Guess what, Trash Wheel groupies, filming of the Mr. Trash Wheel music video has been rescheduled.
The new date for the music video shoot is Sunday, Oct. 12 at 3:30 p.m., and he needs his fans more than ever.
The original filming was set to take place at September’s Baltimore by Baltimore Festival, which was their first ever eco-themed BxB day, but rain got in the way. The festival went on with some modifications for the weather, a joyful-if-damp celebration of Mr. Trash Wheel and other local eco-heroes. The Lost Pythons even performed. Sadly, the rain made filming impossible, so the video shoot needed to be rescheduled.
All the preparations for Mr. Trash Wheel fans are the same, but the location for filming has changed – this time video extras will need to report to the Inner Harbor Promenade outside of the Maryland Science Center at 601 Light St.
Otherwise, make sure to RSVP by Oct. 12 to let the production team know who will be there; memorize the “Mr. Trash Wheel” song lyrics and be ready to sing; wear your favorite Mr. Trash Wheel gear, googly eyes, or other wacky merch, which can include dressing up as any beloved member of the Trash Wheel family; and be ready to rock.
Here are the lyrics to the “Mr. Trash Wheel” song to get a head start on memorizing and sing along with the video below to learn the tune.
“Mr. Trash Wheel”
When the rain it starts a-pouring
Down the Jones Falls waterway
There were tons of trash
That would splish and splash
All the way to the Chesapeake Bay
‘Til a super smart inventor
Made a nifty new machine
Now the floating trash
Disappears in a flash
And the water stays clear and clean
Chorus:
Mr. Trash Wheel
Mr. Trash Wheel
Mr. Trash Wheel
He’s the hero of the Harbor
Every plastic bag and bottle
Every Starbucks latte cup
Goes a-floating south
To a big wide mouth
Where the trash wheel swallows them up
He’s collected logs and tires
Even snagged an old guitar
But a python snake
Really takes the cake
For the strangest find by far
Chorus:
Mr. Trash Wheel
Mr. Trash Wheel
Mr. Trash Wheel
He’s the hero of the Harbor
Now they built him a companion
In a slightly smaller size
Lookin’ cute and chic
Down at Harris Creek
With her long lashed googly eyes
Now with Gwynnda and the Captain
They do wonders for the Bay
Sucking up the yutz
And cigarette butts
Up to 25 tons a day!
Chorus:
Mr. Trash Wheel
Mr. Trash Wheel
Mr. Trash Wheel
He’s the hero of the Harbor
Mr. Trash Wheel
Professor Trash Wheel
Captain Trash Wheel
They’re the heroes of the Harbor in Baltimore!
