Very Funny
Spike Jones and his City Slickers perform their popular novelty song -- when Jones and his boys got their hands on them, everything was a novelty song -- in this funny soundie.
Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.
A nice part of the humor is that Spike and the boys know it's basically mimed to the record, so they feel free to make things musical instruments that couldn't serve as such.
