Polka Fever commercial (1980)

[setheriah]

so what was the first album released by jimmy sturr before million dollar polka



[RRaquello]

boy, that's some noisy music. and they complain about rock & roll!

[elc1960]

If they really wanted this album to sell, they should have had Reggie "Da Crusher" Lisowski in the commercial with Jimmy & his band. A "must-have" album if you live in the upper midwest.

I love this music. I had to get older to appreciate it though, lol.

[BlackHart814]

I guarantee 80% of Erie owns this album.

[elc1960]

@BlackHart814 Bet it was a big seller in Milwaukee too. That accordion music really gets the babes hot.

[BlackHart814]

@elc1960 Oh, and let's not forget Hamtramck, Buffalo, and Cleveland.

I think there was a mosh pit in there. I also love how the announcer makes sure to pronounce the L in "POLKA".

[Dink513]

I bet this sold like hotcakes in the Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Detroit markets!

The best polka tune is called "Polka all night long" by Jimmy Sturr. Let me know if you find that one.

Polkas: I always think of John Candy 'The Polka King of the Mid-West' in Home Alone.

[LaMortadella]

"She's Too Fat For Me"...LOLZ, I just love polka titles.

The "Polka Fever" double-LP by Jimmy Sturr & His Orchestra was originally released in 1978 on the Bruno Dean label and includes 30 great tracks.
