The Spike Jones Show
Sightseeing Tour of Philadelphia with Jean Tierney
von
The Spike Jones Show brings the irreverent musical comedy of bandleader Spike Jones and his City Slickers to radio. Jones was known for turning familiar popular songs into exuberant comic performances, using unexpected sound effects, novelty instruments, and deliberately chaotic arrangements.
The program mixes musical numbers with comedy and spoken entertainment, creating a lively variety-show experience rather than a single continuous story. Its humor often comes from musical surprises and playful disruption, with the band’s performances at the center. This broadcast is titled “Sightseeing Tour of Philadelphia” and also names Jean Tierney.
Expect broad, energetic comedy and a sound that delights in the absurd. The combination of Jones’s musical mischief and the variety format makes the show a distinctive listen for fans of novelty music and classic radio entertainment.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
