Merry Go Round (The Replacements song)

"Merry Go Round" is a song by American alternative rock band the Replacements, from their 1990 studio album All Shook Down. Written by lead singer Paul Westerberg, the song features lyrics inspired by his relationship with his younger sister Mary as well as a drumming performance by Charley Drayton instead of the band's drummer Chris Mars (though the latter did appear in the music video for the song).

The song became the band's most successful single on the alternative rock charts, staying at number one for four weeks on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. It has since seen positive critical reception.
