Jon: What's your favorite polka song, Liz? Liz: Uh... Liz: I don't think I have one. Jon: Too hard to choose, huh? Garfield: Just nod your head and back away slowly.
I once had a friend who managed to turn “Sgt Pepper” into a polka tune. Note the “had” in that sentence. But he almost succeeded in making John Lennon rise from his grave.
A great polka I remember as a child living across the street from the Polish-American Association clubhouse is “I Don’t Want Her, You Can Have Her, She’s Too Fat for Me”. But I don’t know the name of my favorite because it had no words, just an amazing clarinet part.

“2001 Polka” by Martin Mull. The opening theme of “Also Sprach Zarathustra” set to a polka beat. Classic.

Obviously, no one here (but Jon and I) have Polish relatives.
