Rap is so fun to make fun of...

Al's been doing it for a long time...AP, CP, TG, etc...(and Twista! I mean Twister of course!)

So a rappy polka would be nice...and no, I DID NOT MEAN TO HIT THE C! :lol:

I think that it would be cool to wait for a few more American Idol winners, and then make a polka out of all their debut songs. Not because I like their music, it just deserves some form of mockery, and is a HUGE pop culture icon.

Polka medley! Yeah!

Crawling- Linkin Park
In Da Club- 50 Cent
What's the Difference- Dr. Dre
Forgot About Dre- Dr. Dre
Guilty Concience- Eminem (the chorus from the video as a bridge)
You Know You're Right- Nirvana
Monkey See Monkey Do- Eminem

It would be hard to imagine Cleanin' Out My Closet being in a polka. It's a slow paced song, and Em would probably say it's too serious to be a part of a polka.

Forgot About Dre would be great though. Since a polka usually accelerates the original, it would be funny to see how Al handles that one.

Some of the best Polka-ized songs were ones which would be hard to imagine in a polka. Think about The Alternative Polka. There are a lot of songs in there that you wouldn't think would work in a polka.

I think it's a lot funnier when Al takes sad, slow songs, and makes them polka-sized....

:lol:

Plus. I don't know Al would be into a rap-likle polka...

I think Nickelback's "How You Remind Me" would've been great on the last album, but now it's starting to fade away...

Yeah, but look at The Hot Rocks Polka, most of those songs are slow...well, slower than songs that I listen to at least...

Also, it would give new life to the song which is the meaning of Al's polkas, to view the song differently than anyone ever has before.
