About Spike Jones

Hometown

Long Beach, CA, United States

Born

December 14, 1911

Genre

Comedy

Bandleader Spike Jones spent the 1940s and '50s turning out madcap comedy records that alternately offered original, offbeat songs and satirized popular songs of the day. With his musical cohorts the City Slickers, the Long Beach, CA-born Jones managed the wonderful feat of not only being funny, but also making true musical jokes. The controlled pandemonium they took to the top of the pop charts in the '40s was the result of a top-flight band leader having stellar players at his command, unafraid to pillage anything from jazz to pop to classical music.

Spike Jones has also released music as a member of Spike Jones and His Orchestra, Spike Jones & His City Slickers, and Spike Jones New Band.
