That was my thinking too. And the fact that it has virtually no lyrics makes it a good contender for that "Chicken Dance" style intro.

Harlem Shake does make a lot of sense as a false start, since right when it would go into the breakdown would make a great point to break into the polka.

I'm torn. Harlem Shake would make a great false start, but "Come With Me Now" by Kongos would make an incredible false start. (That being said, the latter is a little too new, so I doubt it's in the polka at all. But can you imagine if it was? Holy cow would that be appropriate.)

I highly doubt there's not gonna be Lorde's "Royals" in it. This song is begging to be polkafied, with its already polkarranged backing vocals.

Except "Foil" is probably already a parody of "Royals."

We're pretty sure "Royals" is being parodied in a song called "Foil."

A-ha. Thanks. Well, you never know, right.

... But it's such a boring song to sing! I mean, really. It's slow, and let's face it, uninspired and medium-catchy. Al had always chosen more energetic and catchier songs, it belongs to a polka a lot more.

Not always. He's parodied some low-key songs before. Headline News, Syndicated Inc. ( ), Trapped in the Drive Thru

But I agree, Royals is extremely boring. The good news is that Al tends to speed up the parodies slightly.

In comparison to Royals, Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm is a full-on hard-rock punk merry-go-round grindcore.
