Polka Varieties. I had an aunt who was dying of cancer and we made weekly trips to see her in Cleveland. Every Sunday morning: Polka Varities on Channel 5. Attended my share of Polish weddings. No DJs with CDs. Live Polka music. Those were the days!
I remember when I was growing up,we'd come home from church,mom turned on polka varieties,& finished making Sunday dinner. She even tried to teach me polka dancing,since she was Slovak. Boy,do I miss those days...
It is too bad the world moves so fast as to forget the good times us" old folks: had at dances like this. We need more--just once in a while--in big dance halls. You young folk, you haven't really learned what good, clean wholesome fun, dancong and drinkling can be---, but not too much- This is what music-is all about. PGL Canada
@paullacny -- You are so right. I've gotten tired of rock over the past few years, especially with the angst and the self-absorbtion and shallowness of the lyrics. My grandmother's generation had it right--they worked hard, they were dirt-poor, but they were happy. And they loved polkas. I've returned to my roots. And in what other style of music do you have so many happy people? Happy Louie, Happy Jack, Jolly Joe Timmer...
wow. This and Weird Al are completely different. But, it was also two very different times. That and WE recognize Al's music. But he wrote this himself.
I like anything that Frankie Yankovich is playing! Best music!

There will never be another Frankie Yankovic. And that makes me sad.
I love your videos Joe!
Bravo
Year 2013, still awesome as heck!
Like this list most of all. Frankie #1.
thank you!
amazing
we watched this every sunday from Alliance College in Cambridge Springs, PA
When I was a kid, I always thought that lyric (for the sake of rhyme) should be:
Tick, tick, tick, tock
Goes the wall on the clock . . .
Right on
You know, it doesn't get too bad after a while :) This is coming from a rock fan by the way :)

Sick drop
Nice. I like it.
I bought a BANJO just to add those TICKS to German tuba/concertina Polka recordings like Whoopie John
this song played at th pulaski polka days parade
What do you call the theme song to a lyme disease discussion that's limited to 7 seconds? Tick Talk Tik tok Tick Tock Polka?

The Accordion know how to play 2015
His friend Weird Al Yankovic used a piece of this awesome song in his "Polka Face".
@PicklesParodyPalace - Yoddle, yoddle-ay-he-hoo...

The other Polka King Besides ME!
@driedjello hehe polka, polish style :) greetings from pl
Brush MY teeth with a bottle of jagermeister.
Have a LP with Yellow rolls royce polka and mr Brown
Weird Al Yankovic (no relation) utilized a snippet of this polka in his latest polka medley before he sings "Tik Tok" by Ke-Dollar Sign-ha.
Correct! Weird Al’s was a tad faster and transposed to a major scale, though, but they are essentially the same.
Does anyone know who the second accordion is? .......what a fantastic arpegio lead! It is so bright!
wow. This and Weird Al are completely different. But, it was also two very different times. That and WE recognize Al's music. But he wrote this himself.
Do you know when this is from?
AWESOME SOUND. WHAT YEAR WAS THIS SONG ACTUALLY SUNG?? TOO BAD COLOR IS FADED.
I came from Steve t
hehehe, verjetno res, lol
It is an Italian Song (1920,) by G.Lama and F.Feola, know also as gira e rigira biondina. NOT slovenian!!
+Gian Paolo Albertazzi eh, they're next door
Who gives a rat’s ass?? It’s still sounds great.
Dont have Novak LPs .They where sold out at that time to secret musicstations .

Gavril Ștefan Dori
Gavril Ștefan Dorian cd
Only Slovenian polka is the true polka ..
Actually, Italians are the Kings of Polka-and of music in general. This is actually an English transcription of an Italian song.
but that Italian accordion music though
Whatever man this music is great either way
