Good non-Al polkas
What are some good polka songs that aren't by Al? (Frankie Yankovic qualifies).
not to mention the toilets at Madonna Inn

The obvious one that comes to mind (Al once did this with Frankie so I hope it still qualifies): Frankie Yankovic and His Yanks do Who Stole the Kishka?
And just to fly the flag of my own personal ethnic heritage, here's a Finnish polka, done a cappella: Levan Polka It's a start.

Come to Czech Republic! That's where polka comes from!
Highly recommend you Al Grebnick band. They performed loads of polkas, many of them came to America from Czech Republic, in the original language.
Frankie Yankovic and his Yanks of course. And many, many others!
SEVA.

I can't believe I forgot the Punk Polka:

Also Bob Dylan's "Must Be Santa" from his Christmas album is in a polka style. It would be a stretch to call anything from that album "good," however.

And there's always Tom Waits' "Cemetery Polka."
