Today's Video Link

It's my favorite bandleader, Spike Jones. He and the City Slickers recorded their biggest hit, "Cocktails for Two," in 1944 and sold billions of copies, much to the ambivalence of songwriter Sam Coslow. He penned the tune and got a royalty for every copy sold...but he hated what Spike and the Slickers did to his tune. I don't know when this little music video was done but it's a pantomime to the original record with many of the same performers.
