Let’s get weird—Polka Party! weird. This week on the Beer’d Al Podcast, Lauren is joined by comedy musician, parody wizard, and all-around awesome human Insane Ian to dive into Side 1 of Weird Al Yankovic’s Polka Party! album.
We’re talking about everything from hernias to spuds, and we’re loving every minute of it. Tracks on the menu include:
- The James Brown sendup “Living with a Hernia”
- The Talking Heads-flavored “Dog Eat Dog”
- The deep-fried brilliance of “Addicted to Spuds”
- The delightfully unhinged original “One of Those Days”
- And of course, the frantic accordion madness of the title track, “Polka Party!”
Ian brings his deep-cut knowledge of comedy music, Lauren brings the beverages, and together they serve up a celebration of this oft-overlooked (but totally lovable) Al-bum. Crack open a cold one and join the polka party!
