Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from March 1, 2024 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.

Friday 8 - 9am (EDT) | On WFMU's Sheena's Jungle Room

Ian Whitcomb! I'm wondering which Brit music hall tunes I heard first, Ian Whitcomb or Herman's Hermits.

The Herman's Hermits one is so out of left field

Nick Lucas, don't you mean, since I think Whitcomb was active before Tiny Tim.

Tim had't realized yet, yes, but also Nick doesn't sing in a falsetto like that

I saw Ian Whitcomb at a Vintage Music festival about twenty years ago. He was very entertaining and was playing the ukulele and accordion.

Seems that Whitcomb and Herman's Hermits both blew up in 1965.

↳ Song: "Where Did You Get That Hat" by "Al Simmons"
Aha, Kevin Ayers did a song that was derived from this. Something about "What about me" where complaining that people pay attention to hat, shirt, etc and he comes back with "what about me." Sounding very similar to this hat song.

I'll have to go looking for that one. I don't recall that one.

Shucks, I had a phone meeting that took my attention for the last half hour. More archive listening. At first glance I mixed up Corlyn Davies with English conductor Colin Davis and was wondering what the hey, he's doing music hall songs?

There's some good stuff in that half hour

Wow, how great, bunch of old guys (my age), siblings or cousins, doing camp and campy songs they have sung since their youth. Thank you.
