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

"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 🎶

Break up the biggest insurance companies Require all cash purchases apply to deductibles Require all drugs to be sold at net so prices paid during your deductible could be cut in half Require all independent physicians and nurses get a big raise
Hey Mark! If you could wave a wand and do just three things to lower the cost of health care, what would those be? Rein in PBMs I assume would be one. What would the other two be?

We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️ youtu.be/BRHxXHZmVAM

Huge happy 80th birthday this week to the legendary #DollyParton 🎉- we are marking it with a parody of her 2nd number 1 hit, written by the #BeeGees. Our 🎶 version's called "Donald's Sewage Stream" - since he brought his sick drivel to #Europe #Davos #NATO & our #armedforces: youtu.be/F4nefIN4_LY

ICE just killed another person in Minneapolis. This is absolutely sickening. Donald Trump needs to get his unqualified, untrained, violent agents the hell out of Minnesota IMMEDIATELY.
BREAKING: Federal officers have shot another person in Minneapolis amid the immigration crackdown, Gov. Tim Walz says.

This is our parody of "Piece of My Heart" by the amazing soulful Erma Franklin. Our version addresses the situation unfolding with #Trump and #Greenland, & has rude words - it's called "Piece of Denmark". In solidarity with all fellow Europeans facing tariffs and trauma. #25th youtu.be/jSDIkpwlqsA

"Battle Hymn of the Republic" is not a song to be taken on lightly ... but in light of this New Year Trumpian news onslaught, we're sharing this adaptation, called "Battle Hymn of the Empire" - as Trump goes marching on, and dragging us all back to the nineteenth century. youtu.be/8saU0WeocP0

I present the lovely Marsh family.
It's been a full-on race against the festive 🕰️ to get sorted - but the amazing folk at RG Studios, Square Stone Media & East Kent Hospitals Charity have pulled out all the stops - and we'll be sharing the premiere of the music video of #Keepingthedreamalive @ 9.00pm UK TONIGHT: youtu.be/vWbs1k5vsQc

What do you get when you mix the best selling single of the king of pop with the lately departed queen of MAGA? This is what we get: a parody of Billie Jean about #mtg #maga #marjorietaylorgreene 🎶🕺 youtu.be/Xr0_HN9KNCs

Here's "Trump'll Nail Ya" - a song about the #BBC legal crisis (set to the tune of the shanty "Drunken Sailor") which created a big internal debate about what's a gremlin and what's a mogwai. 🎶⚓️ ... fingers crossed for an apology but not a daft and unnecessary settlement ... youtu.be/VeIF4leMaes

I wonder if TrumpRX is intended as a direct assault on @mcuban.bsky.social and his CostPlus company?
