A combination of old and new polkas. This pick is part two of the Polka compilations. Polka Pick Part 1 is here. This time a few more of Brave Combo, another Weird Al and the Polkaholics. You'll notice some pretty out there covers of the Doors and Pink Floyd, polka style. Some country polka and a few polkas from some soundtracks. I added Dean Martin and a few other older tracks to balance out the new ones. Not sure why, but none of them resonate with my mother-in-law as much as the Pennsylvania Polka does (which is on part 1,) but they're all pretty decent and get your foot tapping. Watch your step! I've been looking for a Brush Your Teeth polka. Do you know of one?

ReplyDeleteI love this AND they're Dutch!
DeleteWhen my son and his then-girlfriend were in high school they had to learn polka dancing for a scene in a school musical. At the time he and his friends were all in ever changing line ups in ska bands (they were into third wave bands like Reel Big Fish, etc.). I always seemed to be the designated adult chaperone for these teen ska shows. Anyway, it always cracked me up when, as everyone else was skanking, him and his girl would bust out their polka moves. The surprised and confused looks were awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love this. I hope you have some video of it... Probably no cell phones at the time which is a shame. I can picture it though
DeleteI wish there was but nope. It kind of makes sense though, (third wave) ska and polka are sort of second cousins with their emphasis on horns but instead of oompa oompa it's pick it up pick it up.
DeleteYep totally makes sense
DeleteMakes sense
