The humour is the most vital part of this looney rag. It puts the listener into the scene of a chase where they have gotten into trouble with some shopkeeper or the local authorities. The whole essence of this rag is getting caught in the act while engaging in some sort of undisclosed mischief, focusing mainly on the hilarity that comes with it. But there can be many other equally creative interpretations. The immaturity and sheer, stubborn unpredictability of this piece are what make listening to it very enjoyable. If Joplin was to dedicate this piece to anyone, it would no doubt be James Scott; his accomplice who identified the most with this musical style.
@@itsRemco You have an F in the bass where it's supposed to be a G in measure 18, as written in the sheet music published in 1900. It's also a G in the recording to which I believe you're referring.

0:27 and 0:49, I think I have spotted a mistake in the left hand.
