That was my video. I posted it to Facebook earlier but realized it still needed tweaking. So, post-tweaked, I re-uploaded it to YouTube:

Auto-Polka (a new "Weird-Al" Yankovic tribute/style medley of recent pop hits in polka format)

Weird Al is probably my earliest inspiration as a musician, and it's about dern tootin' time I did some tribute.

Have fun, folks!

That was AMAZING!! Great job!
I'm a huge OK Go fan and I wasn't expecting "This Too Shall Pass" in there! Looks like Al will have some competition for the next album!

No. Just the banjo. Everything else was MIDI. I did pretty much arrange it from scratch by taking down the melodies and chord by ear and arranging the instrumentation and vocals, etc. (I'm much more of a composer/arranger than a performer. It's just that no one else is usually crazy enough to want to take the time to learn and perform my stuff .)

Thanks!

That was awesome!!!

Holy crap, that was excellent! I wouldn't be surprised if at least one or two of those songs were in the actual polka and arranged identically.

[weirdojace]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Seriously, excellent work.

This was incredibly well done! Great job! For MIDI instrumentation, that was some great production value!
