Movie Reviews of Spike Jones: The Legend

Movie Review: Highly Recommended!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great collection of 4 TV variety show episodes from the master of musical depreciation! The kinescope transfers on all but the first episode are spectacular. Footage of Jones is hard to come by so any time it appears for purchase it's a cause for celebration. If you're a fan you won't be disappointed and should support this release so that a 2nd set can be made.

Summary of Spike Jones: The Legend

Spike Jones, referred to by many as the "god father of music video mayhem," brought his special brand of notes and nuts to '50s network television. Sneezes, belches, coughs, razberries, tuned cowbells, auto horns, and gun-shots - along with the finest musicianship - made up Spike Jones' "Musical Depreciation Revue." The original bad boys of music directly influenced such musical iconoclasts as Stan Freberg, Ernie Kovacs, Frank Zappa and Weird Al Yankovic. Enjoy the zany antics of Spike Jones (who passed away in 1965) and the City Slickers in four of their most hilarious and memorable NBC television shows in this special four DVD collector's set. Includes the holiday favorite, "All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth," and Jones' million-selling version of "Cocktails for Two."
