Polka Song???

Private User, on September 24, 2015 at 3:12 PM Posted in Community Conversations 1 3

Hi everyone! I have officially 9 days until the big day (yay!). But I'm trapped on one issue. Obviously nothing major, just needing a good Polka song for the wedding. My husband to be has family that's really into the Polka (haha) and when his sister didn't play on at her wedding, they were pretty upset. SO I'm hoping to not do the same thing.

Anyone have any ideas? NOT the Chicken Dance (hard to believe that some people consider that an actual Polka song).

    Sorry I don't know any names...you maybe could try youtube and look up "wedding polka" or something? I have seen them done before, though, and it's tons of fun...I hope you find a good one!!

    We will be playing at least one Polka at our wedding, too - family traditions, and they are fun! There are not too many of my family members still living that can dance a polka, but it brings back a lot of fun memories. Here is what I found when I Googled "wedding polkas" - most of them I didn't know the names of the songs but recognized when I heard them.

    I'm old enough to remember when people had polka bands for wedding receptions and all that was played were polkas, waltzes and a few novelty songs like the Hokey Pokey--this is pre-chicken dance! The best polka band is Frankie Yankovic, IMO. You don't want the Too Fat Polka--it talks about a woman who is "too fat for me", very embarrassing for any guest who is overweight. I live in Pennsylvania so naturally I'm partial to the Pennsylvania Polka. You also don't want the Just Because polka--part of the lyrics are "I'm telling you honey, I'm through with you, because, just because." The Beer Barrel Polka and In Heaven There Is No Beer are fun "party" polkas. And Frankie Yankovic has done all of them. (I have all my late father's polka albums and we are having a few at our wedding, too--I'm Hungarian!)
