New Re: OK.. Spike Jones! & the city slickers - beetlebomb

Is his enduring memory for me. Dad was a Spike Jones fan. I recall that once, in the spirit of Spike Jones (who may have 1st done this) he took a 78 of 'Mule Train' (Frankie Lane) and drilled an extra hole near the centre - got a few hours laugh out of the distorted version that played.

I still occasional mimic Spike Jones calling of the race in the Bettlebomb song. Esp remember "'Banana peel' slipping up on the inside rail".

Also of a slightly later era was Gerard Hoffnung & his 'orchestra'.

RE Frick & Frack - rings a bell but can't recall em ?

Cheers

Doug

I remember Spike Jones records, they were great.

Frick and Frack were a pair of clowns with the Ice Follies. They did the most amazing things on skates. There is some kind of store called Frick and Frack's, so if you do a web search, that is all you'll see...interlopers!

New They seemed closest that.. '50s Murican culture could abide
of genuine satire. I was never sure (?) if some of their barbs re the obvious Baddies contained.. a bit of double entendre for Us'ns too (??) :-\ufffd

(I didn't later - really think there was a nascent Swift there, of course..)

But I'd bet that the later 'martyr'-comics, hounded from small club to small club by the Righteous Police (even arresting them from time to time!) .. all had heard Spike's stuff as kids. Y'know?

(Some of the words we kids made-up to pop-songs - would have gotten us the same treatment.. had we been a bit older and louder. Naturally too - we had yet to learn from life - just How deceitful had been our class courses, esp. re 'civics' and 'democracy' and the rule of law equally applied (even to Corporations!) and all that other cant, intended to mollify our umm periodic questions.)

Ah.. antiAuthoritarianism.. may Her banner ever wave free, in the winds of blowhards!
