Other than Christmas at Ground Zero and Dog Eat Dog, I could do without the entire Polka Party album.

"Ruthless People" didn't bomb - it was actually a huge box office hit. It's just that Mick Jagger's theme song, for whatever reason, didn't chart. People only recognized it from the movie. In Al's 1986 Demento interview, he explained how he was looking for that one last parody, and the first artist to get back to him with approval was Jagger saying "I'd be honored to have my own Weird Al parody," and Al had been such a huge fan of the man for so many years, he couldn't very well say "Well gosh, Mick, your single kinda tanked. Maybe next time, okay?"the fact that "Ruthless People" bombed at the box office rendered "Toothless People" irrelevant immediately
He has stated in the past he didn't include a polka medley because "Lasagna" already heavily uses the accordion, and having another accordion song (polka) would be redundant (and cruel! ).caseyk27 wrote:I think this must be why he didn't include a polka medely on Even Worse

Yes, human ears can only handle so much polka in one album.Elvis wrote:He has stated in the past he didn't include a polka medley because "Lasagna" already heavily uses the accordion, and having another accordion song (polka) would be redundant (and cruel! ).caseyk27 wrote:I think this must be why he didn't include a polka medely on Even Worse
