Fellow listmates,

While doing some research on the tune "Everything He Does Just Pleases 
Me" which appears in the Anderson collection (page. 4454), I happened to 
find another song with the same title 
<http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/metsnav/inharmony/navigate.do?oid=http://fedora.dlib.indiana.edu/fedora/get/iudl:48604/METADATA&pn=1&size=screen> 
at the Indiana University digital archives.

The one from Anderson was written in 1916 by Artie Matthews (author of 
Weary Blues).
The one from Indiana University was copyrighted in 1914 by Russell Smith.

Matthews' chorus stars out: "Ev-'ry-thing He Does Just Pleas-es Me. He's 
my an-gel child. Suits me to a "T"."
Smith's chorus starts out: "Ev-'ry-thing He Does Just Pleas-es Me. He 
cert-'nly suits my taste just to a "T".
