Ravel (a French composer) was commissioned to compose for a ballet called Fandango. It was Ravel's idea (after watching the first scene the way it was performed and disapproving of it), to have the woman (Ida Rubinstein) perform the scene in front of a factory where the workers would appear and dance together while a bullfighter is killed by a jealous rival. This song is supposed to be the world's most frequently played piece of music.
