Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from May 31, 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.

I was listening to an “1890s” playlist earlier, none of the songs were from the 1890s Ironically

That’s true, it was mostly late 1910’s-early 20s, but most kids can’t tell the difference

I pay attention to years, once I was watching I movie set in 1964, but in the background they were playing a song that didn’t come out til ‘67

↳ Song: "Where Did You Get That Hat?" by "Uncle Ant"
that sounded very similar to a Kevin Ayers song.

I spent about $50 Once on a bucket hat, it shrank, it wasn’t worth it :(

the Ayers tune was probably derived from the same or a similar music hall song.

I saw a guy at a show last week that had a bowler hat, old-timey formal suit, and an impressive mustache. All that was missing was a cane (it was an experimental music show, adding to the dissonance)

↳ Song: "A Straw Hat and A Cane" by "Johnny Desmond"
surprised to see sheet music for this. By this date I would have thought only major hits or show tunes having sheet music published.

Relatable

The sheet music also seems to be from before the hit. Thought it was odd too

"Highlights of 20th Century Music (1899-1972)" odd

Musicman1918 has uploaded lots to archive.org. change the filter on the link I sent from "whitburn" to highlights and you see another series.

Much of it was uploaded to archive org by others but Musicman1918 grouped the tunes in thematic comps.

I’d love to make compilations as a career, I make compilation tapes as a hobby right now

WR:

↳ MHLee @8:40
that is a series of videos with historical photos and art behind the music. There is narration but from what I've watched the songs are played in full without talk over. Also for the highlights series he has music only comps uploaded.
