You Ain't Nothin' But A Polka Dog. That's great Ratbert, but how about Poodle Dog?
A Little Less Conversation, A Little More Polka. Marko, that's almost Weird Al level Brilliance! I like it!

Some songs I can picture in a polka are:
She hates me (of course with the bad words blocked out or maybe al could replace it with freakin')
Hellagood
In the Middle
Some sort of Avril song (Sk8ter boi, I'm With You, Complicated)

QUOTE I think it's high time for another one-artist polka medley....I believe the idea of a \"Fab Four Polka\" has been bantied about on the newsgroup in the past.
The only problem in that would be picking WHICH songs to include.
A little accordion sting, leading into A Hard Day's Night
Can't Buy Me Love
Penny Lane
Yesterday
Free as a Bird
Octopus's Garden
Come Together
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Let it Be
I Want to Hold Your Hand
She Loves You
I would love that. It would be hard to get any Harrisongs probably, but is Al still on speaking terms with Jacko and McCartney? That might make it possible. And Ringo would be happy to have him use "Octopus's Garden."
If that doesn't work out, I'd like to see the Donnas and "You Know You're Right" in the polka.

QUOTE And Ringo would be happy to have him use \"Octopus's Garden.\"
I stayed up (too) late one night and saw an interview with Ringo on TV. I thought it was extremely cool that, with the amazing life he's had, Mr. Starr said, "My dreams are still coming true."
It was an interesting interview (and I can't remember who was interviewing him!)... he was contrasting the way the Beatles began with the way some bands/singers get started today (apparently by extruding a plastic mass into singer-shaped molds-- my interpretation )
His point was that because they began by being more interested in making music than in becoming famous, he can still enjoy the satisfactions of playing with people he admires and doing music that interests him-- thus, his dreams are still coming true.
He didn't say that one of his dreams was to have a song he'd written be parodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic, but, hey, anything's possible.

And it all started with the Pre-Fab Four. I got a laugh the other day, I was WAY surfing and came across a reference to Mickey Dolenz as a "founding member" of the Monkees. I guess so, if by "founding member" you mean he happened fit the costume. Don't get me wrong, I like the Monkees and Mickey was always my favorite, but didn't CBS have a whole lot more to do with the founding of the Monkees?
