The Pynchon/Feetlebaum Connection

[Hugh Schulze]

The album "The Very Best of Spike Jones" lists the song as:

"Feetlebaum/A Mudder's Day Sport Spectacular" written by S.Jones/D.
Weaver.

And just in case you were wondering what connection this might have to
Pynchon other than Mascaro's earlier post, this is what TRP wrote in the
liner notes to "Spiked! -- The Music of Spike Jones":  
"[Doodles] Weaver is also featured vocalist on 'The Man on the Flying
Trapeze,' where he exhibits much of the antic appeal that led to groups
of Weaver cultists showing up on the nationwide 'Musical Depreciation
Revue' tour itinerary, places like Hutchinson, Kansas, travelling miles
to greet him, barking like seals, from the front rows.  The barking
routine had been part of Weaver's kit since his undergraduate days at
Stanford, where he became legendary, once being unveiled in front of
distinguished alumnus Herbert Hoover at the official campus dedication
of a statue, cradled in the statue's arms and doing his seal
impression."
