Who Spiked my Drink?

I love puns, even bad ones.
Actually, I don’t think there is such a thing, a pun IS bad, that’s what makes it GOOD.
I’m rambling again.
This video is a classic piece of American humor, done by a genius who was way ahead of his time.
And I do not use the word “genius” lightly.
Spike Jones made parody an art form.
He poked fun at all sorts of things…love songs, marriage, Hitler, horse racing and LIFE itself.
He was a source of humor when times were tough.
During World War II he wrote and performed a neat little ditty called Der Fuehrer’s Face
that helped the populace cope.
He performed with Doodles Weaver, George Rock, Freddy Morgan, Sir Frederick Gas and many more.
Spike was a drummer in a few bands before he started to incorporate humor into his act.
He created some superb routines over the years and this just might be his greatest one.

What is up with playing the corn cobs?! Must be an inside joke…
