Spike Jonze

I think it's within the realm of reason that people looking for Spike Jonze might get this page instead; I'm not sure how to point this fact out on the page itself, though.

When I saw this in recent changes I thought it was a misspelled article for Spike Jonze. :) -- Ô¿Ô

I've added a little note to the bottom of the page - I agree it's very possible that somebody might get confused, or misspell Jonze's name. --Camembert

Ha ha, I corrected "Vaughan" to "Vaughn" and then typed "Vaugn" when saying that I did it. Stuff happens. Richard K. Carson 04:46, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Great article on this band, which I really enjoyed as a kid. However, I remember the band's name being given as "Spike Jones and the Band That Plays For Fun." I believe this was when they had their own summer show on CBS in the late 1950s. I had a couple of LP albums from that period, and I seem to recall that name being on at least one of them.

Seems to me this name for Jones' band belongs in the article.

Mickey Katz

We need to find a way to refer to his band member Mickey Katz in the Spike Jones article

Spike Jones the percussionist on "White Christmas" the song?

Where is the citation or source regarding this dubious entry? I have edited the incorrect Wiki link for the song "White Christmas", but cannot find out if this entry is factually correct. Refsworldlee 18:59, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have generally tidied the entry up, and verified it's feasibility, adding a citation. Refsworldlee 19:20, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Angel Radio 'live webcast' link - 2-2-07

Can we reach a consensus on the validity of this addition, assuming that it is not reverted in the meantime. Is this a notable and relevant link for the External Links section, outside of the Sources section? Would we then not object if other radio webcast links were featured, and where would it end? I would suggest that a short note inserted in the body of the article mentioning that Spike can still be heard on Angel Radio in the UK (no external link - this is not a link directory, remember) would be more appropriate. Please add your comments on this. Refsworldlee^(chew-fat) 13:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reference to "Der Fuehrer's Face" and 'Cracked' magazine

Hi. I for one am quite happy to accept this as possibly true for now, although I could find no sources whatsoever on the internet. If the editor who added it (or anyone else) would like to furnish a citation where it now asks for one, it would help in the long term to ensure this fact is not eventually edited out due to lack of such sources. Thanks. Refsworldlee^(chew-fat)(eds) 17:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What about Eddie Maxwell

Eddie Cherkose (later known as Eddie Maxwell) was a Jones collaborator. Should he get a mention? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.110.235.248 (talk • contribs) 15:48, June 11, 2007 (UTC)

Carl Stalling

what kind of influential relationship do you think Spike Jones and Carl Stalling had with each other? I'm seeing alot of similarities.
