@paullacny -- You are so right. I've gotten tired of rock over the past few years, especially with the angst and the self-absorbtion and shallowness of the lyrics. My grandmother's generation had it right--they worked hard, they were dirt-poor, but they were happy. And they loved polkas. I've returned to my roots. And in what other style of music do you have so many happy people? Happy Louie, Happy Jack, Jolly Joe Timmer...

wow. This and Weird Al are completely different. But, it was also two very different times. That and WE recognize Al's music. But he wrote this himself.

Weird Al Yankovic (no relation) utilized a snippet of this polka in his latest polka medley before he sings "Tik Tok" by Ke-Dollar Sign-ha.

It is too bad the world moves so fast as to forget the good times us" old folks: had at dances like this. We need more--just once in a while--in big dance halls. You young folk, you haven't really learned what good, clean wholesome fun, dancong and drinkling can be---, but not too much- This is what music-is all about. PGL Canada
