If every #KingCrimson #Beatles or #MoodyBlues album had a Lawrence Welk #accordion solo coming out of their #Mellotron

If they happen to sound really cool run through phasing or whatever?

The world might be a happier place 🌼 🪗

#PolkaMania 2029

@UkuleleG3orge
Still betting on joint global #Polka / #Accordion revivals when the accordion turns 200 in 2029 and #Polkamania sweeps the globe on its own bicentennial return in the 2030s

Then maybe we’ll get some think pieces to sort it out

@toddsundsted
My wild prediction is for a grand third #polka revival to sweep the globe at the same time

First #Polkamania 1820s, second Polkamania 1930s, third Polkamania 2030s 🎉

That might naturally coincide with an #accordion upheaval and i got to tell #WeirdAl he predicted it

Fruit-fly 🍌 infestation combined with incessant ear-worm replays of #WeirdAlYankovic’s latest single #PolkaMania may be a sign of #AI or alien life trying to make contact

Or it could be from interviewing #WeirdAl 🪗 for this week’s episode of @accordionnoir radio about his #Polka career 1830s–2030s

The podcast is up to stream or download with an annotated playlist featuring links 🔗 videos and witty 1840’s French “Polkamanie” engravings at:

I set fly traps ✨🪰

🪗 The 1840s predated the global popularity of the #Accordion because the new instruments were still too expensive for most people until The Franco Prussian War in the 1870s smashed the French economy and brought the prices down 💀

@datum @tangleofwires
I may play it this week if I swipe it off YouTube

I recently asked for an interview with #WeirdAlYankovic to talk about #Polka and his new #PolkaMania single for @accordionnoir radio, so I could wait to play it if he responds

Maybe I could hit up #TheLindaLindas to ask about working with #WeirdAl and recording his I think distorted
#accordion?

That could be fun

@meganL
This is super helpful because I’m about to hit #WeirdAl up for an interview to talk about #polka and his relationship with it, because of his #polkamania single that just came out

So this is great background

@inkican
I may mention this if I get to interview #WeirdAl about his new #polkamania single

The original “polkamania” (they called it that) was a global dance fad in the 1830s

The Beer Barrel #polka (“Roll Out the Barrel”🍻) saved the recording industry during the Depression in the 1930s

I’m predicting a bicentennial revival in the 2030s

I’ve got a list of things to ask him though 🪗

Depressed? Sad? You don't want to miss this. "WeirdAl" is doing his #Polkamania thing and makes the dark clouds disappear
https://youtu.be/y0ZoX4dBvwk?si=wtPSI4IX4acpQ40t

So excited to have more Weird Al in my life, but it seems crazy that A) it's been 10 years since his last album B) that all these songs came out since then.

Shake It Off and Uptown Funk came out just after his last album and holy cow, they're also ten years old.

Psst - this is important.

Weird Al dropped a new polka summary track filled with assorted pop music.

He included WAP.

@WeirdAlex03
I was just talking to somebody about the original #Polkamania in the 1830s, and the massive #polka revival in the 1930s, which leads me to predict a global Polka re– revival in the 2030s

You heard it here first

Wow, that's wild

Key steppingstone towards #Polka's big 2030's bicentennial revival of #Polkamania

@SrRochardBunson @rnf

We’re about due for another return of an #accordion revival I’d say

There’s also the grand #PolkaMania bicentennial which in the 1930s and 40s centennial years coincided with a revival of #Polka music that quite literally saved the recording industry during the Great Depression

So by 2036 or so I’d definitely anticipate a grand polka/accordion conjunction of some sort ❤️‍🔥🪗

@SrRochardBunson @geschichtenundmeer @mcv
The pieces are ready for the next #polkamania

If a hot #norteno band or #Selena hits like #LaMacarena that will do it

Honestly, I think a crossover #cumbia is more likely, but I like the symmetry of a #polka revival

#Polka stormed the globe with the original #Polkamania in the 1830s 💃🏽 🪩 🕺🏽

And returned to the top of the international pop charts in the 1930s when the #BeerBarrelPolka is said to have single-handedly saved the American recording industry during the #GreatDepression 🪗🍺

So the 2030s may well see an equally dramatic resurgence of 2/4 glory 🎵

@natalie
Simple dance music fad that went global ✅

If it comes back in 2180 then #eurobeat will have rebounded as well as #polka’s first two times in the spotlight (1830s & 1930s)

The world is due for a third wave of #polkamania within the next ten years

Can’t come fast enough
