That was before my time, but wow… there was a lot of talent on display!
I remember watching him as a little Galt back in the 50’s. Had a TV with a 6″ square screen. Boy, you youngsters have it made today.
Look up The Show of Shows with Cid Cearar. Comics could be funny without the swearing and the filth that passes for humor today.
And yes, that walk to and from school uphill both ways was a killer but I’ll let the gang here walk on my lawn.
MJA; Glad you enjoyed it. It popped up from a memory floating around in my head from my early years, long ago in a faraway place.
Wow, somebody ask them to turn down those suits!
Fun! I saw some break dancing in there!
A friend, who is an accomplished professional musician, has been on national TV this year playing music on a washing machine (below). So it continues…

BTW, this friend first hit the big time about 10 years ago with his ‘Prom’ song – which I first saw on this site!
Long time fan!! I’ve got most of their stuff on vinyl and CDs plus the definitive history written by Jordan Young. These guys were a riot!!! This is great stuff!!!!!
At the beginning when he was orchestrating with the gun. 🤣🤣🤣
That was Mr. Howell (Gilligan’s Island) at the end with the suitcase, right?
Jim Baccus
Also Mr Magoo

The talent here is off the chart. The rehearsal and work that goes into routines like these just to get the timing is uncanny and kudos goes to each and every musician and performer. No one in today’s talent pool could duplicate this perfection.
These two links are for two of my favorite Spike Jones bits..

I think Spike was also responsible for Jingle Bells by barking dogs. A Christmas classic. Also Cocktails for Two with sound effects.
MJA: Jim Backus also played some dramatic roles, notably Rebel without a Cause.
great post
