OK, I may just be clueless, so I'm going to ask the more educated when it comes to all things Al. Is Bohemian Polka a polka or a parody?
On one hand, it's done in a polka style. It has the original lyrics.
On the other hand, it's making fun of the original. It only includes one song, unlike other traditional polka medleys.
This is one of my favorite polkas, though.
So, may I get some help on this one? Thanks so much.

Why does it need to be locked? We don't have a "Bohemian Polka" topic yet.

Well, even though it was hyped as a "parody" when the album came out (which I think is merely just a matter of semantics), it's a polka all the way. A polka in Al's case does not necessarily have to be a medley ("Polkamon," for example), but it sure helps. ![:sly: :sly:](./images/smilies/sly.gif)
