Lindley Armstrong "Spike" Jones (December 14, 1911 – May 1, 1965) was a musician and ‎bandleader specializing in performing satirical arrangements of popular songs. Ballads and classical ‎works receiving the Jones treatment would be punctuated with gunshots, whistles, cowbells, and ‎outlandish vocals. Through the 1940s and early 1950s, the band recorded under the title Spike Jones ‎and his City Slickers and toured the United States and Canada under the title The Musical ‎Depreciation Revue.‎
