Who Stole the Keeshka

[Frankyeddeer]

If some one stole the Keeshka, would you really want it back? I mean, you never know where that Keeshka has been.

[sharx35]

@Frankyeddeer You've been playing "Hide the Salami", no doubt!

[Frankyeddeer]

@sharx35 LOL that was mighty funny. Thanks. 

[capsfan4488]

i still have one question... who stole the keeshka?

[LastTree]

This is a great dance song,  as kids we thought this was hilarious, and still to this day we remember this song.

[supinski50]

NOSTROVIA!

[TheProudAmerican777]

3 people stole the keeshka.

[neonshiki]

I love Polka!

[effedtiffbe]

Thanks for posting this. I always loved this song.

[mcfrdmn]

Lovely song

[Jemmmmmmmmmma]

[Lilith88x]

Wtf is a keeshka.

[SmileyNoodles00]

@Lilith88x A Sausage xD!

[Voodoozeko]

@Lilith88x Type of sausage filled with kasha (porridge)

[asbwkr6]

I am not Poish, but grew up in a Polish neighborhood for the most part, I married a Polish woman. I dated many Polish women. One thing I can tell you about them is that they love to share food. What better way to share in conversation, than over food? Relaxing, down to earth people. And yes, very hard working. All the polish people I know and have met are super people!!

[pstd72aug24]

What kind of monster was this Frankie Yankovic. And what kind of people are Sloveniens? He makes fun of fat women, stealing food, and drinking beer.

[syncroMolly]

i do my synchronized skating to this song!

[Tara0218awesome]

Im  40% polish. 20% Lithuanian. 20% Irish. 20% German.

[tmh726]

this video is wrong, I'm afraid. I stole the keeshka, when I was 10, at my grandmother's Church picnic!

[beatlesnstonesfan1]

Its really hard not to love this song. and Yasho stole the kishka.

[chic23boy]

lol great  :)

[1americanidol11]

My dad kept talking about this song and I finally looked it up. lol!

[janlapczyk]

dicarlo57: Your initial comments about Poles is generally accepted; except for the 'sensuality' part about Polish Women. Yeah they are 'hot' in the kitchen, cooking everybody everything, but the ice-box in my house was warmer than the bedroom, back seat of my car, or mortuary slab!

Just kidding of course. Being Polish I can remember all sorts of TV polka shows that couldn't be missed; like church! Then there was baseball, wrestling and roller derby! How better to assimilate into the USA.

[yekyrneh]

My parents, who were from Poland, watched "Polka Varieties" every Sunday morning so I remember it well. I hated Polka music with a passion! Funny thing though, now that I'm 58 years old, I'm starting to actually like some polka music!

[yekyrneh]

Ghoulardi stole the Kiska!

[ontariobuds]

@yekyrneh yashu stole it

[sachmocornhowserjr]

Does this program go out to Parma?

[BadNews88]

THIS Chicagoan *LOVES* this ditty.

An ALL-TIME UBER-MEGA-ULTRA RAVE-FAVE o'mine!!

Thanx fer this, m8..

[UgliGoat]

if you are in the cleveland/akron area, 88.1 on saturday morning has polka.. 0800-1200. great stuff!

[mrbuffalo1942]

one of my favorite songs when i wuz a kid

[Stroshan]

So who stole it? I didn't catch it. We know brought it back back... hummm

[SethraLavode99]

@Stroshan They never say. At least the Dan/Don Wojtila (Slovenian) version they don't tell you.

[dicarlo57]

having grown up in a Polish-Italian community I can tell you a few things: Poles are hard workers, their houses are so clean you can eat off of the floors, and nothing beats the warmth and sensuality of a Polish woman....

[iHalex1]

@dicarlo57 I'm like 80 Polish and some Italian. Arn't I cool....

[mindspring57]

@dicarlo57 I was born in Detroit, lived in the suburbs, and spent time in Hamtramck, a Polish enclave of the City of Detroit. You are absolutely right about the Poles. I am Ukrainian on my mother's side, but my maternal grandmother's father was Polish.

[dicarlo57]

@mindspring57 The Poles were alot of fun, especially when drinking. Alot of the poles took umbrage with common dagos chasing their wemon yet Polish/Italian marriages were everywhere and usually lasted for years. I had two friends, a Ukranian and a Pole. Both shared a common stature where thier legs where short in porportion to thier torsos. They had great physical strength, playing frisbee with manhole covers and bench pressing freezers. The thoughest kids in our city were Poles.

[mrgoblueguy]

@mindspring57 where at in Hamtramck? I was on Mitchell a few houses from Commor.

[mindspring57]

@mrgoblueguy My maternal grandparents attended Immaculate Conception Ukainian Church on Commor. In the 1920's, they and my mother lived on Throwbridge, and in the 1930's, my grandparents later lived on Charest.

[Tara0218awesome]

@dicarlo57 poles are hard workers?? lol i think the word u r looking for is polaks

[ConwingL162007]

@dicarlo57 NOT TO MENTION THE FOOOODD....OOOHH CABBAGE ROLLS HELUSKI....Im 10 percent polish myself..so yea Im entitled to crack the polock jokes....oh my dear Polish friend told me this one a couple of years ago. What did the Polock say when he was trying to tell a joke?? "I dont kow I was hoping you'd tell me" lol

[50centgotshot9times]

@dicarlo57 they're also smelly and hairy

[UglySean]

@dicarlo57 You're funny. True I've never been to Poland and my grandfather was the last to speak the language - my great grandfather (they called Ba-ba) whom I've never met was born in Poland. But clean houses? Not mine. I just don't have the energy and stamina. Pretty neat song. Frankie did the vocals?

