Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from September 13, 2024

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.

	♥ 8:05am MHLee: Hi Wr!
	♥ 8:08am MHLee: ↳ Song: "Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah" by "Conee Boswell and Bob Cros... One thing I found is a lot of these disney songs have very low quality or boring covers. This was a better on for that song
	♥ 8:10am WR: ↳ Song: "Davy Crockett Mambo" by "Irving Fields Trio" Fun version of the Davey Crockett song. My brothers & I all had DC "coonskin' hats.
	♥ 8:11am MHLee: ↳ WR @8:10 I had one too. I know the song but never saw the origin
	♥ 8:11am MHLee: ↳ Song: "The Walrus And The Carpenter" by "Danny Kaye" It's trying to become the merry go round broke down
	♥ 8:12am MHLee: ↳ Song: "The Walrus And The Carpenter" by "Danny Kaye" It says on the record Featured in Walt Disney Film 'Alice in Wonderland') but I don't remember it sounding remotely like this
	♥ 8:18am MHLee: ↳ Song: "When I See an Elephant Fly" by "Ned Washington, O... Apparently, the singing band is the Hall Johnson Choir... and all black group
	♥ 8:31am WR: ↳ MHLee @8:18 Yes, tge Wikipedia page lists the black Crow singers.
	♥ 8:35am WR: ↳ Song: "When I See an Elephant Fly" by "Ned Washington, O... Washington and Wallace were the composers?
	♥ 8:36am MHLee: ↳ WR @8:35 The thing that I notice now, having listened to a lot of 1940s black quartets, is it's pretty typical of the era. Yes.
	♥ 8:39am MHLee: I think it has several things against it. The Crows as drawn and portrayed outside of the song really look like minstrels. It's not a song that Black writers wrote in the jive they use like Fats Waller did... and naming the white crow Jim Crow and using him as the lead...
	♥ 8:40am MHLee: But it would probably be unremarkable if it was just a 78 without the movie
	♥ 8:47am WR: ↳ Song: "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" by "Al Jazzbo C... Fun and cute jive.
	♥ 8:48am MHLee: ↳ WR @8:47 Yeah, I found this beatnik snow white parody and had to play it
	♥ 8:52am WR: ↳ Song: "I've Got No Strings" by "Company B Jazz Band" Thought thus was a contemporanious very. Singers and band do that swing thing quite well.
	♥ 8:53am MHLee: ↳ Song: "Sooner or later (you're gonna be comin' around)" ... This is a great song that apparently was written for Song of the South
	♥ 8:55am MHLee: The sheet music is about love in the movie it ended up about cooking
	♥ 8:58am WR: Thank you! Great episode!
