🔥 A song about Trump’s visit to the UK. Very few songs are genius. This one is. Those lyrics are killer. Awesome work @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social

Here's a parody adaptation of the classic song "Walking in Memphis" by the soulful Marc Cohn, in which we address Donald Trump's arrival in the UK for his exciting historic second state visit. It's called "Put Up Some Fences" 🎹🎶 youtu.be/1Iag4yaozis?...

Some of us got the chance tonight to see a really special performance by @rhiannongiddens.bsky.social with Seckou Keita & Francesco Turrisi. Multiple instruments & styles, global connections & stories, and incredibly uplifting soundscapes that somehow both reflected and transcended history! 🎶❤️

This just made our day. We @firedbutfighting.bsky.social a group of illegally fired CDC staff and their allies appreciate this more than you will ever know. thank you for lending your talents to making this song and video. Not sure how you all did it straight faced.

Thanks to @firedbutfighting.bsky.social for sharing this gem. This is so much better than the Imperial March that has been playing in our heads for months.

Here's a short happy-go-lucky 🎶 parody about the way that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now collapsing American healthcare - based off #PaulSimon's toe-tapping "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard". youtu.be/FDiXrd-R68U It's called: "Measles and Polio Down in the Schoolyard."

We are calling this "Raise the Colours (or, The Ballad of Little Bobby Jenrick)" www.youtube.com/watch?v=87bY... It's a musical commentary on #raisethecolours, celebrating Robert Jenrick's latest social media antics, with a ukelele gradually going out of tune.

I LOVE this family! 🥰🥰🥰 True humanists through & through! This song of theirs is truly heartbreaking! 💔 #FreePalestine #EndTheGenocide @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social

Due to current developments as a reminder once again this song by @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social 👇 #Trump #Putin #Ukraine #Alaska 🌻🇺🇦🇪🇺

Lovely afternoon yesterday with @angelcakepie2.bsky.social & a fantastic warm crowd at #BroadstairsFolkWeek who joined in to sing in support of #Ukraine (see clip of #DontAbandonThem) - thanks to all who raised their voices. Still one ticket left for our last set on Thursday @3pm before a break! 🎶

Amazing vibe so far at #broadstairsfolkweek #broadstairsfolk60 A few tickets left here: - Tuesday 3pm at the Sailing Club with Morag Butler & supporting Angeline Morrison Music: broadstairsfolkweek.org.uk/.../folk-clu... - Thursday 3pm at Crampton Tower: broadstairsfolkweek.org.uk/event/concer...

Here's "The Game with the Names" - a home-made 🎶 parody of the legendary #ABBA song ("The Name of the Game"), but offering a satirical twist on the #Trump & #Epstein files story (so far) with a dose of disco lights and half-hearted hand gestures ... 🕺 youtu.be/Jjl6g2K9fsw

@marshfamilysongs.bsky.social we really enjoyed your set at The Anchor in Wingham this afternoon - it was so lovely to hear you live even if your Bread song brought me to tears! My how the children have grown thank you for a lovely afternoon of live music!

We stole a couple of nights from live gig prep to work up a final parody of the school year. So, prompted by Farage's stunt in the Channel last week, this one's called "Nigel Doesn't Care" and is a twist on the epic Bon Jovi track "Livin' on a Prayer". Have a great weekend 😎🎶 youtu.be/3gbd01c4Rcc

One day to go till #PlumptonFestival2025 (near Lewes, Sussex) - only a few dozen tickets left so grab 'em while you can, and excited to share a brilliant day of music and good vibes. We're kicking off the main acts at 13:00! 🎶 👉TICKETS: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/plumpton-m...

youtube.com/shorts/TnmV-... A lot of arguments about which covers & original songs get into the final set, but we're close - ONE WEEK out from the one-day family music festival hosted at Plumpton Racecourse (near Lewes, Sussex) - tickets here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/plumpton-m... #PlumptonFestival2025

This is an unkind/kind of a happy birthday song, which only makes sense if you know #Frozen & the troll song "Fixer Upper." So: niche. There are some rude words in our parody version, titled "F*&ker upper" (no kids were exposed/involved - don't ring in to complain 🫢) www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5nX...

You knew it was coming, but probably not the song choice? Here's "Irony" - a parody on Trump & Musk's feuding, based on "Agony" from the inimitable #Sondheim's fantastic #IntotheWoods. 🎶 Best version in our humble opinion was the original by Robert Westenberg & Chuck Wagner. youtu.be/R0mbD49MpuQ

Exactly ONE MONTH from today we play the first of several exciting live 🎶 sets this summer, at PLUMPTON MUSIC FESTIVAL. If you're local or fancy a trip, please come along and support us at one of them! All times and ticket details in our linktree: linktr.ee/marshfamilys.... Shout if any questions xx

Hard at work recording @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social new songs! #newmusic #studiolife

A song we adapted from "Iris" (Goo Goo Dolls) about seeing and acknowledging what's happening now, in Gaza. youtu.be/7OGcRQtorAM

We made a parody song about #PamBondi and the #Qatar #jet being the latest in a pretty sorry state of legal affairs at the #DoJ. It's based off the fantastic #NikKershaw and #ChesneyHawkes's "The One and Only" - though of course, Pam Bondi was really the number two choice. 😘🎶 youtu.be/yYfWkPekNTI

⚠️ Nearly every single child in Gaza is at risk of famine ⚠️ Since Israeli authorities imposed a total siege on 2 March 2025 nothing has been allowed to enter Gaza - no food, water, fuel, or medicine. This is a deliberate humanitarian catastrophe. Children are being starved by design. 1/4

Here’s a reflective mash-up of “White Cliffs of Dover” & “Over the Rainbow” we made about VE Day and where we’re at 80 years on. Dedicated to Great Grandad (DFC as an RAF pilot, 619 Squadron, Lancasters) - his favourite saying was "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance." youtu.be/xAZBpukSc2M

Here's an attempt at a little springtime Monday ♫ pick-me-up: an outdoors acoustic/percussive version of Simon & Garfunkel's uplifting "Cecilia" - complete with bluebells, birdsong, and two confused dogs wondering what the hell happened to their walk! youtu.be/m5gqrWlx_wQ?...

