 The Record Robot: Macs N' Cheese
I didn't know who the Merry Macs were when I bought this.
To me it was just another '50s era Capitol record, and that was good enough for me. Turns out I've heard the Merry Macs many times during my childhood as my Dad owned a few of their 78s from the '40s.
I think most of the songs on this Merry Macs record are re-recordings of past glory moments.

The Merry Macs : The Harmonious Hits of the Merry Macs
The Merry Macs are probably best remembered today for their biggest hit, "Mairzy Doats," or by fans of Abbott & Costello for their appearance in what is probably the comedy duo's best early-'40s film, Ride 'Em Cowboy (where they shared the musical spotlight with Ella Fitzgerald).
Their cool harmonies on numbers such as "Cheatin' on the Sandman" are still beguiling a half-century later, and bear repeated listening -- the Manhattan Transfer owed a certain amount to the quartet's work in the 1940s.

 Movie Database - [TV Guide Online]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Alex's undergraduate secretary, Katherine (Nancy Olson), moves in with Paul to insure that he keeps his nose to the grindstone, and in no time, the tunesmith has shifted his romantic attentions from money-hungry Lorna Marvis (Ruth Hussey) to the pretty coed.
The rest of the movie deals with the show they write and produce, with a few cameos by well-knowns--including Peggy Lee, Groucho Marx, and The Merry Macs--added to enhance the marquee value.
The story is loosely based on Sam Raphaelson's play "Accent on Youth" (which had already been filmed in 1935 as a romance and was filmed again in 1959 as BUT NOT FOR ME) and it's as thin as can be, but that has little to do with the fun engendered by the goings-on.

San Antonio Rose is an amiably wacky mini-musical evenly divided between its "official" stars, The Merry Macs, and a strong cast of supporting clowns.
Stranded entertainers Hope Holloway (Jane Frazee) and Gabby Trent (Eve Arden) decide to revivify Conway's establishment by staging an energetic floor show built around the talented Merry Macs.
San Antonio Rose never stops moving, not even during the closing credits, as the Merry Macs reprise the energetic novelty tune "Mexican Jumping Beat".
