Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from December 22, 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.

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

They totally fooled me with the cover. Thought it was a 50s thing at first glance.

The Baby Jane song was a Frank de Vol soundtrack for the movie (which I've never seen).

And what was the next bit? An Irishman? For a moment I thought the whole skit was going to be a series of culture stereotypes but it was just the two.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:50am
MHLee:

I think a starnge thing with that introduction is anyone of them would be fine... they all directly imply the song is going to start now but instead jump to another intorduction
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:51am
MHLee:

↳ WR @8:48
The next one might have been Irish but didn't really have the twee accent they usually do for that... sounded more like the anthill gang on the line to me
