Wasn't so sure on my first listen, but I can definitively say that this is my favorite Polka :accordion:

You know, it might just be the fact that "NOW That's What I Call Polka!" is so good that it's taken so many replays to realize some omissions that could've easily made this medley.

In particular, I think "I Love It" by Icona Pop would've sounded spectacular being polka'd. But I know a lot of paperwork goes into this sort of stuff, so I understand the absence.

Overall I really dig this polka. It's really good.

However, I think it kinda slows down at the "Sexy And I Know It" part. While I do dig that song by LMFAO...it's old enough to have been in the one on Alpocalypse. Easily could've pulled that one out and added another song.

I decided to fact-check this. "Alpocalypse" and "Sorry for Party Rocking" came out on the same day. So, you're right but also wrong at the same time. :wacko:

It does seem to me like this polka is at least one song short. Which song would you have included, and where?

I still say Sara Bairelle's "Brave" should have been in there. Probably would have fit in nicely between "Call Me Maybe" and "Scream and Shout".

Not only does it feel a song short, but Get Lucky doesn't quite have the rhythm of the last song in the polka, until the final "She's up all night to get lucky," then the breakdown.

I was rooting for "I Knew You Were Trouble" to be in there, complete with goat sounds.
