spike jones in meet the people

[@bernardboka4277]

So much talent and humor. Thank you to the greatest generation

For those asking about the dancer: According to Wikipedia, her name was Miriam LaVelle. IMDB says she died in 1958 at just 31, but not much is known about her private life so it's anybody's guess as to what happened to her.

Never saw this until now. Thanks!

I had never heard Spike Jones sing before - well done. Depicting Hitler as an organ grinder monkey and Mussolini as an organ grinder was beyond inspired. I don't know who the female dancer was, but I bet she was a figure skater at some point as she showed skating moves in her fantastic dancing.

Let's here it for Benito and Adolph! This was their finest performance.

I saw this video almost ten years ago from another uploader who called it Hey Shickelgruber it got deleted. Wilhelm Reich called Joseph Stalin (Joe Steel translated) by his real name Djugaahvilli and they burned his books and heart attacked him in prison. It used to be all these dictators used fake names. Now we don't even know who's behind the Creepy Uncle Groper Clone Joe Biden mask⸮ If it kills you to take your mask off, you're Darth Vader⸮

Historically speaking, it probably was their only appreciated performance…
