	6:20pm ErinSmile: EAUH YEAH
	6:21pm Mokka Matti: @Destroit, you should then really check out Finnish Tango - much different from the Argentinian variety - and IMO much better, but I'm just a wee bit biased.

	6:23pm paddy in matawan: The Pennsylvania Polka is now in a tourism commercial for PA that features a lot of beer.
	6:24pm clarke: jive talkin'!
	6:24pm Destroit: This show has been wildly educational for me. A few years ago, no idea polka was so worldwide. Stashu is so goddamn entertaining, it kept me listening and now i have a crude understanding of the genre.
	6:24pm Erin in TO: Disco Polka is definitely the kind of experience I come to WFMU for
	6:24pm swivs: WE DANCE!!! Hey Joe, errrrrybody!!! Spinning around with my 3 & 5 yo nieces!!! Seriously just ate pasta and peanut butter for “dinner”!!! WHAT A COUNTRY

	6:26pm Deb: Disco polka? That’s a total dis to polka
	6:27pm Joe McG: @Marley: Going through those 45s..some good stuff! Thx again! :) @Cooh John: Oh, indeed! My home.
	6:27pm lazy pierogi: pasta w peanut butter. fusion food according to my opinion

	👻 6:29pm Marley P. Dogg: Joe McG - enjoy! Sadly, there were no polka 45’s in there
	6:29pm The Butterman: Whatashow! Whataguy! McTastic! Polkadelic!

	👻 6:30pm LastWhiteRhino: Bobby , of Sissy and Bobby???
	6:31pm alanSixº: ah yes the highlight of every new jersey italian wedding
	6:31pm Mokka Matti: There's good Disco and then there's disco abuse, like everything else.
	6:31pm Stashu: What came first? The chicken dance or the egg?
	6:31pm alanSixº: i use highlight loosely
	6:32pm paddy in matawan: I don't know how to do any of the silly wedding dances but if I had to learn one....
	6:32pm swivs: @destroit I dig Thai (shirt good too) but this was a bowl of Kraft elbow macaroni, with a side of peanut butter. Niece food, not from south of France. @Alan checkin in to pasta rehab after 2 weeks with my Italian mom
	6:32pm clarke: how are ya now? - not s'bad!
	6:32pm Joe McG: Hope you're all practicing at home along with Stashu's DVD.
	6:32pm Dan from Delco: Shake your tail feather
	6:32pm Erin in TO: @Stashu the chicken dance is eternal, it has always been with us
	6:32pm still b/p: Son-in-law of Floren. And sometimes on the Welk show, Myron kicked ASS! And Bobby, well, bless his heart, he didn't kick ass.
	6:33pm Joe McG: Yay or Nay: I have Myron Floren's Disco Polka album here....
	6:33pm Andrew_in_WI: @clarke I don't recall anyone reminiscing about a salad ever.

	6:35pm Stashu: Joe has Polka in his blood!!!! 🩸
	6:35pm clarke: i would not YAY the ENTIRE album. one cut. yay.
	6:35pm Destroit: Swivs - oddly, wife and i were just talking about how we should do more experimenting with peanut butter sauces. You have my mind racing with food thoughts. Will attempt a PB, jalepeno, onion, garlic sauce thing, mix with noodles and report back next week
	6:35pm Fishtown Mike: Fun fact: there's a Myron Floren CD that was mispressed with a Sex Pistols album and distributed in sometime the 80's.
	6:35pm Joe McG: Hope you're all dancing! This isn't Dance with Me Stanley without dancing. So far, all YAY to Myron. He'll be back soon.

	6:39pm joe mulligan: Never Not Scratchin'!! nonstop chicken
	6:39pm Dan from Delco: Stop he’s already dead
	6:40pm alanSixº: ok for marathon if the plague allows
	👻 6:40pm chresti: Peck-a-polka
	6:40pm Fishtown Mike: @Andrew, no doubt. The bubuska that bought it, not so much.

	6:40pm Claire from Montclair: Sing a long!
	6:41pm lazy pierogi: is there an eleanor rigby polka?

