This is not "Percolator". But what is it ?

On the label of the record is written "Percolator", but it's a different instrumental.
From 0:17 it is a very familiar melody I think. Do you know its name ?
Can you help to identify it ?
Thank you.


 "Percolator" (for comparison) is here:

It sounds to me like a jazzier version of the Chicken Dance.

Glad you posted that because that’s the song that came to mind for me too.

I figured it out !
There were two American recordings named "Percolator" in that time:
1. composed by Lou Bideu and Ernie Freeman (played by The Ventures for example)
2. composed by Jack Monroe and sung by Randy (Boots) Randolph in 1958.
And that's the one that Ferdinand Havlík took over on the Czechoslovak EP Supraphon
