:lol: They weren't. I think Ty and Al knew that they didn't like Polka, so they kind of had fun embarrassing her. :P

Unless your connection can be boosted or the file is reduced (it's more then 1 gig), I won't be able to get it. Right now, it's sending at a max of 6k/sec and that would be 50 hours.

I cant be connected for more then 5 hours at a time. The school's connection drops like a ton of bricks.

You'll have to find a different way of getting it up. It's just too big and slow to be sent through your current connection.

I'd love a polka sung to me by Al, with my name in the lyrics...heee!

love ALWAYs

He became Francine back in 76' and then he joined that cult. I think his name is Mother Shibubu now.

Well that was...um, pointless. I guess it would have helped if Amanda understand the joke of the pun, or (as already pointed out) if she indicated that she actually recognized Al. Otherwise, it just seemed uncomfortable and that could have been anyone standing there with an accordion.

Oh well, at least Al's personal polka was cute and catchy...and, including commercials, Al's appearance (not counting the little teaser) came 27 minutes into the episode, so that's something.

I think it amounted to quite a bit ... it gave Al a little exposure before his next album on a fairly high rated show. It doesn't bother me at all that Amanda (or her family) doesn't listen to Al ... not everyone is cut from the same cloth, and we all have our own personal preferences when it comes to music. But Al was shown to quite a few people tonight (if only for a few seconds), and I think that's pretty cool.

And yes! The song was catchy! Sounded kinda like Polkaman!

On Edit: It actually sounded more like a Dr. Demento polka that I can't remember the name of at the moment ... the tune is almost identical, very catchy.

Anyway, I thought it was great seeing Al on the big screen. And, in a few years, I think Amanda might relish the fact that she actually received a polka serenade from the master!

Actually, it came in 26 minutes... It ended at the 27th minute.

It was a funny joke and Al did a great job :)

(but it would have been cool if Amanda was a fan, too)

Don't worry if no-one here can upload a file... it's very likely that within the next few days it'll be torrented.
