"House of So Much Fun" - Marsh Family adaptation of "Rising Sun Blues" (House of the Rising Sun)

- As some of you who follow us on Patreon or Facebook already know, we had an amazing opportunity at the end of the summer - at the invitation of Experience Kissimmee - to take the kids on their first ever long-haul flight and enjoy a week's vacation in Florida, in the Vacation Home Capital of the World®. We had an incredible time, visiting amazing sites, enjoying US-style hospitality and food, and doing the kind of stuff we relish on vacation - outdoors, nature, exciting days and trips, and just spending time together to make memories and learn about new places and people. It's always those bits in between that stick in family folklore: the pool alarm, the car doors, the bad songs on the playlist, the size of the breakfast fruit, Tess dancing on a carpet because for the first time in her life she had a room to herself for seven nights.
This song was written to reflect the experiences we had on holiday - an adaptation of "House of the Rising Sun" or its original folk title, "Rising Sun Blues". We were slightly surprised that our hosts, Experience Kissimmee, were happy for us to riff on a song about someone down-at-their-heels in Louisiana, but we quickly realised that's because they 'get' us and see things very similarly - that making the best of life is about finding fun, and having a laugh, and choosing to collaborate and build experiences around sunshine and fresh air and music. We'd like to give a huge shout out to all those venues that we got to visit around Kissimmee and Orlando - so you might spot footage (or references to) Wild Florida, Jeeves Florida Rentals, Universal Orlando Resort™ (our first ever theme park!), Gatorland, the Paddling Center (at the tranquil Shingle Creek), and the Island H20 Water Park. We feel like we only scratched the surface in our time there, and the kids are now determined to get back to the USA as soon as they can! We'll post some more pictures in the Community pages if people are interested.
Huge thanks to Juliana, Nick and the whole team - with special mention to Keri who came with us on several of our adventures to see alligators, and to Jo who first reached out to us in the dark COVID days of April 2020, when travel of any kind seemed like a tantalising dream, and suggested the idea. And lastly thanks to our lovely friend Sarah and her dad who looked after the cats for us while we were away in August!

I'm from Gernany and also have to thank you very much for the great lyrics. Kamala will give hope also for us europeans. I hope your song will go viral to all americans.
Wonderful!!!
Mum. "I wish we'd left the children."
Giggle. 😉
That has to be one of my favorite lines. 😉
Then again. "While pretending we're not their sons" was a really good counterattack. 😉
Wasn't it though? Really typical for teens but was perfect in this context!
Love it❤❤❤
all the kids voices are maturing so so so much, just fantastic, think you could all be singers in your own right but then family is whats important, and your harmonies are just spinechilling. Tess is growing up before our eyes, as they all are, love this adaptation, of one of my favourite songs, miss the poppy curtains though.😉
We took our late-teenage children to Anna-Marie Island off the coast of Florida for the millennium; best and last “everybody there” family holiday we had. They have families of their own now. Happy days. Fond memories.
The notes Ella hits at 1:26 are amazing 🤩
2:20. I feel you. I just got back from the keys with my sister and my two young granddaughters.
We're going back in a couple of weeks without those lil booger pickers. Hehehehe
Hope you all had an amazing time after all you helped keep me and many many others sane ... much love and respect 💜💙❤
Without exception, every member of this family has been blessed with superb singing voices, a sense of rhythm and presence. I am as jealous as hell that so much talent Bestowed to one family. Which is not the same as overlooking the work which goes into each video.
Good fun in the New World….whilst I was on holiday in Old World Spain‼️✈️
Love it.
Kissimmee is the name of a real town in south Florida. Kiss me was its original name. Btw, I'm listening watching from Taiwan, and it just struck me, the Marsh Family is the new von Trapp Singers from the Sound of Music movie with Julie Andrews complete with mom dad and the von Marsh singer kids! Mazel tov.
So happy for you all. You have made so many people happy over the last several years.
An interesting way of sending a holiday postcard and of course a much better way of saying „ come round and we can show you our holiday snaps“
🤣🤣🤣 Yet Again, Brilliant 👏👏👏 memories of our holiday in 2000(-ish).
Thanks for sharing your holiday with us in spectacular fashion as usual. You guys are incredible 👏🏼
It's always such a delight to see this beautiful family enjoying life, and I'm so grateful that they willingly present their talents for us.
Yet another classic from this talented family
the number of tourists in kissimmee will be booming after this video 😂
321 ... lol
Y’all are always amazing on all the levels
I can’t believe how you just keep on giving and giving and giving………………brilliant song, as if we’d expect anything else! So happy for you. Looks like an amazing, and very well deserved, holiday. All the best to you all xxx
What a brilliant way of documenting your holiday, very cleverly done. As ever I run out of superlatives to complement your talents. 👍😀👏🥰
This song is so much better for the dad's voice than the other song I just heard, the first of theirs I've heard.
It was the song about inflation.
Fun to see where you were and what you did. And yay to having a room to yourself, Tess.
Ella, I think, perhaps, this is your best vocal performance to-date! You've grown in confidence, and your vocal
skills are fantastic! Great job! Everyone else-yeah, I guess you were okay... oh, alright, you're all AMAZING!! More, please!!
When I saw all that American food, and driving on the US side of the car - I knew you were in the US! What a trip!
How exciting for you to come and see Universal Studios I loved it myself when I was there I have so much fun thank you again for wonderful song God bless you and your family
Great that you had a trip overseas as a family!
What a fantastic holiday. A perfect adventure for the kids first long haul. And a clever use of a great song.
