about

I love polkas and that’s OK. So cut it out. This is the second tune on Other People’s Songs that is mostly mine but again, I wrote if I so long ago, I have no memory of composing it. Originally I wrote it for the Moderately Sized Orchestra and we played it live on the radio as The Cardiac Arrest Polka (see Painting By Numbers for that). We gave if quite a workout, so rather than compete I took another direction and made it part of a medley with some other polka tunes. Including the alcoholics anthem, “In Heaven There is No Beer” and the incredibly demeaning and sexist “Too Fat Polka.” So maybe I just like polka music and wish they wouldn’t sing. At least not in English.
