PH also had a Piano Man parody which was LONG before PH. I guess it is a possibility. Now that I think about it though, he did include KP in the last polka (I Kissed A Girl), so maybe Katy might be out all together.

OtaSH was one of Al's patented "classic rock song parodies about recent blockbuster movies" like The Saga Begins and Jurassic Park. It's a special case.

If there was one 2011 song that might be included, I would guess something from Adele's album "21". The album came out in 2011, but she remained a huge name throughout 2012 and 2013, so I wouldn't be surprised if Al reached back to one of her hits. And if not from "21" then maybe her Academy Award winning "Skyfall".

I'd guess Sail by AWOLNATION only because that song never really left the charts, and was probably charting the highest last year.

"Pumped Up Kicks" on the other hand, probably won't be on it.

Miley today is very different from the Miley of Party In The USA. I'd say there's a good chance of her popping up in the polka.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind that either. Especially now that we can count Blurred Lines, Royals and Happy out of the polka, Wrecking Ball is the other monster hit from that timeframe of 2013 that should appear on this album somehow.

I feel like Wrecking Ball has a very good shot of being in there. I'll point out that plenty of artists have been featured in more than one polka or a polka and a parody (Rolling STones, Madonna, Green Day, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson to name a few). In fact, there have been a few times that it's happened on the very same album (The Police, Eminem, Lady Gaga). With the polkas Al's just going for what's biggest, regardless of whether he already tackled the artist before.
