Just learned that Barry Mitchell, Accordian Guy Extraordinaire, has a new website: www.barryfunny.com Alas, the fabulous "World News Polka" is not available for download from that site--I suspect ABC must be jealously guarding the rights, as would be perfectly in character for The Mouse.
But you can hear the polka in .rm format at the Network News Music site . . . and Barry's site features the polka lyrics and other great stuff, including his new "Parking around the Shopping Mall" music video. Of the latter, Barry tells me:
Are the words on the screen? Yes. Is there an accordion? Of course. Do I sing off key? Definitely.
It's a trifecta! Now . . . everybody sing:
Politics and foreign wars / All the weather, all the scores / That's the World News Polka.
Business news from Tokyo, / Stuff you saw on Koppel's show / That's the World News Polka.
It's late at night, you're wide awake / And you're not wearing pants.
So grab your World News Now mug / And everybody dance! . . . .
Who cares what the bosses think? / They're a Goofy crew.
And if your neighbors call the cops / Here's all you have to do:
When they yell, "It's half past three!" / Tell them, "Hey -- it's news to me!"
That's the World News Polka!
