Time for more novelty holiday music, this time featuring Spike Jones & His City Slickers and The Bell Sisters. Socko The Smallest Snowball was released on the EP above, but also as a 45 coupled with Barnyard Christmas in 1952. Spike Jones was a fixture when it came to holiday novelty tunes in the 1950s and 1960s. For Jones' complete 1956 album Let's Sing A Song For Christmas featuring My Two Front Teeth and Nuttin' For Christmas, follow this link. NOTE: Some of the choral group songs are as tight as anything Ray Conniff, Mitch Miller, or Hugo Winterhalter ever did. Ideal for kids and adults, as the mix of songs should appeal to both.Socko The Smallest Snowball
