The Spike Jones Story is the first documentary yet made about this innovative, musical humorist. Today Jones is best remembered as the creator of
deliriously surreal musical numbers which topped the charts in America for over ten years. These recorded classics are popular to this day because of their inspired and very complex lunacy. Clearly, Jones was an inspiration to dozens of other innovators,
including Monty Python's Flying Circus and Ernie Kovacs.
