I love me some "standards."

"Only we in jazz and our allies in cabaret refer to them as "standards" anymore -- songs at once timeless and emblematic of their own day, most of them written for Broadway or Hollywood during the 1920s, '30s, '40s and early '50s by Kern, Berlin, Porter, the Gershwins, and the like." ~Francis Davis
