Two Giants together, thanks!

That thumbnail tho 😏🤭😂

[@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.

[@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.

❤

[@rhonda7070]

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