About "Black Bottom" by Spike Jones & His City Slickers
Jones's 'Black Bottom' is a ragtime dance turned into a demolition derby. The horns bleat, the drums clatter, and the titular dance becomes a joyful stumble through a china shop. Underneath the slapstick is a tight, virtuosic band—the tension between precision and chaos, a cakewalk on a tightrope.
