Any Spike Jones fans here?

[BDBopper]

Any fans of Spike Jones & The City Slickers, here? I have loved their unique brand of musical humor for a long time. What is amazing is that they could play anything put in front of them and that all of them were actually excellent musicians. Not only that but when doing their funny songs, no sound was out of place musically-it all fit in.

Ya dig Hep'Cats and Kittens?

Spike Jones was one of my first loves. I can still remember listening to him for the very first time -- it was "My Old Flame" and I was about four years old. Mind altering good stuff.

Tref sez, checkitout.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

I don't know who Spike Jones is either. However, I can name all 4 members of the now-defunct band N*SYNC, and that's just sinful. Justin, JC, Joey & Chris, we miss thee.

Okay, I know that Disney short you mentioned, BDBopper! Whew! I feel better!! I'll need to check Spike Jones out. I thought this thread was about "Spike Jonze" at first. I was going to contribute with the informative post that "he's now hooking up with Drew Barrymore". If it's not in Star or Us Weekly, I'm out of the loop.

Oh, and I *heart* your bold font. I've been posting in georgia font since way back when. I do everything in georgia font, except birthday posts, which I do in size ginormous text, and delightful pastels. I look like I'm screeching birthday joy, which, in essence, I am. It's my style.

Not a big N*Sync fan at all...they are/were just not my style of music. I'm more of a retro kind of guy which is why I love it here...even thought I've only been at LoT for a few days.

I had forgotten there was someone in the biz going by Spike Jonze.

I heart Birthdays and Birthday posts. Some people look down on them but to me they are a big deal. I was born physically challenged, legally blind, and without a nose to speak of (just two holes in the middle of my face). The Doctors told my parents that I would not live past six months but if I did I would be in a vegetative state. But here I am after 23 and a half years still going strong. Each day is a blessing and a new gift but each birthday is special to me. So if I overhype someone's birthday that's why-I forget that some people don't consider it a special occasion like I do.

BTW: I love your avatar it is so cute! And pastel colors rock!

Oh back on topic-Bang! Bang! Bang! Glug! Burp! Ding! Aoooga! LOL

Oh Ally. Madz had a serious N*SYNC addiction. We've got all 4 of the marionettes. And I own a copy of "On The Line".

Though HTHBellcaptain is scarce around here these days, I know that Spike Jones is one of his favorites, and thanks to that, one of mine too.

Spike Jones... good stuff.
