Jacob Gade was a Danish violinist who at one time was a member of the New York Symphony Orchestra. After returning to Copenhagen, he wrote, among other light compositions, a "Gypsy tango" called "Jalousie," which he published himself. Imported in 1931, the melody was outfitted with words by the daughter of New York Congressman Sol Bloom. Arthur Fiedler's recording with the Boston "Pops" Orchestra became the first "light classic" to reach a sale of one million records.

Jealousy,
Night and day you torture me!
I sometimes wonder,
If this spell that I'm under
Can be only a melody,
For I know no one but me
Has won your heart
but, When the music starts,
My peace departs
from the moment they play that langourous strain,
And we surrender to all its charms one again.
This jealousy
That tortures me
Is ecstasy, Mystery, pain!
