No Spike Jones and His City Slickers on this site? Um, no ma'am, I don't believe there is. Well, let's put that right straight away:

Live from 1945. From Wiki:

The romantic ballad "Cocktails for Two", originally written to evoke an intimate romantic rendezvous, was re-recorded by Spike Jones in 1944 as a raucous, horn-honking, voice-gurgling, hiccuping hymn to the cocktail hour. The Jones version was a huge hit, much to the resentment of composer Sam Coslow.

Quite a few Spike Jones soundies out there: The Sheikh of Araby, for instance; or maybe Clink! Clink! Another Drink featuring Mel Blanc will hit the spot; or Pass the Biscuits Mirandy.
