Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from April 7, 2023 Favoriting

MHLee's avatar View MHLee's profile Favoriting

Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in.

Bluebird was like the cheap label in the day . Songs cut on it were often novelty or blues

the original voice for Popeye never let people forget HE was the originator...it was much rougher with innuendos strewn why he mumbled

No, different song. You brought it up as a Dutch song with a similar theme and then I was like "that's the same song my grandmother knows"

Her treatment is to be a showcase for her voice. Some amazing parts but a bit cold to me.
