Yo Greg! Here to dig the Spike Joneses of many lands.

There's always room for more Spikes Jones. (I think it's pluralized the Surgeons General.)

Spike Jones makes me relax in the way that new age music does for some people.

Tobi Rix was the Spike Jones of Netherlands. In case you were wondering.

@ Fab - Gotta look him up!

This version of this song is ridiculous, and I almost love it.
Avatar 5:18pm
spacebrother:

@ Austin - You have a definite point here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:20pm
Austin Rich:

Oh dear! I can't tell if Homer and Jethro are great - because the band really can play - or if they are terrible, because they could be putting those skills to use elsewhere.
Avatar 5:21pm
spacebrother:

They had moments of true genius.

This one has me laffin!

Love this H&J El Paso redo.

Austin Rich:

"I felt single even though I was seeing double," is a brilliant line.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:24pm
Austin Rich:

I've never heard this Allan Sherman parody before. I need to re-evaluate his output.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:25pm
MHLee:

Allan Sherman, I've considered him for MWRA many times but he hasn't made it yet
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:26pm
MHLee:

Actually looking at this show tonight, we overlap a bit
Avatar 5:26pm
spacebrother:

Hey MHL - Yeah, it's hard to pick something that doesn't sound too close to his "hits."
Avatar 5:28pm
spacebrother:

Speaking of hits...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:29pm
MHLee:

I feel like this song a captures the Borsht belt
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:29pm
MHLee:

or at least the two do
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:30pm
Austin Rich:

I think his comedy is probably in dialog with the Borsht Belt stuff. He's probably very familiar with it, anyway.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:32pm
MHLee:

Kinky Freidman runs a Jewish kids ranch in Texas somewhere

STILL finding Herb Alpert parodies
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:34pm

That's hilarious! Banjo Beatles!

spacebrother:

@ MHL - Now THAT's something I didn't know, but I am not at all surprised.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:39pm
Austin Rich:

This Gallop song is pretty amazing. It has a little bit of that, "Pencil Neck Geek," vibe to it.
Avatar 5:41pm
spacebrother:

@ Austin - It totally does!
Avatar 5:41pm
spacebrother:

You do know the original, right?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:41pm
MHLee:

Was Silly Savage some sort of gay slang from way back? There's that other band... Terry and Teddy pr something WWR plays with an album called "Here's the Hits You Silly Savages"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:42pm
Austin Rich:

I don't, but I will be looking it up soon. I'm curious now.

Ha! This Fallout Shelter song is great!
Avatar 5:43pm
spacebrother:

@ MHL - I think it was something that straight society used as a euphemism.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:43pm
MHLee:

This is great!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:45pm
Austin Rich:

Yes! Your set is on fire today, Spacebrother!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:45pm

I need to go find your first show of novelty songs. I might steal some of these.
Avatar 5:46pm
spacebrother:

@ MHL - Go for it! I'd be honored!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:46pm
Austin Rich:

We all borrow songs from each other. There's certainly "Sheena Memes" that seem to pop up now and then.

“Rock Me Jerry Lewis” is a good “Rock Me Amadeus” parody
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:52pm
Austin Rich:

The "Danish" angle was new to me, but provoked a chuckle, for sure.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:56pm

What I love about Cheech is that he always commits to the bit, no matter how strange it is.
