Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from June 3, 2022 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.

Frank Yankovic, originally from Davis, WV his family eventually moved to Ohio... I think it was an illegal alcohol offense... moved to Cicinattti where he became reknown as a master of the Slovenian style polka

Hello Jan.

I know this song in Afrikaans: 'Suikerbossie 'k sal jou hè'
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:27am
Jan Turkenburg:

'suikerbossie' referring to the same thing as 'big bamboo/sugar cane'
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:27am

Willeke and I had it on our repertoire as De Zwervende Keien

I've got a parody of it in Klezmer somewhere...

I would like to hear that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:31am

I'll have to work it into a klezmer show. I have a lot of fun songs from the collaborations of Psoy and Daniel Kahn.
