 | | Typically a Music Hall song consists of a series of verses sung by the performer alone, and a repeated chorus which carries the principal melody, and in which the audience is encouraged to join. |
 | | Songs like Glorious Beer, and the first major Music Hall success, Champagne Charlie, in 1854, had a major influence in establishing the new art form. |
 | | Songs like My Old Man (said Follow the Van), Knocked 'em in the Old Kent Road, and Waiting at the Church, expressed in melodic form situations that the urban poor were very familiar with. |
