Which Polka Will Al Play?

What is your prediction for which polka Al will play this tour? Which would be your ideal choice?


My ideal choice is Hot Rocks Polka, but I would gladly settle for Polkas On 45 which is a close second.

I don't think Al will actually play Polkarama again, and I'd definitely prefer no polka and an extra performance of a different song than to see Polkarama this year.

The concept of a new polka seems unlikely, though I suppose it could be that Al has a new medley ready to go for this tour. I guess we'll see. If he does not have one, I would be equally happy to see Polkas On 45 or Hot Rocks.

If its an old one, I'd guess Hot Rocks, since theose songs were older when he recorded it anyway, so he doesnt have to worry about the songs being current

I predict either a new polka or no polka at all.

In fact, I predict he'll play exactly ONE of the four newly-recorded songs that none of us have heard yet (maybe the polka, maybe a new parody, maybe a new original), because historically, whenever a series of concerts has occurred between recording sessions and their album release, he has favored us with a single sneak peek (i.e. "Headline News" on the late-1994 Alapalooza tour dates, "Since You've Been Gone" on the 1995 Canada tour, and "Party At The Leper Colony" at the 2002 O.C. Fair shows - incidentally, he didn't play any polka at all at the 2002 O.C. Fair shows, thus establishing a "polkaless show" precedent). He already promised, on his CDR Radio appearance, that he will DEFINITELY play stuff from Internet Leaks.

My favorite polka is he's made so far is Polkas on 45, but I don't think that's the one he's going to play.

There'll probably be a new polka on the 13th album, so I'm hoping that's the polkas he'll play. There's a chance he might just play Polkarama!, considering it's the newest, but probably not.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I'm putting my metaphorical money on a new polka, though.

I don't care, I just hope he plays one! A new one would be the best but I will take anything where Al shreds the accordion!
