 A bouncing head full of musical fun

Unlike my 3 wolves moon shirt review, this one is for real.
Combining incredible musical skill and silliness, Spike Jones was a precursor to Weird Al. In fact, some of the songs on this fun CD are claimed to be censored versions of what really went on. Er.. at least one is. This CD is great for Christmas (with or without two front teeth or Rudolph with a cold), a young kids birthday, or anyone reminiscing about yesteryear's music. |

| Another madcap collection - old favourites plus some I'd never heard before - so just proves you're never too old ! The lyrics are the highlights, with some very modern new age 'music' sounds, yeh I listen to classical as well, and this is better than the cacaphonic new compositions from that genre, at least I can sing along and get happy ! |

| The disk was all I expected. As might be expected, the reording and my memory were different. The difference was good, however. |

| I was so happy to find this. The family spent some great times together listening to the 78's. My Dad was a HUGE fan! I wish he were still around to listen to the CD quality. Mom and I had a great time reminiscing. I do have (1) very minor disappointment... I was used to and liked better a different version of "Hawaiian War Chant" it was my favorite as a kid. This one is much "quieter" |

| A lot of thanks to Ted Hering, who pointed out a lot of amazing, interesting details (such as the Hawaiian War Chant being the early version, but with a better sound than the Harlequin version,which I own too),especially because those details DO NOT FIGURE on the CD itself! Which means that, looking at/in/around the booklet, one might say: "Oh, I already have those!" Really brillant sound quality, as close to the original studio sound as possible. Great selection, great engineering! And indeed, as I stated some time ago reviewing another Spike Jones CD: if only we could find a "Carmen" in THIS sound quality. Where? When? |
