This day in music history.

May 1, 1964, Bandleader Spike Jones dies from emphysema at age 62. He was born Lindley Armstrong in 1911. Spike and his band The City Slickers were one of the most popular novelty acts of the 1940s and '50s. They made fun of everyone from Russians, Chinese, Liszt, and Hitler. Spike got his nickname from his father who said he was as thin as a railroad spike. His biggest hit was "All I Want for Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth)," a 1948 song that topped the pop chart for three weeks and sold more than 1 million copies. Spike once said , "We get along by not taking anything serious."
Der Fuehrer's Face by Spike Jones
When Der Fuehrer says, "We ist der master race"
We HEIL! HEIL! Right in Der Fuehrer's face
Not to love Der Fuehrer is a great disgrace
So we HEIL! HEIL! Right in Der Fuehrer's face
When Herr Gobbels says, "We own der world und space"
We HEIL! HEIL! Right in Herr Goring's face
When Herr Goring says they'll never bomb this place
We HEIL! HEIL! Right in Herr Goring's face

Everyone of foreign race will love Der Fuehrer's face
When we bring to der world disorder

We HEIL! HEIL! Right in Der Fuehrer's face
When Der Fuehrer says, "We ist der master race"
We HEIL! HEIL! Right in Der Fuhrer's face
