Hi, Zany, Spike recorded a box set of six Charlestons on 45s. And his versions of the classical tunes "Liebestraum," "Rhapsody from Hunger(y)," and "Morpheus" were mostly instrumental, with brief spoken bridges. If it was a 78, it might have been "Holiday for Strings." Another instrumental Spike recorded (on 78) was Hotcha Cornia (the old Russian song "Dark Eyes"),

does anyone know of a 45 RPM record that came out in the late 1960's of Spike Jones instrumental music ? I don't know the name of the song but it was hilariously funny with just instruments playing. No vocals were used at all.

No, Claire Brandt looks completely different. She isn´t Kay Cee Jones. Can´t it be that Kathleen Dana Jones (daughter of Bernie Jones) was the alias of Kay Cee Jones?
No idea?

Thank you, Ted!

ted.hering on Thursday 01 July 2010 - 05:24:56

Hi, Doowopdaddy, wasn't Kay Cee married to songwriter Eddie Brandt? (Definitely not Spike of Freddy.)

ted.hering on Thursday 01 July 2010 - 05:21:02

Hi, Dic2phone, "Mama Look at Boo Boo" was a hit for Harry Belefante.

Doowopdaddy on Wednesday 23 June 2010 - 15:43:03

Hello.
Does anybody knows the relationship between singer KAY CEE JONES and her songwriters Freddy Morgan and Eddie Brandt and Bernie or Spike Jones? Is/was she a relative with hits like "Japanese farewell Song"?

dic2phone on Monday 21 June 2010 - 01:21:19

Hello all
I am trying to locate
the song by spike jones called Washington Square. Does anyone know what album this may be on, or any info on it ? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, Lantenot, Probably "In a Persian Market." Spike performed this more than once. Or you could have seen "Farandole." Could you provide a link to the YouTube spot you saw?

lantenot on Sunday 17 January 2010 - 20:38:36

Hi, My son in law showed me a SJ video on Youtube(?) where they played a classical melody and it include a long spot with his two banjo players, hilarously funny, but can anyone help with the name of the tune and where it can be wieved?
Thank you in advance
Lantenot

Hi, Bek, the correct title is "Happy New Year." (It was the original flip side of "Two Front Teeth.")

Bek on Sunday 20 December 2009 - 07:25:16

Hi, Cheryl, I'm uploading Spike Jones' version of "The Old Sow Song" for you. (The song was a big hit in the 1930s by Rudy Vallee and his Conneticut Yankees.)

CherylM1 on Friday 03 July 2009 - 12:46:42

Does anyone have Suzzanah's a funnical Man or the old sows song?

ted.hering on Tuesday 30 June 2009 - 02:33:18

Hi, Sabu, "Tim-Tay-Shun" is by Red Ingle (former member of Spike's City Slickers).

Sabu on Wednesday 24 June 2009 - 03:19:14

How do I get Spike Jones "Temptation" downloaded or purchased somewhere?

ted.hering on Tuesday 09 June 2009 - 03:58:35

Hi, Pronto, that's "Maggie" by STAN FREBERG. It's the flip side of "Tele-Vee-Shun," and has never been reissued.

Pronto on Monday 08 June 2009 - 16:21:16

Hi, I am looking for a copy of "I wandered the hills today Maggie" where Spike has a fit of the hiccups can anybody help please?

Peter Bridges on Thursday 21 May 2009 - 20:14:16

Hi fans, I looking for the song where there is supposedly a drunk in the audience who repeatedly shouts out "I want to hear Temptation" - Spike replies "Will somebody get that bum out of here". I would be very grateful if anyone has any ideas.

Many Thanks,
Peter.

Hi, Grayline, the "Tough To Be A Girl Musician" sketch was featured on the January 12, 1952 broadcast of "All Star Revue" on NBC. I understand the routine was also part of Spike's stage show at the time.

ted.hering on Friday 17 April 2009 - 04:10:37

Hey, Lupus Luna, your Grandfather Lynn was featured on two Spike Jones LPs: Omnibust, and "This Is Stereo." I met Lynn at a Spike Jones "tribute" in the mid-1970s. A very pleasant man!

Eddie Brandt is still living in North Hollywood, and can occationally be found at his Saturday Matinee store.

grayling on Tuesday 14 April 2009 - 20:15:45

Can anybody tell me the number (or the concert) where Spike and his musicians were in drag? It is shown on "The Legend". Thanks

LupusLuna on Sunday 12 April 2009 - 01:03:10
