Spike Jones & His City Slickers - Cocktails for Two download

We had the original LP (Long Playing Record)

Cant you just picture the U.S soldiers in Europe during World War 2 listening to this, its over 70 years old and we are all brought together to listen to what our grandfathers listened to, that's amazing.

In some secluded rendezvous, That overlooks the avenue, With someone sharing a delightful chat, Of this and that, And cocktails for two. As we enjoy a cigarette, To some exqiuisite chansonette, Two hands are sure to slyly meet beneath a serviette, With cocktails for two. My head may go reeling, But my heart will be o-be-di-ent, With in-tox-i-cat-ing kisses, For the principal in-gre-di-ent, Most any afternoon at five, We'll be so glad we're both alive, Then maybe fortune will complete her plan, That all began With cocktails for two

This was the zaniest ditties from one of the funniest men - with the quirkiest sense of humor! Have loved it & Spike Jones since I was a kid! 

The violin player's face gets me every time

Who’s here because of of the main man Stan

The surrealist American genius of Spike Jones. Not just entertainment, there's a master at work here folks.

2:00 - That's when the song gets corny, but in a good way.

At 2:21 Hey...it's FRANK ZAPPA!!! I read years ago that Zappa was influenced by Spike and the City Slickers---BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! hahaha

As a vintage jukebox enthusiast, I've identified the model of the one in the beginning of this clip. It's a Wurlitzer 850 from 1941.

the fact that the bartender has the straightest face I've ever seen in the midst of complete madness is what sells it for me.

Can I travel back in time, so I can see this magic?

This guy was the Weird Al Yankovic of the 40s.
