Lindley Armstrong Jones. Born: December 14, 1911 in Long Beach, California. Died: May 01, 1965 in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California. American jazz drummer and bandleader perhaps best known for performing and recording satirical arrangements of popular songs. The songs receiving the Spike Jones treatment would commonly be punctuated with gunshots, whistles, cowbells, and outlandish vocals. Through the 1940s and early 1950s, his band primarily recorded under the name Spike Jones and his City Slickers. They scored their first big hit in 1942 with "Der Fuehrer's Face", a song ridiculing Adolf Hitler that was later adapted by Walt Disney into an animated propaganda film intended to sell war bonds during WWII.
