💻 I first heard Spike Jones’s music on The Doctor Demento Show in the early 1980s. He was an early song parodist who also created some original funny songs. Somewhere around here I have a 78 RPM record of “The Jones Laughing Record,” which begins with a few bars of “The Flight of the Bumblebee,” followed by an inadvertent sneeze, followed by two and a half minutes of the band laughing. Anyway, J. P. Cavanaugh tells Spike’s story. Read Spike Jones – Myrthful Murderer of Music
