>Also a second new audio addition to the site consists of two versions of a \u201ctoast,\u201d The Signifying Monkey, from African-American oral tradition.
