Best Answer

While Spike Jones did have a hit song (Der Furher's Face) that was also made into a Disney cartoon, the Firehouse Five (+2) was started independently by Disney animators and associates, first with leader Ward Kimball on Trombone, Clarke Mallery on Clarinet, Frank Thomas on piano, Ed Penner on bass sax and Jim McDonald on drums, the group billed itself as the Hugageedy 8 and later as the San Gabriel Valley Blue Blowers. Eventually they picked up Johnny Lucas on Trumpet and Harper Goff on banjo. Other musicians played with the group over the years.

It was renamed Firehouse Five Plus Two in the early 1950s.
