Wikipedia article
'"Tempus Fugue-it"' (also known as '"Tempus Fugit"') is a 1949 jazz composition by jazz pianist Bud Powell (19241966). It has been recorded by Powell, Miles Davis and many others.
The song is not actually a fugue in compositional form; its title is a pun on the Latin phrase 'tempus fugit', meaning "time flies". The name is also a reflection of the speed at which the piece is played.
