Spike Jones

Lindley Armstrong "Spike" Jones (December 14, 1911 – May 1, 1965) was an American musician and bandleader specializing in performing satirical arrangements of popular songs. Ballads and classical works receiving the Jones treatment would be punctuated with gunshots, whistles, cowbells, and outlandish vocals. Through the 1940s and early 1950s, the band recorded under the title Spike Jones and his City Slickers and toured the United States and Canada under the title The Musical Depreciation Revue. more »

Mister Tchaikovsky, this dance is tough-sky
Where'd you ever find the tune to get me down so low?

D'ja ever see a tin flute dancing? (Hm?)
D'ja ever know a piccolo could dance a jig?
Here's the tune they dance to when they get a chance to
It's a kind of a rinky-dinky, ending with a whirliigig

When they play the music hot they dance a hot gavotte
As like as not

When a penny flute goes dancing he'll never ask a lady piccolo of course
He never goes for small things, what he likes, of all things, is a horse!

Don't you think they're both entrancing
What could be as graceful as a hunk o' tin
Specially in the chorus, dancing with a h-o-r-u-s
That's a pretty picture or my name is Gunga Din

Let us leave them gently, maybe instrument'ly

I say Holmes - wot was that?

Chang-fong-chee-hop-so-wing-so-lee.....

Go light yo' fiah-clacker, bang-up Chlissmus
