What’s the best part of any “Weird Al” Yankovic album? It’s the polka medley! He was the first artist to satisfy that untapped need, that little place inside of us that says, “This is a great song, but it would be even better as a polka!” If you have an extra ten dollars lying around, you can pick up Weird Al’s (or would that be “Weird Al”’s?) latest album Straight Outta Lynwood, released today. Or if you are simply an aficionado of the sublime grace of the polka, you can spend those shekels on an iMix of all ten of Al’s polka medleys, culled from his twelve studio albums. Either way, it’s money well spent.
