How about a polka thread!

Here's another
And another

Ah, polkas! Orin, when I was in college, my friends and I used to polka on weekends at a place called Blob's Park. It was a German beer garden with a dance hall and live music set down in a field. Such fun! I met my first love there; had I known Blob's was going to close this year, I'd have suggested we all go for one last dance!

Back in the day; there were a lot of polka bands that made their rounds through the nearby dance halls! I loved it when the Six Fat Dutchmen came through!

I was looking for an old polka called the chicken polka; (not to be confused with the chicken dance) ;alas I couldn't find it but here is the clarinet polka!

Hey Orin, youtube has a lot of variations. Could this be the one you were looking for?

Thanks Beyond; that be it! I am having trouble posting on Firefox and now on Bing; I don't know what is going on!

Ah, ok. I'm half Polish from my father and half 'Swamp Yankee' according to my mother, whose roots were traced back to the Mayflower. So even though I'm half Polish, i don't listen to Polka's. I guess the Swamp Yankee part cancels out the Polish Polka part.

The turkey gobble polka??

Here's one my father used to listen to a lot, the Pennsylvania Polka.
And this one also, the Beer Barrel Polka, which ta152h0 should enjoy, as there are lots of 'cold ones' in a barrel!
