| If you've never heard Spike Jones' band, you should start with this recording. My family has had it in one form or another for thirty years. Genius. |

| My Dad shared this one with me and now I am enjoying sharing it with my son. A wonderfully esoteric piece of music history. |

You always hurt (*CRACK-BOOM* EGAH!) the one you love

| Who else could gargle his way through the William Tell Overture, I ask you, than Spike Jones? This CD was first my grandmother's, then my mother's and now it's mine, and let me tell you, I am very proud to be in this hereditary line of musical insanity (strange as its existance is)! This is amazing stuff-HILARIOUS, innovative, imaginative (to say the least!), and gloriously over-the-top. I promise you, dear readers, my child will be humming Dance of the Hours before they know how to read, car-horns and all! |

Humorous big band music from the 40's
Submitted on: 2005-04-17 |

| Another reviewer says Spike Jones was like the Robin Williams of the 1940's. Good analogy. We would add, like Weird Al Yankovic too. Like Weird Al is, this was a really TALENTED band of their era that could play anything with great skill, and goofy humor. This is the best best-of for a good price. [And, if you REALLY love these samples, then opt for the 4-disk "Strictly For Music Lover's" collection instead. It has all these hits, plus many more gems.] |
