Not at all! I am going to make you wait until the end of my lunch though. :)

Suzanne? If so, she and Nina were both making the stomped-weasel noises.

Useless observation:

Between the artists in the polka and "Blurred Lines" (counting collaborators), this album has a lot of artists that have been either polkafied or parodied more than once. Probably a record:
Spoiler:
Miley Cyrus: "Party in the USA" & "Wrecking Ball"
T.I.: "Whatever You Like" & "Blurred Lines"
Britney Spears: "Womanizer" & "Scream and Shout"
Will.I.Am: "Let's Get it Started" & "Scream and Shout"
Kesha: "Tic, Toc" & "Timber"
Pharrell Williams: "Blurred Lines," "Get Lucky," & "Happy"

What can I say? I love the album, as well as this polka as I said late lastnight, however I just can't believe there was no
Spoiler:
Katy Perry
in this polka (or even a parody), I know she was in the last polka but perhaps it has to do with "timing" ? This past fall after she released
Spoiler:
"Prism"
I thought it would have been a no-brainer, I might be the only one though. :|

There are always a lot of songs/artists that "should" be represented on an Album, especially with a three-year gap between albums. He only uses 16-19 songs on an album, so he can't include everything. I do agree that the polka could have used another one or two segments, but I thoroughly enjoyed it regardless, and I love that he spent more time on certain songs than he usually does.

That's true too, I'm glad he broadened with some songs over the past few years. And me too, it's one of those things where each time I listen, I actually am enjoying it even more! All the transitions were amazing as well. :)

The only song that would have disappointed me if it weren't on the album is
Spoiler:
Gangman Style. As it is undeniably the biggest pop hit of the last three years and was such a huge part of pop culture, it would have been a glaring hole if he had left it out.

I do kind of wish that 2 of the songs (either GoodEnoughForNow or WellWellWell) originally rumored to be in it were featured. They got me excited: Party Rock Anthem, and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Suit & Tie, Cups, & Moves Like Jagger would've been fun. But, hey, I wasn't expecting Timber or Scream and Shout. Either way, great polka. Could've been longer/more inclusive is all I'm saying, but its not like I'm disappointed.
