I have to agree that the ending is awkward (he probably should've ended it with "get down girl"), but other than that, I enjoyed it.

I definitely like this polka a lot. This is much better than Angry White Boy Polka and about the ending - no problems for me and the accordion scaling is nice. Even after multiple listens I really enjoy this polka. Mucho.

I love the polkas to death, and this one is no exception.

However, I agree with what many have said... the ending just has no punch or finality.

These are not very very crappy mp3's. They are an average of 163 kbps (At least the ones I have) and the difference between CD quality and this is very small.

You say average so are these VBR because if so then that is incredible.

This song is hundreds of times better than AWBP... that was one of Al's worst polkas("Polka Party" was the absolute worst IMHO), so this one definitely made up for it.

I've never heard "Pon de Replay", but I love Al's take on it. That part is musically very good. I also like how Coldplay riffs sound on the accordion!

Oh yeah, this song has been leaked to P2P (as of Sept. 8th) so you might wanna add that to the timeline...

160VBR is hardly incredible...

Okay, so I caved and listened to just this song. I blame Jace.

Anyway.

What's with all the hate on Angry White Boy Polka? I liked that one.

But I guess it's because I'm one o' those crazy young'ns and I recognized the songs. Haha.

On a related note, I love this polka, as well! Though the ending was a bit slow for a polka, I still really enjoyed it.

There's still quite a noticeble difference in quality between these mp3s and the other ones that have been released. I mean compare the leaked copy of Don't Download This Song with the 160kpbs on the website: http://www.dontdownloadthissong.com/tracks/DDTS.mp3