[patryk4565]

@dicarlo57 It's not always as you said.But I don't know why most people in the world don't like polish ;/

[MattShizzle]

I had this on a 45 when I was little on the opposite side of the PA Dutch "Schnitzelbonk" song.

[krazykid1521]

kishka means blood sausage right

[clint2465]

hehe

[sarkelcpa]

Does anybody remember that show on Sunday mornings called 'Polka Variety?' It was shown on one of the Cleveland television stations back in the early 60s.

[Tracymmo]

@sarkelcpa Polka Varieties ran into the early 80s. And I remember it well, watching it after the Gene Carroll Show!

[Tracymmo]

@sarkelcpa Oh, and I'm from Parma! Not Polish though. Just part Slovak. Parma is probably more Ukrainian and Serb than Polish, but shhhh don't tell anyone. ;)

[ObeyVonZip]

@sarkelcpa Oh yeah dude. It was never missed at my grandparents house.

[ImGodOfCanada]

LOL I used to DJ at this radio station a couple years ago and we played this song all the time on Saturdays. Noone in the small town knew my radio name, but if you said The Polka King... everyone knew. (GX94 in Yorkton, Sk.)

[shortclipsgaymedia]

YESSSSS JAKE AND EZRA!!!!!

[bulldogbarks55]

Dan Neaverth and Joey Reynolds of WKBW Radio 1520 in Buffalo had a novelty version of this tune around 1963. Buffalo has a huge Polish population so their version was very popular there.

[Prallductions]

My grandma's brother played with Frankie Yankovic up in Ely MN. What an artist

[spiritchsr1]

Turn Blue, Stay Sick was Ghoulardi's favorite saying. Everytime I here this song it reminds me of Ghoulardi especially when he used to make fun of the City of Parma, Ohio where all the Polish, I mean Certian Ethnic People lived. After all Parma spelled backwards was Amrap where white socks and bowling balls were very popular. Frank's song Who stole the Keeska was so much a part of Ghoulardi's show, as well as the Big Chuck and Hoolihan, and later the Little John Show as well.

[drunk3director]

I am too young as I was born in '64, but in New York we had John Zacherle in the 1950s and early 60s as a horror host.

But Zach didn't play any Kiszka songs! Being Polish myself, you guys have made me curious about Ghoulardi's show!

(Because I am involved in horror comedy, the 90 year old Zach is a friend of mine these days.)

[section147]

Ghoulardi played this song ALL the time...as did Hoolihan & Big Chuck!

[mursunranta]

Tämä on aivan ihana laulu nuoruudestani.

In English: I heard this song about 40 years ago and I still enjoy listening at it.Btw, if you like Finnish songs, please, listen at "Erilainen tango". In Finnish, pessimistic in a way, but still ...

[eps2467]

Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of "The Ghoul" who hosted a show on Cleveland TV that featured low-budget horror and sci-fi movies along with comedy bits. The humor mostly centered around Polish jokes and the Cleveland suburb of Parma .The show was based on "Ghoulardi",which was created by the late Ernie Anderson in the 1960s.

I remember he would insert this song into the movies alot , along with other funny sound effects .

[upret66]

If you type in Ghoulardi or Big Chuck & hoolihan or little John on your search bar, you will find several of their show here on youtube.

[BadNews88]

LOVE this song...loved it ever since I was a kid..

Thanx, m8..

[XRISSX77]

OMG, my grandmother used to play this when my Dad was a kid. My dad still jokes around and sings this

[Voodoozeko]

Frankie Yankovic is not Polish

[dayooper3]

You're right...he is Slovenian and they also do polkas!!!

[Voodoozeko]

Yes we do thats true! : )

[dayooper3]

We Slovenes gotta stick together! ; )

Frankie Yankovic is the best!

[Voodoozeko]

Yes we should :) . By the way are u from Clevland???

[dayooper3]

Not from Cleveland - from Detroit, but my Parents and Grandparents are from Calumet MI and my mothers parents are from Slovenia.

[Voodoozeko]

Thats cool :) . Nice to see that slovenian-americans keep their identity.

[BoNursukker]

i just got some kiszka and pierogi from janka's on 63rd and heisley in cleveland FUCK YEAH!

[TheZachalope]

Wouldn't happen to be related to any Chopp's or Gregorich's from Calumet, would you?

[dayooper3]

No relation but both names are very familiar to me. My grandparents lived up on Tamarack Location and Lakeview Cemetary was just down the hill going out to Waterworks.

[frank17011]

Frank Yankovic is Slovenian.

[frank17011]

@Voodoozeko Frank Yankovic is Slovenian.

[Voodoozeko]

@frank17011 I know that, it would be shame if i wouldnt

[helloSunshine292]

its keszka

[stinkykyle96]

keeska is blood sausage made from pig blood

[bluecross7]

omg.. this song rules... Frankly it's a concern for me that polka music is more popular and respected in US than in Poland =P

[mooshycookie94]

yay!
