Happy Birthday, Spike! “As the sun pulls away from the shore, and our boat sinks slowly in the West, we approach the island of Lulu - spelled backwards: Ul-Ul. Ahh. In the distance we hear - Spike Jones and his Wacky Waikikians!” Could you insert “You always hurt the one you love” in that playlist, OlentZ ? ---
