Spike Jones featuring Mickey Katz (1947)

Back


This clip gives us a rare and wonderful look at Spike Jones hilarity, with the added delight of seeing Mickey Katz (the short, bald guy playing clarinet) goofing around with the band and even doing his trademark "glugg-glugg". Mickey went on from there to write his Yiddish parodies and the rest is history,

I almost didn't recognise 'Dr McCoy' he had a bit more meat on his bones then ... hee hee :)

This song made me laugh out loud, and 'Katherine' must have been fantastic not to laugh or crack up whist filming this sketch ..:)

my apologies, in an earlier comment, i was responding to someone called heoko.

please don't be rude when commenting on music that may not be your style. like mamma said, if you do not have anything nice to say, keep it to yourself.

Someone once on a radio show about Spike Jones remembered that in his stage show for a while he would have a girl come out and sit on one side of the stage and knit all through the craziness. People would wonder what she was doing there and what she was ever going to do, and all she did was knit. I think I saw her once in a Spike video knitting, but haven't seen her on Tube yet.

Spike Jones is pure brilliance.
Cheers.

Your answer is really light.
What wouldn't we read if someone had written "Fucking black people"!
But hush, I'm already subversive and politically incorrect.
