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.

Mel Blanc | I Tell My Troubles to Joe | 1952 | There's a lot to digest with this song. Why is this song about drinking in a bar because you fight with your wife in Bugs Bunny's voice? | 0:53:20 (Pop-up) | |

I believe the Billy Costello theme was included but most of the album is just Paul's Band. | 0:58:49 (Pop-up) | |
