A Love For Old Music - The Merry Macs

 

Here's musicians that are perfectly great for obvious reasons. These group of people are called The Merry Macs. Ever since I listened to their first song that being the iconic Mairzy Doats, I immediately loved their singing style. 

Their songs fit into the genre of "novelty" music. They were the best back in the 40s. I listened to some of their songs today and I loved all of them. It's pretty rare footage so I hope you enjoy these clips. 

You can tell that was a quick one, but I can't help to say it rocks. These people look normal, confident and a pleasure to be singing with a packed audience. Their abilities to pull off something that quickly but sharp and groovy makes it the whole thing entertaining. I also like how they have one girl instead of being the titular male quartet or female group much like The Andrews Sisters even though their amazing. 

These type of people are so fascinating and captivating to the soul that it actually makes you feel good and not feel depressed. It just sounds sweet and engaging.

It's so weird to see that this is all still early for cinema and sound editing in particular. People had a strong bonding with creativity and art back then. 

Back then radio, television and movie theatres was the common way to experience media and let's just say that's for the best. 

I'm sensing the news is still spreading all the people scrolling on TikTok. 

It's getting to the point that most of the population that use either YouTube Shorts or TikTok don't have reasonable skills or practicality. It's there so that people are more on the screens than anything else. It would be more sensible if they actually found something their actually interested to on their phones.

The Merry Macs fits into that music genre I like best. They have rhythm, yet it's not too fast neither slow it's average without being too unlikeable. 

I feel that way with songs like Red Foley's Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy, there's alot of smooth beats and natural singing involved. 

Here's another one of their live performing hits. 

Nobody not even in a group sings like this anymore. It's truly tragic. 2020s so far has been like the dark age decade. Both Sesame Street and Looney Tunes were shelved by Max, and there seems to be more adult oriented shows and movies. 

I remember decades like the 90s-2000s brought back that charming and likeable ability they had with realistic content. Spongebob, Ren and Stimpy, Animaniacs, bringing back old classics on VHS/DVD or fast food toys, nowadays it all feels minimalistic and depressing, not saying that all of it is but I could beg for more effort. Effort isn't as hard and long as it should be even if that masterwork takes weeks, months or years, you still are strong and capable to do difficult challenging things for a passion that most people don't seem to care about but try to not listen to them. Their are many kind people in the world who are smart and will choose the right thing. 

Merry Macs is what I like in music. I'm easily invested in music like this because it sounds energetic, normal and casual. Nobody is shouting a bunch of trashy swear words. It's all fun and pleasent. If you found any of the songs I listed sound good and mesmerizing to you, go ahead and check out their other stuff. They are an amazing group.
