Greatest hits and more:

Some of Merle’s most popular songs are “Inflation or Deflation?” and “H-E-D-G-E.”  “In the Hamptons” and “The Greek Debt Song” are favorites as well.

“Double Dippin’” and “The Ballad of Diamond Jim” are also popular.

Merle has sung a unique version an old gospel favorite, live at the 2010 American Economic Association convention, in this clip:  “Old Time Recession.”

He has also done some songs on the Eurozone crisis for PBS. And “Legal Tender” is to the tune of the same old 1860s melody that Elvis used for “Love Me Tender.”

Rounding out Merle’s releases are the banking parable “Mark to Market,” “Bailout,” and an animated environmental number, “Green with Envy.”

Merle has written a few songs that he has not done videos for, including a pretty decent one about a mismatched love affair between a country singer and a PhD physicist.  Check the “Extras” page for those.

Merle recommends that you check out the work of his musical collaborators, Mr. Curtis Threadneedle and Marcy Shaffer.
