Orchestra / band, active from the early 1940s to the mid 1950s, which specialized 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. The group came to be due to drummer Spike Jones growing bored with playing the same music each night he performed with The Victor Young Orchestra; First to be recruited was Delmar Porter, who sang with The Foursome -- a vocal and ocarina quartet Jones had backed on Decca Records -- was Jones' partner in musical mayhem from the outset.