	6:43pm clarke: yipe!
	6:44pm ErinSmile: wow Myron took a left turn with this one

	6:44pm Destroit: Turns are exciting!
	6:45pm TheRealMattClarke: I scream you scream

	6:45pm gauche knee: Surface Polka?! Dance with me, McGasko?! Love love Stashu but this is a fun treat!
	👻 6:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: Maybe a polka hoe-down at Monty Hall when things are back to normal (2027, at the rate it's going).

	6:45pm Colleen: best station ever
	6:45pm markinbrooklyn: Is there a turkey hill polka?

	6:45pm Vanessa Tara: i scream, we all scream for polka!!!
	6:46pm Mokka Matti: There used to be some wonderful rotisserie chicken available in one the restaurants along the beach in Scheveningen (Netherlands). Haven't been there since I was 16 (first and last time), which seems really bizarre now that I ever was.
	6:46pm Joe McG: Whoopsie! We'll get you that Myron Floren soon, I swear! Have to find it here somewhere....
	6:46pm clarke: Sealtest - somehow called Seal Lilly in mississippi
	6:47pm alanSixº: i never woulda remembered sealtest ice cream existed if not for this magic of radio moment
	6:47pm Michael 98145: Is there a Mister Softee Polka?
	6:47pm lazy pierogi: sage advice, Mr Mcgaski
	6:48pm Destroit: VaporPolka? That’d be hot.
	6:48pm Erin in TO: I feel no regret in voting pro-disco polka
	👻 6:48pm LastWhiteRhino: @clarke: Stumpf Fiddle
	6:48pm clarke: oh ship!! (as in boat) play this whole muthah!!!
	6:48pm ErinSmile: What song is this really, when it isn't the "Disco Accordion"? I recognize the melody
	6:49pm Glistener MW: !!!!! Tuning-in at the exact second this tune was starting exhibited such feelings of shock and delight that shan’t ever be replicated
	6:49pm ErinSmile: or is it another chicken?

	6:50pm Mokka Matti: Definitely Clarinet Polka.
	6:50pm still b/p: How great would it have been on the Welk show to see those middle-agers and elders dancin' disco when the camera would get those few shots of the close-quarters action like it did every week?
	6:50pm gauche knee: Polka Party with DJ Stashu swoon from @Ken’s comment to god’s noise cancellation headphones.

	6:23pm paddy in matawan: The Pennsylvania Polka is now in a tourism commercial for PA that features a lot of beer.
	6:24pm clarke: jive talkin'!
	6:24pm Destroit: This show has been wildly educational for me. A few years ago, no idea polka was so worldwide. Stashu is so goddamn entertaining, it kept me listening and now i have a crude understanding of the genre.
	6:24pm Erin in TO: Disco Polka is definitely the kind of experience I come to WFMU for

	6:31pm alanSixº: ah yes the highlight of every new jersey italian wedding
	6:31pm Mokka Matti: There's good Disco and then there's disco abuse, like everything else.
	6:31pm Stashu: What came first? The chicken dance or the egg?
	6:31pm alanSixº: i use highlight loosely
	6:32pm paddy in matawan: I don't know how to do any of the silly wedding dances but if I had to learn one....
	6:32pm swivs: @destroit I dig Thai (shirt good too) but this was a bowl of Kraft elbow macaroni, with a side of peanut butter. Niece food, not from south of France. @Alan checkin in to pasta rehab after 2 weeks with my Italian mom
	6:32pm clarke: how are ya now? - not s'bad!
	6:32pm Joe McG: Hope you're all practicing at home along with Stashu's DVD.

	6:35pm Stashu: Joe has Polka in his blood!!!! 🩸
	6:35pm clarke: i would not YAY the ENTIRE album. one cut. yay.
	6:35pm Destroit: Swivs - oddly, wife and i were just talking about how we should do more experimenting with peanut butter sauces. You have my mind racing with food thoughts. Will attempt a PB, jalepeno, onion, garlic sauce thing, mix with noodles and report back next week
	6:35pm Fishtown Mike: Fun fact: there's a Myron Floren CD that was mispressed with a Sex Pistols album and distributed in sometime the 80's.
	6:35pm Joe McG: Hope you're all dancing! This isn't Dance with Me Stanley without dancing. So far, all YAY to Myron. He'll be back soon.
