  3. As this country sails closer and closer toward third world dictatorship status, I’m here on deck remembering dad; this is one of those Spike Jones bits I remember him laughing so hard when I was a kid and this was like 30 years after he first heard it on the radio after it was first released in the 1940s.

    Écouter #SpikeJones et ses City Slickers évoque irrémédiablement les folies des Marx Brothers, les délires de Tex Avery, Frank Zappa et les planches les plus débridées de Gotlib. Né en 1911, batteur et percussionniste de studio à l’origine, Spike Jones accompagne les chanteurs Al Jolson, Bing Crosby… et rassemble des collègues pour parodier ce qu’il fait professionnellement. Un de ses premiers succès, paru sur un V-Disc à l’intention des troupes américaines envoyées en Europe, est Der Fuehrer’s Face, où il ridiculise Adolf #Hitler à sa façon, ponctuant chaque "Heil" d’un bruitage inconvenant.

    Thank you, music lovers : Spike Jones, le burlesque en musique

  8. After seeing Elon Musk cartoonishly give the ol' seig heil twice, I couldn't get this dopey old song out of my head, so you have him to blame for my digging up the 1942 Oscar-winning tune #DerFuehersFace from the #SpikeJones catalogue. Pray I have no cause to dig further!

  12. There's no such thing as punching too many Nazis, and #SpikeJones played daily is good for your mental health. Once again, #NowPlaying "In Der Fuehrer's Face" but by all means substitute der orange fuehrer's face when Carl Grayson raises that single finger salute.

  14. Alright alright--I had to turn that priceless Carl Grayson single finger salute (and the one just behind him) via Spike Jones' "Der Fuehrer's Face" into a meme. KEEP IN MIND that the U.S. had a Censorship Board at the time, which might explain the palm-forward attitude of the salute.

    Also in this episode: a 1952 #SpikeJones 🥁 polka parody that sounds like they stole #WeirdAlYankovic’s style before Al was born 🪗

    And Nick from #TheDreadnoughts who’s trenchant essay “Polka Might Actually Die” raised hackles and inspired a million bands to join the great #polka rising of the 2030s

  18. The bells at 7:00 are insane. We, as a culture, cannot forget this #music existed.

    Ignore the suits, if you can, and try to watch the hands. Tightest band in existence.

  20. CW: Spike Jones And His City Slickers - "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer"

    You are a travelling big band. You play the same standards every night. You get bored and uninspired, so you mix things up a bit.

    The William Tell Overture on kitchen implements! A song called "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth"!

    This "Rudolph" was a top ten Billboard hit from 1950, just one year after Gene Autry's syrupy original.
