Spike Jones
Omnibust / 60 Years Of Music America Hates Best

Description

Spike Jones and his City Slickers were the undisputed kings of musical comedy, turning popular songs into glorious, percussion-filled demolition derbies of whistles, cowbells, and sound effects. This CD compiles material spanning his long career under the tongue-in-cheek title 60 Years Of Music America Hates Best — a fitting tribute to a man who made a virtue of controlled chaos. Highlights include the nonsense-lyric classic Mairzy Doats, the singalong romp Three Little Fishes, and the novelty gem Hut Sut Song, all delivered with Jones’s signature anarchic precision. An essential disc for fans of comedy music, classic American novelty recordings, and anyone who loves their entertainment served with a side of mayhem…
