Spike Jones - Clink! Clink! Another Drink

Back



Spike Jones and His City Slickers were among the many performers showcased in "Soundies," short musical films designed to be played in special jukeboxes. In CLINK! CLINK! ANOTHER DRINK (1942), Del Porter leads the chorus and there's a featured vocal by Mel Blanc, the voice of many legendary cartoon characters (including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety and Sylvester, Yosemite Sam, and Barney Rubble). Read all about Soundies in THE SOUNDIES BOOK: A REVISED AND EXPANDED GUIDE TO THE "MUSIC VIDEOS" OF THE 1940s (2007) available from iUniverse at www.iuniverse.com

Mel is the singing drunk with the mustache(he's holding the beer stein). Mel also provided his own vocals.

Actually, Mel Blanc's real voice was Sylvester without the lisp.

The banjo player in the picture in Red Rountree (later to perform with the Banjo Kings). But the soundtrack actually features guitarist Perry Botkin, Sr.
