Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from November 18, 2022 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.

Sounds like it's Curly Joe on this. They may have recorded it just for the album in the 1960s

Hello Hyperdose

MHLee:

Tiny Tim has a quote that goes something like "I'm the first has-been to ever play in the circus. Most artists play the circus then get famous."

Jan Turkenburg:

Besides clowns I hear some elephants passing by. At this moment I'm preparing tomorrow's playlist with Sabu the Elephant Boy a.o.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:34am
MHLee:

I was thinking about how proto-Spike Jones this one is

Jan Turkenburg:

Hey.... Stella Mayhew... that's somebody I ought to investigate as well
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:43am
MHLee:

See must have recorded a lot

Pipo de Clown!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:50am
Jan Turkenburg:

I have at least one album of him and Mamaloe.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:51am
MHLee:

I found he had a long-running tv show
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:51am
Jan Turkenburg:

Yes, I grew up with him
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:52am
Jan Turkenburg:

I might just digitize what I got of Pipo on vinyl today
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:53am
Jan Turkenburg:

There he is!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:53am
Jan Turkenburg:

Soundtrack of my early childhood.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:53am
MHLee:

It's not easy to find recordings of him on youtube. I'm not sure if this is the 1959 release or not.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:54am
Jan Turkenburg:

I think this must be from later

WR:

Taking break from the clowns at work for a taste of the clown music on Sheena's,
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:55am
Jan Turkenburg:

It's stereo and it's what I remember and we didn't get TV untill 1969
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:55am
MHLee:

I figured it was probably later. The\is show seems roughly equivalent in time frame to Captain Kangeroo in the US

Circus delights!

WR:

The kids laughing on the 3 stooges selection had an unusual loop sound.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 1:21am
WR:

Minus his "Tip Toe Through The Tulips" falsetto tune, the Tiny Tim medley sounds like something I would expect to hear on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Well should sleep and listen to the rest tomorrow.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:36am
WR:

Listened to the rest after my rest. Thank you.
