Sneezes, belches, coughs, razberries, tuned cowbells, auto horns, and gun-shots - along with the finest musicianship - made up Spike Jones' "Musical Depreciation Revue." The original bad boys of music directly influenced such musical iconoclasts as Stan Freberg, Ernie Kovacs, Frank Zappa and Weird Al Yankovic. Enjoy the zany antics of Spike Jones and the City Slickers in four of their most hilarious and memorable NBC television shows in this special three DVD / one audio CD collector's set. Includes the holiday favorite, "All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth," and Jones' million-selling version of "Cocktails for Two." Review: Spike Jones - YES!!! - There is NO WAY I'll ever convince you to like Spike Jones unless you have an open mind, a well developed sense of humor, and are willing to appreciate absolute mayhem as entertainment. The Jones band didn't bill themselves as a "Music Depreciation Review" for nothing. They systematically "destroyed" all music that came their way by playing it in a totally unexpected fashion. However, if you listen carefully, you hear an extremely clever and talented rendition of music that might otherwise be considered as banal. The renditions are never "polite" or even reasonably truthful to the original. However, all are truly "howlers" due to their devilish reconstruction. If you are a music purist don't even consider buying this CD. If your tastes are in the more eclectic range and you enjoy a good laugh, buy this CD NOW! Note: Spike Jones was a product of the 1940's and his music reflects that era. If you're a fan of that era, Spike's stuff belongs in your collection. If for no other reason than as a reminder that we used to have a sense of humor. Review: Fans of Really Old Television will love this - Anyone old enough to remember the Colgate Comedy Hour will appreciate this collection of kinescopes from that show. The Colgate Comedy Hour featured a variety of stars from the 40s and 50s. Spike Jones was a band leader, famous for his outrageous ripoff satires of popular songs of the era. Probably most famous for an anti-Hitler song "Der Fuhrer's Face", featured in a Walt Disney Cartoon, and a hit number "All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth". These DVDs feature several full length Colgate Comedy Hour shows that he did, complete. They are silly, stupid, and hilarious! As one would expect from kinescopes (the only means of saving live TV in those days--recording on film directly from a TV monitor), the quality of the video is not terribly great, but it's good enough to enjoy shows that would otherwise be gone forever. We're lucky to have these..the kinescopes of many of the great shows of the era were not preserved, and these are certainly watchable. Enjoy! I do. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000V9KEHE | | Actors | Billy Eckstine, Doodles Weaver, Helen Grayco, Hugh Herbert, Spike Jones | | Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 | | Batteries | 1 AAA batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | #103,169 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #1,203 in Musicals (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (41) | | Director | Ernest D.

I've been a fan of Spike Jones since I was a kid, but being in Australia, we never got to see any of his TV appearances in the Colgate and other shows. These DVDs bring out the best of Spike's comic genius. The comedy sketches are a bit old fashioned and the rather 'in your face' commercials pushing tooth paste and cleaning agents in the Colgate shows we could do without, but the musical items are an absolute gem. Spike may have murdered the classics, but he and his masterful musicians provided an entertainment that the world desperately needs, moreso today than it ever did. Regardless of the commercials and comedy sketches which seem slow and ponderous by today's standards, the four discs in this pack are excellent value. If you don't get at least a dozen laughs out of all the discs, you'd better have your pulse checked. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/20526227-spike-jones-the-legend](https://www.desertcart.in/products/20526227-spike-jones-the-legend) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
