What instrumental track has been around the block, originally recorded by Johnny Smith in 1954, then two years later by Chet Atkins, and most notably by The Ventures in 1960?

The song "Walk, Don't Run" by the Ventures peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1960. As the story goes, before realizing the song would become a hit, the drummer on the track was given the choice of taking $25 or 25% of the proceeds from the sales. He took the $25.
