It's time to polka,
For Ponyta and Pidgey too,

And try not to step on little Pikachu,
You'd better grab yourself a partner,
Like Tentacruel or Bulbasaur,
Hold on a minute,
There's still at least 127 more,

Including Ledyba and Omastar,
Jynx, Bellossom, and Magmar,
Geodude and Arcanine,
Jigglypuff and Mr. Mime,
Don't forget about Sandslash,
Exeggcute and Rapidash,
Lickitung and Porygon,
Everybody Polkamon!
Everybody Polkamon!
Everybody Polkamon!

The daughter loves it because she can dance to it and it's all about Pokemon. I like it cause it's Al. The wife thinks we are both off our rockers.

I have spent a good part of the last five minutes clicking on the names ... and I don't even care for those characters (or Pokeman) all that much ... but something to do ... nice post, Ryan.

I suppose it would take forever to load if the images were directly linked, but it certainly would be a colorful lyric.

I really like Polkamon! I used to be a Pokemon fan, so it was always fun to listen to this song. I still love it for the accordion, if nothing else. I love the line "And try not to step on little Pikachu!" :lol: That's a great line!

Ah, yes... I was a HUGE Pokémon fan when that song came out (I was COMPLETELY obsessed with it). And I had been a fan of Al long before, so when I heard he was doing a song for the 2nd Pokémon movie, I got SO excited.

I also remember an MP3 of the song leaking into the Internet before the movie came out. I made every effort to memorize the song then so I could sing along at the movie. Needless to say, I was quite disappointed to find out the song was shortened... but oh well.

That song is very special to me because it brings back memories of when I was a Pokémon fan... (I kinda lost interest around the Gold/Silver time, and completely lost interest once the trading card game got ruined. [yes, I actually PLAYED the game instead of just collecting the cards and obsessing over the holographic ones] I need to pick up Ruby and Sapphire to catch up!) I remember sitting in that theater when I was about 10 years old and actually getting goosebumps once I heard that accordion and Al naming off all those Pokémon over the end credits. In fact, I STILL get goosebumps when I hear the song!

I'm also pretty sure that song got some heavy rotation on RadioDisney while that movie was in theaters...
