How some people must have hated him.
Once a song has been performed by Spike Jones, you can never listen to a "normal" version without thinking about his.

OMG! I remember this! What a sacrilege! Gene Tierney probably laughed her socks off.

Great sound quality !

Who is the solo singer? Very smooth. Surprising he never made it big like Como, Crosby, etc.
-
Thank you! Not just for that, but for posting up all this wonderful music. :D

True- Spike's boys could play "straight" when they wanted to (most of his personnel had previously played in commercial and studio bands, like Jones). But, as 'MNC' pointed out, very few people were interested in listening to his "straight" band [because it sounded TOO "straight"], and the "Other Orchestra" didn't last long.

@fromthesidelines Furthermore, the "Other Orchestra" was just the City Slickers performing under a different name.

Who made the Sneezes & the Goofy sounding voices?

The same can be said for Weird Al Yankovic.

I've never been able to find a complete version... hearing it on the old record really brings back memories.

Musical genius. Comic genius. Have you heard his band's version of Jingle Bells, where they wind up singing in Pig Latin?

I've heard a load of his stuff and have quite a bit on LP, CD and DVD, but I don't recall hearing that. I'll keep a look out for it.
