Spike Jones was kind of a "Weird Al Yankovic" for the World War 2 era. While Hitler was still firmly in control of Europe, Jones sang this parody song, and it became a SMASH hit!
Anyone who didn't follow Hitler was in deep trouble. (Much like our good pal Osama Bin Laden.)
So subtitute "Bin Laden" for "Der Fuehrer" whereever possible. And remember the Bronx cheer, Phhhhhft!

This song was without a doubt Disney's most popular wartime accompishment. After the short was produced, the song was picked up and made even more popular by Spike Jones and his City Slickers. For those who have never heard the song, the "phhhht" should be delivered with as loud and as juicy a rasberry as possible.