A couple more pics of the recent studio sessions with The Marsh Family #newmusic #recording

Here's a zero-gravity parody song about this week's coverage of #BlueOrigin's rocket launch. Sorry we forgot to turn the clicker off but we were more worried about getting the pitch (nearly) right. It's called "Flight from Earth" based on the anthemic #Firework by #KatyPerry 🎇🎶 youtu.be/YJF6NcwkZbc

Lol Watch this Love love love The Marsh Family Singers Pls follow them too @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social

Meet the mega-talented @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social, Faversham's premier political commentary source. And well worth a listen to their back catalogue, on a sunny Sunday afternoon! @kentandsurreybylines.co.uk www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DyN...

5 years ago ON THIS DAY, we shared our 1st parody - #onedaymore from #LesMis Many memories of being distraught, confused, scared & angry. But we're still arguing & singing. Sending ❤️ to those who faced loss & our enduring thanks to our protectors in those dark days www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbDP...

We made it into a musical roundup of WhiskeyLeaks #signalgate!

Here’s a song about #Signalgate – the flamboyant US security breach – adapted from one of our all-time fave Bee Gees songs, titled “You Were Not Supposed to Message it Through!” A quick turnaround, but only 5 of us as Alfie (really our best fake Bee Gee) is away 🔥👊💪🙏🎶 youtu.be/rPfwtXulKS4

This is "I Put Up Tariffs" 🎶- perhaps the first ever parody song (?) to make reference to the Smoot-Hawley Act of 1930. It's based on #BobMarley's legendary "I Shot the Sheriff" and sung from the point of view of #Trump, unleashing his frenzy of #tariffs on the USA & the world. youtu.be/_DyNjjSxO8s

Exactly 4 years ago today, we sang for the first time outside our own house - doing this adapted version of "Totally Fixed Where We Are" to a small but lovely BBC #ComicRelief crew (inc. @emmafreud & #richardcurtis). Seems like a lifetime ago and also yesterday! www.youtube.com/watch?v=coS5...

This is great Be sure to give @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social a follow www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvT3...

Puppets on a Kremlin String? 'You used to rule the world Choosing sides, being undeterred Now after Putin, in secret, phones In a week that world’s disowned!' #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦 @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social youtu.be/pvT3aQjLxdE?...

The brilliant musical satire of @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social on the recent lamentable performance of Putin’s puppets in the Whitehouse, playground bullies Trump and Vance. @addyspectreai.bsky.social @rachey.bsky.social @ghosted077.bsky.social youtu.be/pvT3aQjLxdE

youtu.be/pvT3aQjLxdE Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini #Dontabandonthem

A year today since #AlexeiNavalny was killed. So we're resharing our song in his memory, "Sit For The Road" ("Сядем На Дорожку") - the Russian tradition of stopping for a moment before journeys. "You're not allowed to give up" - Navalny. youtu.be/yXl40qeC5M4

The people of Europe stand with Ukraine against the threat of a false peace as much as brutal war. Because of our shared history. Because of our shared future. Because it is just. Because it is necessary. And because they deserve nothing less. Don't abandon them. #SlavaUkraini youtu.be/u8GftJEa4_8

Feels like a good time to re-air some European (musical) free speech. youtu.be/vYILYILPrXs

Here are a few colourful thoughts on AI in music (& other areas) - a crack at updating the Buggles’ magnificent “Video Killed the Radio Star” 👉 youtu.be/qDzFOl7ynNI?fe… In solidarity with others concerned by current 😩government proposals.

If anyone wishes to find our video on Hitler's 'socialism' to share/use/entertain/teach with, please find links below, with original explainer. Now is not the moment or the subject matter to sigh & give up on 🤐 Vimeo: vimeo.com/user16907314... Website: www.marshfamilysongs.com/marshfamilyh...

Gutted that YouTube have now refused our appeal, & deemed our song (about Adolf Hitler's complicated historical relationship to socialism) a violation of their hate speech policy. At the mo, it's still up on Twitter/X and Insta. TikTok version had to be emptied of visuals. Scary times for satire 😔

Earlier this month Alice Weidel, co-chair of the AfD party, described Hitler (in a chat to Elon Musk) as "a communist, socialist guy". So here's an adaptation of Prokofiev's 1930s "Dance of the Knights" that we're calling: "Hitler Was(n't) Socialist." Sources in vid here: youtu.be/YKYHTDCCDQ4

youtu.be/sRP4LCCcLcI A 🎶 quickfire Monday night song - parodying the @dollypartons.bsky.social classic "Here You Come Again" - but about the #Inauguration2025 speech, and the first claims made during the Return of The Donald... #TrumpInauguration #McKinleyReferences

BBC Verify has examined a 24 hour snapshot of Elon Musks timeline and found a wave of misinformation amplified in the posts. The BBC's Analysis editor examines one day on the platform for the owner of X www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

Hats off to @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social and sod off to Elon Musk. Here's a 🎶 parody of Leonard Cohen's "Bird on the Wire" about Musk's recent spate of diarrhoea tweets about the UK, called "Turd on a Wire" (with an attempted nod to the wonderful k.d. lang version ❤️). youtu.be/G_N4UmUjJeo
