This song was written one year after Prohibition ended (Note the opening lyrics). According to recording industry insiders, one of the song's composers, Sam Coslow, hated Jones' irreverent treatment, but even so, the recording's success earned him large royalties.

Haven't heard this song since I was a kid, I've always wondered if there was video to go with the song, now I know!

"Doodles Weaver,"one of Spike Jones "City Slickers," is the uncle of Sigourney Weaver, who played Lt. Ellen Ripley in the "Alien" film series.

I'm familiar with the soundtrack of this song/sketch, but this is the fist time I've seen the video.That man... was a GENIUS.

I grew up listening to a 78 of this song, which is backed with Holiday For Strings. I about wore it out, and I'm sure that Spike Jones infected me with my love of music. You guys know he was the RCA studio drummer, right? The guy was talented. Unfortunately, he was also a massive chain smoker. RIP, Spike, and thanks for all the music.

Somehow, seeing this video isn't as funny as having just heard it on the record player as a kid? Am I am oddity, here, on this?
