It is hard to depressed when listening to the Wiener Dog Polka.

@regbill I say that all the time! Just get out on the dance floor and let it go. =s

I fucking love this song!

[casabasa]

@jibbymcbeet yep! Neil Basa - the fantastic playing clarinetist - wrote it, with some lyrical contributions by his cousin, Impor Hisky.

Polkacide little known fact: Impy's name was inspired by the broken neon sign for Imported Whiskey off of 101 in San Francisco.

The guys were feeling doubtful of showing the videos since the sound quality isn't there. I think fans just like seeing them!

I bought the entire CD just for this song. It's great to see the geniuses behind it.

@cruiseflash Thank you. I was stuck behind the merch table, hence the bad video quality. If you're from around the Bay Area, you might recognize Bryan Kehoe and his lovely wife when the camera panned to the back. Bryan Kehoe Nation is another band worth supporting their music.
