I love to watch Weird Al speak like this with such enthusiasm... You really get to sense his enjoyment

Bravo!! Huzzaa! Spike is some of my earliest memories, from a little black and white screen, along with Red Skelton. Yes, Al, you do indeed carry on the tradition - the world can not live without humor and music, and Spike melded them both perfectly - a consummate musician as well. A trait that Al shares.

How delightful to find Weird Al talking about another one of his heroes. Great to see. Thanks for posting this!

Well, you picked the perfect spokesman. I love both of them dearly. My mother had a couple of albums of Spike Jones' music, and I listened to them obsessively until they pretty much became unplayable (no CDs or MP3s back then, only vinyl records, of course!) I still find myself singing Spike's goofy songs and was delighted to see that some film footage of him has been preserved.

I just want to say that both Spike Jones and "Weird" Al have always been my favorite comedic musicians. When I was younger, my grandfather had a Spike Jones album... I was hooked. And I've enjoyed Al every since he's been making albums. From Beetlebum to White & Nerdy... they are both genius.

Personally, I believe Al is a talented lyricist and contemporary music satirist. With that in mind we chose him to speak to Spike's brilliant melding of comedy and music and we're thrilled with his participation in the launch of this new DVD package. So to answer your question, we, The Estate of Spike Jones chose Al to comment on genius.
