The part I played on te organ was not inspired by NY, NY. It was the easiest thing I could play on a keyboard. I have the pump organ and a piano but rarely play either of them.

I grew up listening to Lawrence Wlk on TV (my parents choice). Welk would often start a tune with "an a one an a two". He also would say "Wunnerful" when a song was done.

I don't think all polkas have an oom pa beat but I might be wrong.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group John Sargent https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/10-52-the-apocalyptic-polka-w-mp3/paged/2/#post-379419 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/10-52-the-apocalyptic-polka-w-mp3/paged/2/#post-379409 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 10:39:26 +0000
Musically it reminds me of this song

.........I'm not sure what that style of music in the video is called and I don't know my polka varieties, but I thought polka had an "UMP PA" beat.....yes/no?

I like the pump organ.
Was it intentional or sub-conscious that the instrumental sounds like the intro to Sinatra's "New York, New York"?

Thanks for sharing. :wink:

More importantly, -- this was a fun read. Sometimes silliness is just what's called for. Thanks for reading and commenting.
I just left music class where we discussed Roll Out The Barrel transitioning from the key of C to F. The ending of the F interlude became Bb Bb7 Gm G#dim F D7 G7 C7 F

Actually I don't care for the lyric except for the "cosmic accordion" and "apocalyptic polka" lines. It's all half asleep 3am foolishness.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group John Sargent https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/10-52-the-apocalyptic-polka-w-mp3/paged/2/#post-379235 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/10-52-the-apocalyptic-polka-w-mp3/#post-379234 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 19:39:51 +0000 Sunday Songwriters Group John Sargent https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/10-52-the-apocalyptic-polka-w-mp3/#post-379234 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/10-52-the-apocalyptic-polka-w-mp3/#post-379228 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 18:45:50 +0000 Sunday Songwriters Group andygetch https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/10-52-the-apocalyptic-polka-w-mp3/#post-379228 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/10-52-the-apocalyptic-polka-w-mp3/#post-379221 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 17:20:20 +0000

Thanks for the smile it brought to my face.
