Happy #4thJuly to our friends & supporters in the USA. To mark the 250th anniversary we've re-adapted the British popular 18th-century song "The Anacreontic Song" (later the US anthem #StarSpangledBanner) to reflect on how it's going. Downloadable: shorturl.at/XluJK ❤️🇺🇸🎶 youtu.be/eQ67oapo-To

This is our adaptation of the late, great, Clarence Carter's heart-wrenching ballad "Patches" from 1970. Our parody version "Scratches" is a bit more light-hearted, and treats the swampy topic of #Trump's #algae-ridden #ReflectingPool. 🟩🎶🦆 youtu.be/8vtEChrNtfI

Today's the 10th anniversary of Brexit, one of the most disastrous political events in our lifetime, so since the usual bellends are out celebrating it, we’ve pulled together a quick acoustic parody called “Brexit Epiphanies” based on "Breakfast at Tiffany's" #Brexit #RejoinEU youtu.be/U0WwEinkJ1I

Here's a parody of the Looking Glass 1972 belter "Brandy" that we've adapted to fit today's #Labour headlines with whoever was home to sing about #Starmer and #Burnham - calling it "Andy (You're a Fine Mayor!)" 🎵 youtu.be/mx7G9-wZZZE

"Yankee Doodle" was a ditty (Roud 4501) that predated the American Revolution & was adapted by both British and Americans to mock one another. To mark the 250th anniversary, Trump birthday & #NoKings protest we've made a 2026 arrangement, where you can find the lyrics: themarshfamily.bandcamp.com 🎶

There were two tiers of possible response to the express wishes of Henry Nowak's dignified family in the light of his traumatic murder. One humane and empathetic, the other inhumane and exploitative. This version of "Lyin' Eyes" (Eagles) is for JD Vance and those in the second. youtu.be/2J95CTmZUUM
