ted.hering 04 Sep : 21:29 Hi, numan, Here's a like that provides a good list of Spike's CDs: [link].
I can't spot either of the songs you want. Funny the 1940s stuff has been issued over and over, but there are a lot of gaps in Spike's 1950s records.
numan428 23 Aug : 19:30 does anyone know which cd's (available in the uk) have spike jones's songs "molasses molasses" and "mommy wont you buy a baby brother" on please ?
chuber 13 Aug : 22:59 have you hear Spikes 'Hocha Cornea' on the cadbury fish ad? its AMAZING!
ted.hering 12 Aug : 06:22 Hi, Zany, Spike recorded a box set of six Charlestons on 45s. And his versions of the classical tunes "Liebestraum," "Rhapsody from Hunger(y)," and "Morpheus" were mostly instrumental, with brief spoken bridges. If it was a 78, it might have been "Holiday for Strings." Another instrumental Spike recorded (on 78) was Hotcha Cornia (the old Russian song "Dark Eyes"),
zany 02 Aug : 06:18 does anyone know of a 45 RPM record that came out in the late 1960's of Spike Jones instrumental music ? I don't know the name of the song but it was hilariously funny with just instruments playing. No vocals were used at all.
Doowopdaddy 14 Jul : 17:33 No, Claire Brandt looks completely different. She isn´t Kay Cee Jones. Can´t it be that Kathleen Dana Jones (daughter of Bernie Jones) was the alias of Kay Cee Jones? No idea?
ted.hering 01 Jul : 05:24 Hi, Doowopdaddy, wasn't Kay Cee married to songwriter Eddie Brandt? (Definitely not Spike of Freddy.)
ted.hering 01 Jul : 05:21 Hi, Dic2phone, "Mama Look at Boo Boo" was a hit for Harry Belefante.
Doowopdaddy 23 Jun : 15:43 Hello. Does anybody knows the relationship between singer KAY CEE JONES and her songwriters Freddy Morgan and Eddie Brandt and Bernie or Spike Jones? Is/was she a relative with hits like "Japanese farewell Song"?
<center><font size=+2><b>Riot Squad</b> sleeve contents</font><br /><br><i><font size=-2>by John Wood</font></i></center><br /><br /><p>Rediscovered session performances, previously available only to collectors of musical mayhem, now astound a new generation of connoisseurs as the City Slicker Hits the Fan with twenty-two of his Sunday-Punch Transcriptions for Standard. Be warned to stand just within the shouting range of your loudspeakers as that improbable Spike Jones Organisation lets fly in the style that made the name. You'll hear Rudolph Valentino in his first speaking role impersonating Carl Grayson as <i>The Sheik of Araby</i>, mythical Hiccuphone incomparably played by mythical Willie Spicer, who bows outfor good in a heartfelt tribute to erstwhile dictator Adolf Hitler (executed<i>sans</i> Bronx Cheer but<br />mit eine Hoboken Fonk).<br /> <br>The Band That Plays For Fun benevolently advises World War Two <i>kamikaze</i> pilots that <i>You're a Sap, Mr. Jap</i>, and goes ape with his own special brand of voodoo <i>Down in Jungle Town</i>...<br /> <br>Four danceable ditties provide a pleasant interlude and spotlight the boys on their best behavior... The percussive sinuses of pianna-player Frank Leithner supply plenty of flak for the Dixieland Jazz Battle of <i>WaterLou</i> while <i>Never Hit Your Grandma With a Shovel</i> offers another action-packed chapter... The Slickers operate the Pop Corn concession for a re-creation of Coney Island in the 1920's, as Franz Liszt's blistered classic <i>Liebestraum</i> once again gets busted-nose treatment at thetempo that kills... For an encore, you'll hear Jimmy Stewart soundalike s-s-s-signing off the proceedings with St-St-St-Stella. 1943 And All That plus considerably more, in this jumbo-sized package of stark starring musical merchandise.<br /><br> <div align=right>John Wood</div><br /><br /><center> <hr WIDTH="100%"><br /><br><b><font size=-2>Disclaimer</font></b><br /><br><b><font size=-2>As far as I know I don't harm anyone with this publication in any way.
