Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from July 21, 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.

Even The Beatles got their knuckles rapped by the BBC ... because you can't advertise on the dear old Beeb. And "Paperback Writer" mentions The Daily Mail ;-)
Same with The Kinks and "Lola", which is why there are two versions - one with the Beeb-offensive "Coca Cola" and one with the safe "cherry cola" :-)
