In my oppinion, NK was a fun joke song, but not one I really need to hear again. Where as, even though I knew nothing about Hamilton (the musical) before hearing the Polka, I now have the polka stuck in my head, singing all of it, just like all the polkas that had songs I didn't know already.
(In all of my loving al time, which I started when I was a kid, when I was a kid, up to Off the deep end, I'm pretty sure the only song I already knew in ANY polka was Love Shack and Hey Jude and I still loved all of them. Knew Bohimean Rhapsody, and again, Alternative Polka, I only knew All I Wanna Do. (I lived in a small town with one selective radio station) Angry White Boy polka wasn't my type of music, though I knew a couple I think. Polka Power! and Polkarama! were the only two that I knew 3/4ths of the choices. (Or in the case of Polkarama, Knew them all, but haaaated 3-4 XD) Then around "Polka Face" I had stopped listening to current music and only knew "Fireflies" and "So What?", and with Now Thats What I Call Polka, I knew a couple more, but just "Someone I Used To Know", "Timber" (<- I hate that I knew that, It was my sisters fault. XD) and "Thrift Shop"......)
...My point of all that is, I love all those polkas, and I enjoy them even though to this day I still don't know a lot of the source material. (....Ugh, I still hate that because of Al, though, that I know Wreckingball, and it really gets stuck in my head....) But Al is just a genious and makes me enjoy it anyway. While, NK polka... It's not bad at all, but It feel more like, "Hey, this will be a fun live proformance to do once, I'll write this in a day or two and it will be fun." And again, its not bad at all! But, I don't really have an interest in hearing it again. Just my oppinion.
