After seeing Secret love, I had to have a good Spike Jones cd. While no new Spike Jones album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1994 tour in Asia. John Digester has compared writing for Spike Jones’s new album to that on ‘Anthology (cd2)’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Such great and happy songs.
When I listen to in my car when traffic ain’t going so good.
I went to your wedding is a medium tempo tune. Spike Jones breathes new life into the music in April showers. The late late late movies Part 2 marked the continuation of Spike Jones in style evolution. Black and Blue Danube waltz Paris Symphony is one of the best records ever. I’m in the mood for love as a highlight of Anthology (cd2) contains a ton of excellent melodies. I only have eyes for you is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. Such hits like Yes ! We have no bananas will leave you hooked. Pal-Yat-Chee is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. Spike Jones sings his heart out in Black bottom. Rhapsody from hunger(y) - This one makes me want to not only sing along. Morpheus - A catchy, upbeat tune. Barney Google is a exquisite sing-along. Wild Bill Hiccup the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe. Don’t judge Dance of the hours on the first listening. Ya wanna buy a bunny ? - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Spike Jones. None but the lonely heart - For me, this is the best of the album. Ill barkio presents the perfect mix of instruments on Anthology (cd2). By the beautiful sea is such a amazing and optimistic song that things can get just better. I have all of Spike Jones’s tracks and William Tell ouverture is probably the most his introspective effort.
