Such a sad and hopeless song.  :'(

Proof that Roger Miller was a brilliant songwriter. Despite being known mostly for novelty songs ("Dang Me", "Chug-a-Lug", "King of the Road", etc.), he could write a great serious song when he wanted to (see also "Old Toy Trains", which was written for his then 2-year-old son). This was written for the 1985 musical Big River, which is based on the classic novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It's been recorded by several artists, including Glenn Campbell and Merle Haggard, and seems to be the best remembered song from the musical.

Eight year old Stevie Mulrooney stole the show Sunday singing the Irish " rugby " National Anthem ahead of the Six Nations between Ireland and Italy to an audience of thousands...

Unusual recent find... A medley of a 1940s polka tune and a 1980s metal song (also done polka style).


Oldiesmann

And more craziness from the Chardon Polka Band. "Amazing Grace" set to the tune of "The Happy Wanderer", complete with yodeling. Not the strangest thing on this album though (I think that would be the polka version of "How Great Thou Art"...).

Rick :eat: - You should be ashamed of yourself!  :tickedoff: 
Time out in the corner, until you can behave!   :peepwall:

Oldiesmann

Maybe you'd prefer this classic? Unfortunately I can't embed the actual music video here ("Playback on other websites has been disabled by the uploader") but here's the actual music.

Marilyne

Michael - you can join Rick in the Time-out corner!    :peepwall: 

Oldiesmann

Not a fan of food-themed songs Marilyne?

Yes, Michael - I am a fan of food themed songs!   Here's my favorite.
The Hamburger Song.

Rick  - Yes,  you and Michael are now out on parole!   No more chicken nuggets or any songs by Weird Al!   I promise no more hamburgers!   

Oldiesmann

How about A Chick-fil-A themed parody of "God Bless The USA"? (The "old one" he mentions is called "Chick-Fil-A" and is set to the tune of "Yesterday" by The Beatles)

If you ever watched The Price is Right, you should recognize part of this...

A great rendition of a classic folk song from a German-produced Scottish music show featuring Scottish folk singer Maeve MacKinnon.

Marilyne

Michael, I love that rendition of Loch Lomond!  Best video you've ever posted!   :thumbup:

I think this will touch at your heartstrings...Big Tom & Margo..


Tomereader1

Oh, yes Michael, the Loch Lomond was awesome.  Thank you!

Oldiesmann

Europe's famous "The Final Countdown" done with recorder, lute, tambourine and other medieval-style instruments. This guy has apparently been doing this sort of thing since 2017 and this style of music (pop songs done medieval-style) is now known as "bardcore".


Marilyne

Jackie,  That was a very sweet video!  I really enjoyed listening to Margo singing this song to Tom.  He was pretty good too.  I'm wondering how old they are now?

Vanilla-Jackie

Big Tom McBride passed 2018, Margo ( O'Donnell ) is the sister of Daniel O'Donnell, and she is still with us...

A fun soundalike version of "Hearts of Stone", though this is more country than pop. This was a big hit for The Fontane Sisters in 1954 or 1955. This version was released on one of the many budget labels that existed at the time - they hired studio or other unknown artists to sing hit songs that sounded similar to the hit versions but their versions were priced lower since the artists singing were basically unknown. Some of these were surprisingly good.


Oldiesmann

Lawrence Welk pokes fun at hippies and modern music in 1969. Also one of the few times he spoke without his signature accent. Sound quality isn't great but this is hilarious.
