    Slap Me Silly, it's the BR Polka Thread!

    I just couldn't resist. You know you've got a good thing when you make the leap from longjohns to polka! :D

    So, what I would like to know is whether any of you crazies out there could see yourselves dancing along to some BR songs played in polka fashion, and, if so, which BR songs do you feel would best lend themselves to this style?

    I was listening to Blue House this weekend and I thought I could pick out a definitely polka-ish beat from the bass, so I nominate that one.






    Love and understanding are the best answers I've heard yet.

    I've gotta say "What Am I Doing Here" has a polka-ish beat to it.  LOL What a crazy thread! Stick out tongue

    You're right! It's got the right sound and beat for polka!

    I wonder where we could learn some steps to polka along at the next concert? :p

    Sammie, you're so right! And I forgot to post that you had previously mentioned Joker's Wild and Now and Forever.

    I love a good polka!  I think "5 Will Get you Six" would work really well.

    Re: Slap Me Silly, it's the BR Polka Thread!

     I think of "5 Will Get You 6" as more of a techno from the beat... But my Polka would 'Head Over Heals' would be mine! Lol.

    I recall Ray posting this choice in the other thread & he must have forgot to sign me out when he posted this from my computer today. I'd better go see what else has been attributed to me here today! Hmm Stick out tongue

    You'd better check the DTPBM thread also... something about tissues...?

     

    Back ON TOPIC: How does one dance the polka, anyway? :p

    I've already explained that one, Eniko. I am quite surprised you saw the first post under Ray's name...it was there for all of 5 seconds! Tongue Tied

    Anyway, one dances the polka as fast as one can!! At least that's how I like it!! Big Smile

    Graveyard, hunh? I guess I will have to have a listen and see if I can hear the dots... Too bad I don't have Tremolo in my purse. Only Outskirts, SM and tdib. (Plus Bryan Potvin's Heartbreakthrough)

    Okay everyone, connect the dots and polka!  Bouncy 4
