[Dixielandjazz] "In Der Führer's Face"

[tubaman at tubatoast.com]

There is a blog/website that goes into a lot of detail about this song and cartoon. The site is mostly about Disney art used on WW2 aircraft and insignia, but he takes a detour to this film. I don't have the URL handy, but it is one of the first things that turns up on a web search on the song title or film name. 

I will find it when I get back home from my gig in Napa today.

The cartoon was "Donald Duck In Nutzy Land" (or something similar). It is 
available in one of the boxed sets of Disney cartoons. As I read the story, 
Spike Jones heard that the Disney studio was making it and asked them to let 
his band do the music.

If you want a strenuous workout, try dancing a polka to the original Jones 
recording, which was a huge hit when it was issued as a single.

If anyone wants a lead sheet of "In Der Führer's Face" (with the original 
lyrics), I can send it to him.
