This
is a classic Spike Jones recording – “Spike Jones and His City
Slickers, noted for their parodies of popular songs of the time, released a
version of Oliver Wallace's theme song, "Der Fuehrer's Face" (also
known informally as "The Nazi Song") in September of 1942
on Bluebird Records. The song parodied the Nazi anthem, the "Horst
Wessel Song".”
The song includes various forms of
sound effects, character voices, and variations of an original tune to recreate
it into a hilarious piece. In a way
Weird Al Yankovic could be considered the “Spike Jones” of this day an
age. Yankovic specializes in
manipulating popular songs and reconstructing them into hilarious
parodies. His new album, “Mandatory Fun”
was just release on July 15th, 2014 and is gaining great
reviews. The artist also released the
enriterty of the album on youtube for the enjoyment of fans and so to be fans
alike. With parodies on “Fancy” by Iggy
Azalea, "Royals" by Lorde, "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke
featuring T.I. and Pharrell Williams, Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons, and
many more.
I hope the video is funny to watch
and make sure to check out Weird Al’s new stuff.
