Best Spike Jones songs?

Cafe Society
1

I am looking for a clip or whole song by Spike Jones that epitomizes his crazy style for which he’s remebered. Any SDopers have a favorite they recall?

2

William Tell Overture Spike Jones William Tell Overture - YouTube definitely highlights the crazy.
My personal favorite is probably My Old Flame Spike Jones My Old Flame - YouTube

3

I second this nomination.

Also, You Always Hurt The One You Love.

4

I Went to Your Wedding
Baby Buggie Boogie

5

I was also going to mention “My Old Flame” and “The William Tell Overture”. “The Man on the Flying Trapeze” is pretty good, too.

6

Hawaiian War Chant.

7

Cocktails For Two is another one. Lot’s of crazy stuff in that one.

8

Spike Jones’ version of ‘Ghost Riders in the Sky’ is the ne plus ultra interpretation, IMHO

I have never, ever, even in the worst mood of my life, listened to Spike Jones’s “Holiday for Strings” without laughing.

“Der Fuhrer’s Face” also amuses me at times.

Behind the scenes of “Glow Worm”.

12

I absolutely love “Pal-Yat-Chee.”

13

Definitely.

I’m very fond of None but the Lonely Heart and also Laura because my mother had a 78 of that, and it was my introduction to Spike.

I like the other ones mentioned also - I have way too many Spike CDs.
