[johnnyreb455]

Weird Al aint got shit on Spike Jones

[corwinorr]

If you wanna dine

On a hunk of swine

All you gotta do is get in line!

[Celticenchantment]

yeah I was born in 1988 and my dad had some music/songs of Spike Jones!! When I was little I thought that this was what the Hawaiians actually spoke and I thought it was hilarious and I still do think that this is funny!!

[themysteriouscrumpet]

Ulul!

[24Houston7]

Beat boxers of their time

[TrekToons]

Only Spike Jones can turn a Hawaiian song into a Dixieland romp. LOL!

Wierd Al Yankovich obviously took a great many lessons from this fine gentleman/musician.

H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!!

[TheRealZen00]

I wish I was an animator with some spare time, these songs are just made for short skits!

[themysteriouscrumpet]

@TheRealZen00 There is such a thing on youtube that uses this song to great effect. Just look for a cartoon called " Momma don't like".

December 14, 1911: birth of Spike Jones, American comedian and musician (d. 1965)

[jmaxcamp]

thank you jonax, you rock!

[dclsteve]

My dad had this on a 78. I cried my eyes out when I dropped it and, like all 78's, it shattered into pieces. Took many years before I head it again....

[iszalgocomin]

How does he make that sound?! I WANNA LEARN!!!!

[ryu8888]

HEYYYY!!! Timon & Pumba used this tune in The Lion King!!

Heeee's a BIG pig! (yup yup yup)

And you can be a big pig too!

Whoo!

[petitequinte]

Someone should really put this with a montage of über-tacky vintage Hawaiian-themed stuff from the same era, since that's what this song is poking fun at... lol

[kickar]

Remember when I was a kid and my dad had a Spike Jones LP, we could laugh alongside each other only by watching the cover haha! just look at him! he was one cool character! hahaha cant breathe

[Grouncontrol]

@kickar: Right on!! My old man had this album and I remember being a kid and listening to this with him! GREAT MEMORIES!!!

[kickar]

@Grouncontrol It's needed in every generation! Even pretty new ones like min (born 1991, pops is born 1954)

[bobgreenwade]

Great to hear this online.

Does anyone know the (real) name of the person doing the first verse? I think he was credited as Horatio Q. Birdbath, but of course that was an alias. (One source said Mel Blanc, but I'm not so sure.)

[Krygeryo]

I'm 23, born in 87. My dad made me listen to this, along with Frank Zappa when I was still attempting to walk, and I thank him. New age music sucks for the most part :(

[paddyosee]

by Spike Jones & His Wacky Wakikians...humor in music is sorely missing these days.

[ryu8888]

@paddyosee What, slapping bitches with dicks and pimp hands not funny enough for you? *sarcasm*

[ZUXAZZ]

[lordbacon82]

[Patriot3791]

My grandfather did a skit with this song back in the 50s. I can't imagine my Pa in a hula skirt doing this!

[narozzz]

Whoa - @2:34, the guitar player invents noise-rock!

[CatsLairArchives]

The other version of this song is funnier....

[keywestredbeard]

Love Spike Jones! just makes you laugh your butt off!!

[sidDkid87]

spelled backwards; ULUL! --- Classic!!!

[Kailoa36]

They just don't make silly like they used to.

I grew up in the 1950's when they were still around and had a TV show.

Thanks for the memories.

[Panthera0nca]

...ever heard of Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer?

[whooperpooper86]

i wish i was teen during these years :/

[Krygeryo]

@Kailoa36 I was born in 1987, but I still love Spike Jones. Thanks to my dad.

[Kailoa36]

@Krygeryo Lucky you! Thanks for your comment.

[Milomia9]

@Kailoa36 I was born in 1997, and I just dont get Spongebob and all that crap. What makes me laugh is the 3 stooges and Little Rascals. My style of music is classical, The Monkees, Simon and Garfunkel. They call me a nerd, but Ive learned to take that as a compliment.
