Thread Name: Who recorded Same Merrygoround?
Subject: Who recorded Same Merrygoround?
The song "It's The Same Same Merry Go Round" was written by Michael Loring (sp?) for the Wallace campaign in 1948. (I just this morning discovered a campaign button from that time in my stepfather's effects. Thrill!) It has been recently recorded by Rebel Voices in Seattle, but on his 9th Loafer's Glory program Utah Phillips played another recording, with a male voice and chorus, probably recorded in 1948. Likely the voice is Michael Loring's, but does anyone know for sure?
