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"?
Hello, my name is none of you business. I am new to this site and also to spike jones. I first heard of spike about three years ago. I have been a casual listen, but now I have started to become more interested in hearing more of his music and learning more about the man. Does anyone have any tips?
You're at the right place! There's lots of information and even music here. If you want to see some Spike Jones in action, look for the 4-DVD box coming out at the end of October, with his very earliest TV appearances. Some samples can be found on-line at YouTube.com. If you want to collect all of Spike's records (or reissues of them), Scott Corbett's discography is very complete. I think it's out of print, but sometimes copies show up on eBay or Amazon. In collecting, know that Spike made some non-comedy albums at the end of his career, under the name "The New Band of Spike Jones." For an all-round introduction to Spike's funniest, the Dr. Demento 2-CD "Music Depreciation Revue Anthology" on Rhino Records can't be beat.
