Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from June 28, 2024 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 (EDT) | On WFMU's Sheena's Jungle Room

Many years ago I was on a bus travelling through the general Heathrow Airport area of London. We passed a building called "Stoic House" which made me giggle.

How can a house be anything BUT stoic? ;-)

There just aren't enough songs about prostitutes with VD these days. ;-)

Ah! George Melly was one of the great British eccentrics!
Jazz man, writer, presenter, raconteur, and all-round fabulous person. He was a mainstay on UK TV for decades and was always good fun :-)

↳ Song: "Tutti Frutti" by "Mel Tormé"
I recently bought 3 books written by Torme. A bio of Buddy Rich, an exploration of singers he learned from (Louie, Billie, Bing, Fred, Ethel, Nat, and more), and the story of his collaboration with Judy Garland for her TV show.

MHLee:

@WR I didnt know about the collab

Little Richard was certainly no stranger to THAT ;-)

@DJ GeorgyGirl you should see what happens when i try to pronounce french dungeonsynth
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:38am

Wow - Mel Tormé was actually his birth name, which for a man at that time of Jewish extraction was pretty rare.

That's me and Welsh. Lol.
Or Italian, to be fair :-)

Welsh occasionally appears as well , band called Mari Lwyd for example
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:41am
DJ GeorgyGirl:

My ex was from South Wales and he said you have to be born with a Welsh mouth to pronounce anything. Lol
  8:41am
MHLee:

Speaking of Italian
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:44am
DJ GeorgyGirl:

↳ MHLee @8:40
Ah! Now that one I'm guessing is a take on Marie Lloyd, the old Music Hall star. Y is an "i" sound in Welsh and I'm guessing the W is somewhere in the neighbourhood of an "o"? :-)

So, in Welsh Cardiff is "Caerdydd" - pronounced "K-eye-er-deeth" :-)
That much I know and that's about it Lol

Apart from the Welsh for a microwave is "poppity-ping" which always makes me laugh.
And a jellyfish in Welsh is a "pescoid wibbly-wobbly"! :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:45am
DJ GeorgyGirl:

And the Welsh for ironing is "smoothio" :-)

MHLee:

@DJ GeorgyGirl oh it's actually the welsh singing christmas horse skeleton and it seems to be pronounce almost like the us state

His mimic / collage of languages other than English radio announcer with the sudden "Broadway Street" in the middle of the flow. I'm going to be listening to that on repeat a few times. Rapid flow of languages real and unreal.
