That's not a bad idea, actually. A polka medley of traditional Christmas songs would make a nice little holiday treat. It would fill our desire for a polka and for a Christmas song too. We haven't had one in almost 20 years now.

the future of Al releases is all about desire.

The Public Domain Polka!

That's an interesting idea, since he'd only have to clear one song. If he could pick juuuust the right one, that would be a great way to keep the polka alive.

Single-artist polkas would be about the same thing, right? Maybe a little more paperwork than one song, but certainly not as much as a dozen different artists.

Another interesting idea! I love "Hot Rocks Polka" and I'm not even a big Rolling Stones fan. So many bands could fit that model, and they wouldn't have to be current. I hope he considers this!

Public Domain Polka?"Battle Hymn of the Republic-Al style"So crazy it might work!

But,really I think the way to go would be polkafying a full song a la "Bohemian Polka" or something similar.

I mean, we all already want Beatles and Zeppelin polkas, and while those are probably never going to happen, it shows it's definitely something to consider. I can think of quite a few more recent artists that would make great polkas (Nirvana!) and I hope he looks into it.
