Now that the release is just a week away, I hope we get a list of the songs sampled in the polka soon. I'd love to make sure I've heard all of them at least once before hearing it.

That video was really cool, and now I'm also hoping for a video in a similar style for the polka.
Also yeah, I'd like the song list before the 15th, too. I've been listening to the five parody targets over the last week and it'd be nice to familiarize myself with the polka targets as well. Then again, I think there were only one or two songs in Polka Face I hadn't heard before hearing the polka, so I'll probably be fine regardless. But it'd be nice.

Yes, if there's not a leak, this is the only spoiler left that I want to get.

I personally hope if there's a video for it, it's (or in the style of) Doogtoons, like TitDT.

As much fun as I think it would be to go into this polka completely blind (if not the entire album at this point), I wouldn't mind seeing a list of the songs in the medley so that I can make sure I'm familiar w/all of them.
I remember Jeremy posting a list of all the songs used in Polka Face after the first show of the 2010 tour. I couldn't say I knew "Break Yo Heart" or "Need You Know" that well. Luckily, I was able to check out those videos before hearing a YouTube recording of this polka thanks to that info. I'm hoping I can do the same thing if I run into a song in this medley I'm unfamiliar with.

I don't understand the mindset of wanting be familiar with the original songs from either the polka or the parodies. Who cares? What difference does it make? It's just music.....

For me, the Polka's have had more impact when I was familiar with the originals going into it. When you don't know the material, it just loses a lot.

Thank you for putting my feeling on this subject into a meme, much appreciated.

How can you properly understand a parody without being familiar with the original song? You're missing out on a huge part of the joke.
