The Marsh Family

📣“1. We are the people.
2. We won’t be silenced.
3. Stop the fascists, now.” 📣

An honour to stand & express solidarity alongside hundreds of fellow residents in #Faversham, & successfully block the route of a few dozen “Patriots” who bottled it and crawled off to social media.

YouTube video by Marsh Family "Freedom of Speech" - Marsh Family parody of "Under the Sea" from Disney's "The Little Mermaid"

In some ways, an oddly upbeat vibe, for a musical rundown of the backsliding #freespeech situation developing in the US ... but this is our 🎵 parody "Freedom of Speech" to the tune of #Disney's "Under the Sea" - with some familiar faces cut in. 😎

YouTube video by Marsh Family "Put Up Some Fences" - Marsh Family parody of "Walking in Memphis" about Donald Trump UK State Visit

🔥 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

YouTube video by Marsh Family "Put Up Some Fences" - Marsh Family parody of "Walking in Memphis" about Donald Trump UK State Visit

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" 🎹🎶

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! 🎶❤️

Thanks guys - keep up the good fight & so sorry that you’ve been put in these positions. Sending solidarity xx 🙌🎶❤️

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.

YouTube video by Marsh Family "Measles and Polio Down in the Schoolyard" - Marsh Family parody of Paul Simon "Me and Julio" on RFK

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."

YouTube video by Marsh Family "Raise the Colours (or, The Ballad of Little Bobby Jenrick)" - original song by The Marsh Family

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.

YouTube video by Marsh Family "Gaza" - adaptation by the Marsh Family of "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls, on the occupation of Gaza

I LOVE this family!

🥰🥰🥰

True humanists through & through!

This song of theirs is truly heartbreaking! 💔

YouTube video by Marsh Family "The Game with the Names" - Marsh Family parody of ABBA "The Name of the Game" on Trump and Epstein

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

Thanks so much for being with us, and glad you enjoyed it! We loved playing our first proper set in a pub that supports live music - and it was amazing to have such local support! x

@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!

YouTube video by Marsh Family "Nigel Doesn't Care" - Marsh Family parody of "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi about Nigel Farage

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 😎🎶

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...

YouTube video by Marsh Family "F*&ker Upper" - Marsh Family parody of "Fixer Upper" from Frozen to mark Donald Trump's birthday

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...

It was suddenly permitted as quickly as it had been banned. We went through all the officials appeals process, and were repeatedly rejected, with no further information. And then magically it was released with also no explanation. Maybe we eventually reached a human? Or there was concern about press

YouTube video by Marsh Family "Irony" - Marsh Family parody of "Agony" from Sondheim's "Into the Woods" about Donald Trump vs Musk

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.

YouTube video by Marsh Family "Gaza" - adaptation by the Marsh Family of "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls, on the occupation of Gaza

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

YouTube video by Marsh Family "Pamela Bondi" - Marsh Family parody of "The One and Only" sung by Chesney Hawkes (by Nik Kershaw)

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. 😘🎶

⚠️ 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.
