I think Al should, one day, do a "Second Chance Polka"--using great songs he never got to use since they didn't fit in with transition, were too old to be used before, etc. Some songs that I'd love in it:
"Don't Know Why"-Norah Jones
"Ms. Jackson"-Outkast
"I Wanna Be Sedated"-Ramones
"Whip It"-Devo
"Who Are You"-The Who
"Tainted Love"-Soft Cell
"Dreams"-Fleetwood Mac
"Jack and Diane"-John Cougar
"Getting Closer"-Wings (obscure but very polkable)
"Hammer to Fall"-Queen
Songs That Would Sound Awesome On a Polka

Talk about missed oppurtunities! How great would this have been in AWBP?
I was watching Fuse (The channel formerly known as Muchmusic and the channel formerly known as cool) and I saw a song from a couple years ago that I completly forgot about:
Bodies by Drowning Pool
Wow! I almost immediatly thought of an Al polka version. It would've been great!
Also, I think Matchbox 20's Unwell is destined for a polka...especially because of the song's Poodle Hat connections (Part of the video was filmed on the same fake subway as the PH cover)

You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

Beyonce's Crazy in Love would make an excellent "intro" to the polka, but I believe that's a sample, so clearances might be hard to get.
I don't know about Hey Ya, though...as big a hit as it is, I can't see anything defining in that song to make it polka worthy. That doesn't mean I wouldn't want to hear it in a polka, though!

"Hey Ya" would be great in a polka, since I can't see a parody of it being done.

If Al parodied "Hey Yah!" and did a video, I think all the Al Gals' heads would explode from seeing 7 Al's on screen at the same time! Plus, the song doesn't lend itself well to a parody, since the chorus just goes "Hey yah!" over and over again. Not much to parody there. That's why I think it would be better in a polka (besides the fact that I LOVE that song!).
