I love the Drum solo bit in the middle of that polka. It always cracks me up.

I'm not sure if I have a favorite. I like each one for different reasons.
If we're counting it, I could probably say my least favorite is "Polkamon," only because it comes off as a little too "Music From and Inspired by the Motion Picture"-y to be funny. It's only marginally more creative than Yakko singing the countries of the world.
If I had to choose a favorite, it would probably be either "Polka Your Eyes Out" or "The Alternative Polka." I dunno, to me they just have a fuller production sound than some of the earlier polkas.
Hey, I didn't say it was a normal reason.

Oh, I don't know, CD. If you look at the lyrics Al put a lot of effort into taking random non-sense names into an order that rhymes, has the right cadence and still manages to make some sense. I mean, look what he had to work with.
If we aren't counting it, I would have to say Polka Your Eyes Out, but that's right at this minute. It may change later today. Like you said, I like them all but for different reasons.

Polkamon, to me, is a bit harder to memorize when you don't know a thing about Pokemon.

No, I know what you mean. Yeah, it is cool what he was able to do with it, but he has just done the polka thing so much better before with even less lyrical freedom.

You are correct. But I still like Polkamon. :choon:

Oddly, Polkamon is one song I don't have. Or maybe I do someplace, I don't recall. I do recall that it was rather catchy.

Favorite polka? Hmmm...
Can't pick one. Not crazy about the one on Bad Hair Day, though. I can tell you that.
As far as the others, I do them at karaoke. Yu should see the looks on peoples' faces!

I finally figured out what it is that I like so much about Polkamon. Apart from the general Polka bounciness, it's the accordion. I would love to see Al actually play it, I bet his fingers just fly...
