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.

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

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

I know this song in Afrikaans: 'Suikerbossie 'k sal jou hè'

'suikerbossie' referring to the same thing as 'big bamboo/sugar cane'
