(2-CD Set) Spike Jones formed his band, the City Slickers, in 1941 & the classical tradition and constantly evolving trends in popular music provided him with a rich vein of irresistible satirical opportunities which ensured a long and successful career. His first hit came in 1942 with their version of "Der Fuehrer's Face", a song which featured in a Walt Disney propaganda cartoon. He then set out throughout the 40s and beyond to record the dazzling parodies on which his reputation rests, the finest of which are included on this collection.
