Lindley Armstrong "Spike" Jones (December 14, 1911 – May 1, 1965) was an American musician and bandleader specializing in satirical arrangements of popular songs and classical music. Ballads receiving the Jones treatment were punctuated with gunshots, whistles, cowbells and outlandish and comedic vocals. From the early 1940s to the mid-1950s, Jones and his band recorded under the title Spike Jones and his City Slickers and toured the United States and Canada as The Musical Depreciation Revue.

On this, one of the best collections of Jones' music, the listener is treated to such trademark sounds as gunshots, gurgling, cowbells, belches, and car horns. Jones and his band of like-minded men and women lampoon the most "serious" of all music: the classics
