Jimmy's won more than 12 Grammys for Polka over the years. Oddly enough, Frankie Yankovic only won one.
This means something. This is important.

I thought that Frankie was the Polka King.

I remember reading that "Lose Yourself" was released right after the Grammy eligibilty period for last year ended. So, he was still able to be nominated this year.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

When Frankie Yankovic died, SOMEBODY had to take over the polka king job. BTW, does anybody else agree with me that when Al calls somebody a "polka-holic" that's not necessarily a BAD thing? :lookround:
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

I'd say it'd be a compliment for Al to call you a polkaholic! I'd be honored.

I'd be honored if Al called me a polkaholic...but then I'd be honored if Eminem called me a ****in wannabe and to get the **** out of his face...

I'd pick my honors more carefully if I were you.
