	👻 8:23am WR: ↳ Song: "Is 'E An Aussie Lizzie Is 'E" by "Flotsam & Jetsam" www.elsewhere.co.nz... The lyrics & some info on the performers.
	8:24am DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WR @8:23 That's wonderful - thank you! :-) Rhyming "well-born" with "Melbourne" was a genius move for me :-)

	8:26am DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WR @8:25 I thoroughly enjoyed that one! :-)
	8:31am DJ GeorgyGirl: From Wiki: "Adolphus Herbert Frederick Norman Appleroth, known as Bert Appleroth, was a tram conductor who created jelly crystals using gelatine and sugar in his bath. He sold these jelly crystals door-to-door, using his tram route to transport him around Sydney. In 1917, Appleroth rented premises to manufacture his jelly, then formed a company with Albert Francis Lenertz named Traders Pty Ltd in 1927. Planes were considered new and exciting at the time, so aviation fan Appleroth named the brand Aeroplane Jelly. Appleroth used a Tiger Moth plane to make deliveries to rural areas in 1934, and his publicity stunts and Aeroplane Jelly's advertising campaigns made the jelly a national icon, like Holden and Vegemite."
	8:36am DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Pub With No Bear" by "Rob Leereveld" A pub with no beer = English Existential Dread ;-)
	8:39am DJ GeorgyGirl: So says the unofficial Australian National Anthem: Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a Coolibah tree And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled "You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me" :-)
	👻 8:42am WR: ↳ Song: "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" by "Ray Stevens" I very much liked the Tie Me Kangaroo song when I heard it on the radio in the 60s. 12 year old me never caught on to the verse later avoided due to derogatory reference to aboriginals.
	8:45am DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WR @8:42 I'm pleased that Mason is playing this rather than The Person Who We'd Rather Forget, too
	👻 8:45am WR: ↳ Song: "Sista Donna" by "Ragtone Ramblers" I like that customized washboard.
	8:46am DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WR @8:45 I'm intrigued by what looks like the little metal fish at the bottom :-)
	8:46am DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Sista Donna" by "Ragtone Ramblers" Is the metal fish a mousse mould? :-) (Mold? Mould? One of the two)
	8:48am DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" by "Ray Stevens" As a Brit, even a cover is giving me hives :-(
	8:48am DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" by "Ray Stevens" Kudos to Ray for the passable Aussie accent tho!
	8:54am DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Waltzing Matilda" by "The Merry Singers" I love this illustration <3
	8:55am DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you for a wonderful show, Mason! <3

Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from July 28, 2023

View MHLee's profile

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

Joy King	Aeroplane Jelly "Aeroplane Jelly" by "Joy King"	1938	"John Dunne, a 2SM presenter and studio manager, is believed to have conducted the 2SM orchestra for the recording of the jingle. Dunne brought in ideas from America for the station and was keen to link advertisers with talent quests. The violin solo towards the end of the tune is performed by prize-winner Betty Elsa Gillas (later Rofe) who had won first prize on Uncle Tom’s Amateur Hour, a talent quest children’s program presented on 2SM by John Dunne. Seven-year-old Joy King won a state-wide competition in New South Wales to sing the 'Aeroplane Jelly Song’. The tune is undeniably catchy, though its recognition factor was probably helped by the longevity of the advertising campaign and the frequency of the broadcast. A big part of the recording’s appeal is down to Joy’s charming and plaintive delivery of the simple lyrics. And in case you were wondering what aeroplanes have to do with jelly, the lyrics provide the answer: 'The quality’s high as the name will imply’. So now you know!" https://aso.gov.au/titles/ads/aeroplane-jelly-song/clip1/
