Spike Jones featuring Mickey Katz (1947) Posted by: voxpopulai
Video duration: 218 seconds This clip gives us a rare and wonderful look at Spike Jones hilarity, with the added delight of seeing Mickey Katz (the short, bald guy playing clarinet) goofing around with the band and even doing his trademark "glugg-glugg".

Allan Sherman - Harvey and Sheila Posted by: voxpopulai
Video duration: 226 seconds Could this be one of the greatest parodies of all time? Compare the beginning to Harry Belafonte's recording of Hava Nagila and you'll see that Sherman was inspired by the original Belafonte version. Hey, it's BETTER than the original IMO. I did the video myself. No big deal, but I hope you enjoy it. Related: allan, hava, nagila, parody, sherman, spoof |

Nichols & May 'Telephone Operator' Sketch Posted by: voxpopulai
Video duration: 426 seconds The greatest comedy duo of all time? It depends whether you go for brainy (Nichols and May) or bawdy (Reiner and Brooks).
