Music reviews of Spiked!: The Music of Spike Jones
Music Review: "Spiked": A Spectacular Symphony of Spoofs and Silliness
Rating: 5 Stars
Before there was Weird Al Yankovich, before there was PDQ Bach, before there was Allan Sherman - there was Spike Jones. He and his Merry Men of Musical Mayhem delighted audiences - and themselves - with musical parodies, spoofs, noisemakers and just plain silliness. You cannot think of cowbells, air horns and whistles being used as musical instruments without thinking Spike Jones first!
"Spiked" is definitely a worthy addition to your collection. Unlike his "Best Of" series, this includes rarely-heard songs - some of which were previously unreleased - and two making their world premiere!
Of course, it includes some of the old standards, such as "Laura," "Man on the Flying Trapeze" and "Holiday For Strings," but it also includes such rarities as "Powerhouse," "Frantic Freeway," "I Dream of Brownie with the Light Blue Jeans" and the complete "Nutcracker Suite." Even after his death, Spike Jones has remained fully ingrained in our pop culture. I remember hearing "I Dream of Brownie" on the "Chuck Jones, the Magic Man" show when I was a kid (in the early 60's) and laughing out loud. I even remember a former host on KUSC-FM, using "Frantic Freeway" as background music for his traffic reports!
Also included in the linear notes is a very interesting history of Spike Jones and his music.
If you're in a Weird mood - and Want a Whiff of this Wonderful World of Wackiness, I would "Wreckommend" this CD!
