Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from October 6, 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.

There's a Dutch language version of this (and modelled after this arrangement) 'De Boerderij' www.discogs.com...

And I'm pretty sure the whole piece is a response to the song Misery Farm

Yes, much better, what a difference! Still a bit too fragile to work at the thriftstore, though. But I've been preparing for next week's shows all morning again :-)

the premise is that a contract killer ends up taking Acting Classes. Winkler plays the self important Acting Teacher/Coach. it is rather intense and wickedly funny.

according to this, Sarony only wrote Jollity, though he did perform Misery with Al Bowley
