Incredibile! Stupendi tutti !!!😊❤

[@waynestewart1919]

That was hilarious!

[@TrustJesusToday]

I was 11 days old when this aired. Canadian Sunset (Hugo Winterhalter's version) is one of the best instrumentals ever. Give it a listen.

[@BackToTheBlues]

If you look up My Guy by Mary Wells on Wikipeida it points out they used a little of Canadian Sunset at the start at the behest of one of the trombonists when they couldn't think of an intro!

[@briandonegan8480]

He knew exactly what was coming. Anyone familiar with Spike Jones knows what was coming. I was not disappointed.
All the lunacy aside, Jones was as serious a muscian as he could be. You have to be to arrange music the way he did. Nothing was out of place.
I wish I could have seen a show of his live. Sadly he died 20 years before I was born

[@NoahSpurrier]

Yup. He had fun with music, but he was a musician.

November 15, 1956. The little person is Billy Barty.

[@CSltz]

I didn’t know that there were words to this song let alone anything like this. Thanks so much for posting this.

[@dontaylor7315]

The guy in the golf cart has gotta be Billy Barty. I'm familiar with him only because of the Peter Gunn series where he's a pool hustler, but I'm sure he did other good work as well. He was a child actor in the 1930s.

[@lohphat]

He was an ensemble member for years.

[@jamespfitz]

He's the most famous midget in show business

[@martinm3474]

Two Giants together, thanks!

[@PJ-vw4zu]

Unlike you know who on the "Rust" set, Spike checked to make sure the gun held only blanks at 0:56. That is exactly what any actor on a movie set is responsible for doing.

[@rhonda7070]

😂🤣😂 Love this. A bit ironic for me, as I'm always wishing he'd sing alone instead of with his top twenty.

[@joanbonnet8229]
