Hi all,
For fans of Spike Jones style novelty music:

Take a look at this odd clip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRdX3dHG0sU&feature=related from the
film that translates as "Happy Guys" or  "Jolly Fellows."

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0025946/

Note the parade of Helicon tubas in the middle! They must have had a
huge budget...

and this amazing musical fight:

not the highest video quality, but worth a look!
