Weird Al's Polka Party! (1986), Tracks 1-6
Emboldened by the success of "Eat It" and "Like a Surgeon," Weird Al titled his fourth album Polka Party!, and the 1986 record-buying public shunned what they assumed was a full album of accordion music. It wasn't, but the title track was the latest of Al's reliable polka medleys rounding up the chart music of the day. This time around we've got #1 hits by two members of Genesis, the Queen of Soul's voice doing battle with mushy '80s production, and an inconsistent but underrated Australian band that Ben and Rich have bonded over for decades.Tracks:Peter Gabriel - SledgehammerPhil Collins - SussudioEddie Murphy - Party All the TimeLionel Richie - Say You, Say MeAretha Franklin - Freeway of LoveINXS - What You NeedCo-hosts: Rich Bunnell, Ben Marlin, Amanda RodgersLinks: "Sledgehammer" music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJWJE0x7T4Q"Urban Renewal," the hip-hop/R&B Phil Collins tribute album: https://www.discogs.com/release/1925875-Various-Urban-Renewal100+ pink Cadillacs at Aretha Franklin's funeral procession: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLTOnOUcLbUGet early access to bonus episodes on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/discordpodDiscord & Rhyme merch: http://tee.pub/lic/discordpod Other clips: "Weird Al" Yankovic - Living with a HerniaOtis Redding - Change Gonna ComeBo Carter - Please Warm My Wiener"Weird Al" Yankovic - Waffle King"Weird Al" Yankovic - Talk SoupPrince - 1999Genesis - MisunderstandingOl' Dirty Bastard - SussudioBrandy - Another Day in ParadiseKelis - I Don't Care AnymoreEddie Murphy - Put Your Mouth on MeSisqo - Thong SongJoe Pesci - Wise GuyEddie Murphy - My God Is Color BlindLionel Richie - You ArePhil Collins and Marilyn Martin - Separate LivesAretha Franklin & Eurythmics - Sisters Are Doin' It for ThemselvesLisa Simpson, Ann Wilson & Nancy Wilson - Sisters Are Doin' It for ThemselvesINXS - Need You TonightINXS - Don't ChangeINXS - Heaven SentEddie Murphy - Boogie in Your Butt
