There's "Blue Danube".

Well, it doesn't say "blues" exactly in the title, but "blue" is 80 percent 
of "blues", so you would think the song would be at least 80 percent blues, 
but it isn't.

It is zero percent blues. No guitars or harmonicas. No pentatonic scales or 
flatted thirds. No microtones. And the people who were playing it weren't 
wearing sunglasses or fedoras.

Very misleading. This guy Strauss should get a fine or something.
