THE BLACKSMITH SONG (1942), another Spike Jones novelty tune, deals with World War II-era shortages, as a village blacksmith returns to prosperity, thanks to wartime tire rationing. (Note that the patriotic and ration-conscious "horse" accepts only one lump of sugar instead of two.)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

The best way to understand who Frank Zappa is/was is probably to just experience his music. Like Jones and Yankovic, Zappa was known for interjecting humor into his music, while traversing an enormous range of styles and genres (although Zappa's humor was often more bizarre). He was an excellent guitarist himself, and he was known to surround himself with some of the best musicians in the business. Check out his earlier material with the Mothers Of Invention and his later solo stuff.

I love it....Spike Jones being compared to Wierd Al and Frank Zappa. I have to go with the first choice, I think Zappa was really outrageous but a genius.Wierd Al is just for the fun of it.
