Liner Note Author: Larry Zwisohn.
Compiling some of the screwball bandleader`s best-loved and most twisted renditions of 1940s and `50s pop songs, this collection features Spike Jones and his orchestra`s hilariously chaotic mangling of such previously innocent and unsuspecting standards as "Cocktails For Two," "That Old Black Magic," and "The Sheik of Araby." In addition, the gang commits felonious musical assault on Johann Strauss`s "Blue Danube" as well as perpetrating the perennially side-splitting "You Always Hurt the One You Love."
