For those of you who don not know who Spike Jones is. You owe yourself to go investigate him. Without even investigating him if you remember Disney short "Symphony Hour" that is pretty much what Spike Jones did, but with a little mroe style and flair and everything flowed well without becoming a cacophony.
Beforehand do a study of music from the Big Band era of the late 30's and 40's because that is most of the material Spike Jones would lampoon (along with familiar classical pieces).
Spike Jones' "Der Fuehrer's Face" was turned into a Disney short subject so you may have seen that if you have the Treasures DVD it appears on but I think it can also be found on youtube...at least I have seen it there in the past.
