Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from January 24, 2025

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.

	8:21am MHLee: There's a Bob Kerr version from the 80s
	8:50am Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "The Flying Saucer" by "Mundell Lowe and His Guitars" ou're right, I could easily hear this as a snatch of incicental music, partticularly from a Terrytoon.
	8:52am MHLee: ↳ Listener Robert @8:50 It sounds like a Ren and Stimpy bit of production music.
	8:52am Listener Robert: Terrytoons have often been jazzy like that.
	8:53am Listener Robert: ↳ MHLee @8:52 Exactly! Weren't they done by at least some of the Terry people?
	8:54am MHLee: ↳ Listener Robert @8:53 Quite possible