Marvellous as ever Marsh Family, thank you for allowing us in to your family
Brilliant. Just Brilliant
Wow, you were just down the road from me here is West Palm Beach. Looks like you got to see it all, safe travels.
Now my four children are grown up I yearn for this type of family holiday. Why do they grow up so fast.
Much more enjoyable than scrolling through endless holiday snaps! x
Great video, great voices, great lyrics! Love that the boys still sing so well despite their voices breaking - unbelievable!!!
Wonderful song. Glad you had a great holiday. I hope sharing this was fun and not a chore on your holiday as you definitely deserved something for yourselves
❤They are all FABULOUS
Great song marsh family thank for entertaining us even when your on holiday
Looks like it was a great holiday! 😎🏖️
Brilliant 🍔🐊🌴🌞🚣🏼♀️🏊🏼♂️🥁🎼✈️
Just watched this again. It's hard to choose a favourite member of the Marsh Family, but I do have favourites in some songs. In this one it's definitely Ella.
You are ALL very Talented..
😂😂😂 That was a great video, and I'm glad you enjoyed the States
Fantastic!
Well done! Very entertaining.
Thanks so much for capturing and sharing your holiday fun with us all. You certainly packed a lot into your week long break, and clearly enjoyed it. I love the tongue-in-cheek lyrics and sideways glances between you from time to time; you project a real family, real personalities, not some idealised version, through your musical talent and now acting and stage presence. Like many others, your songs and postings are a very welcome pleasure in these rather beak times politically and economically; we've got to know you all, just like friends, yet we've never met. Thanks again guys!
Wow. So good in so many ways.
"Now Ella's scared of gators
Tess of fast machines"
Good thinking, girls.
Those things can be kind of scary.
😨😰😱
Looks like you had a nice holiday and made a fun song about it!
It’s wonderful that you had a lovely holiday, you absolutely deserved it. Xxx
👏 👏 👏 👏 brilliant
I bet the local tourist information board would love this song and video 😎
They even show the holiday home's address in the final frame! The Florida Tourist Board are probably happy.
Looks like a real holiday - well deserved
Thank Q for the GOOD Music. The World is WATCHing.
That bought back lovely memories of a long ago trip to Kissimmee ❤️ love the song too. Glad you had a good holiday 👌
Tune fits perfect with the way things are going around Kissimmee. Hahahaha
Brilliant as always. Fab harmonies. Always fun to be had in Florida
As long as you don’t live there, knowing hurricanes are coming but the governor is much more concerned with banning books, censoring education and scaring Black people out of peaceful demonstrations or even voting… must be great 🤦♀️
Impressed with the song and the amount of planning that went into the production. Thank you
glad you missed the hurricanes.
Well done Family Marsh, another superb parody to keep me smiling for the next few hours. Too many fantastic lines to pick out a favourite :-)
Daium - amazing cover - and it seems like you folks did have a GREAT holiday! Very happy for you folks - hope next holiday is even better! :)
Never been there ... never even knew this place existed! Anyway, a great vid, thanks for sharing
You deserved a ‘cool’ break after all the joy you have brought us! Another gem. Thank you.
Awesome 😁
Good job…so happy you got to get away. Love this video.
One of their best. I'm sure they had a lot of rehearsing because they were tight. Congrats to them all.
A holiday song. Very cool guys
Brilliant thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed Florida
Awesome! Clever to reference the Animals at 2.45. Their original was a fave in my youth. Well done guys.
working even on holiday! Awesome as always, thank you!!!
Please be king to the kids as they get to choose your care home , so make some more and save the money . Great fun to see all taking part .😉
Some people just bore you with their holiday snaps!
Danke!
I really, really like the original song you based that on. And it really, really, like what you done with it.
Beautiful. Tears in the eyes beautiful.
I have to tell you that you have created an ear worm 😱😱. " there is a house in kissimmee. There is a house......". Thanks guys 🤣🤣
Great voices!
Excellent - takes me back to a family trip to Kissimmee about 15 years ago!
You guys are the best, once again!!
Absolutely loved it
Brilliant 👍
Bravo.👏
Even singing on holiday! Another fab video. 🎉🎉🎉
Lovely ❤
Really happy for you that you had a fabulous time. You deserve it after your wonderful music has brightened so many people's lives.
So glad the hurricane missed you guys!
Great video, great song and fun to see your holiday. Boy have the kid's grown. You guys are so talented and put a smile on my face as well as others
Once again and as always, that was amazing. Great song to sing as a parody with your own lyrics . I loved it. And everyone's voices just keep getting better.
You guys could totally win AGT.
Awesome! Loved it!
Great rendition
It is so good that you had a chance to visit Florida on Holiday and hope that you can visit the U.S. again. There are some wonderful places here to visit. Your adaptation of "House of the Rising Sun" sounds great!
Enjoy the break and sunshine
Hope you had a great time. My brother lives in Kissimmee
Wonderful.
Funny ..... have followed your family since COVID began, but never thought you'd visit 25 miles from where I grew up! Great version of the song, and good scenery - only thing you missed was the mosquitos! Keep on keepin' on, all of you.
Woooow..... This is just FANTASTIC!!🤩
Thanks for making me smile! 😍
Pleased you got to go to Florida and enjoy a fantastic vacation together, even finding time to perform for this song. You never cease to amaze me with your continued talent in putting your interpretations of old songs together. making complete sense for the 'now'. Well done and can't wait for the next one as always. 💞👏👍
Brilliant xx
Brilliant as ever
Loved this!
