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". Mickey went on from there to write his Yiddish parodies and the rest is history,

Don't be an alien--name Doodles Weaver's famous niece. Good luck.

Your answer is really light. What wouldn't we read if someone had written "Fucking black people"! But hush, I'm already subversive and politically incorrect.

very good -none of you mentioned his being the uncle of sigourney weaver...she was still in the deep end of the gene pool then.

Doodles Weaver also had a series of "shorts" on early TV called "A Day with Doodles"

The man on Mary's right at 1:36 (who also delivers the seal's bark) is Winstead "Doodles" Weaver, who became famous in Spike's band for his interprtations of the "William Tell Overture" and "Dance Of the Hours", and appearing on his Coca-Cola radio show as "Professor Feetlebaum". At 1:53 is A. Purves Pullen, who was a professional bird impressionist and was known in Spike's outfit as "Dr. Horatio Q. Birdbath".

I thought that was Deforest Kelly in the beginning, and once I read the comments here it confirmed that. Useless trivia: he was friends with George Reeves (Superman). Back to topic, Spike was fantastic as were the members of his troupe.

Will I see my deceased husband zep meissner run around with the clarinet and laugh... he was the best musician of all time.

ooops! I just googled Mary Hatcher and it was Mary in the clip - in her first big role in the film 'Variety Girl'.
