Save you guys a click.

Mark Capps, who won four Grammys for his work on polka albums, was killed during an encounter at his home.

Forget about Capps, there's a whole generation of kids listening to polka getting influenced by this stuff. And the cycle repeats.

The infamous 1890's East Coast / West Coast Polka beef was never quite squashed.

Just like that, Weird Al's dad from the movie is justified.

Well obviously anyone who wins Grammys for POLKA music should be on a watchlist.

So the actor who plays his dad put out a CD of bawdy Christmas music under the name Rudy Casoni. The whole album is like horny holiday Sinatra.

In 1998 I was working as a Manager in hotel convention center. There was a annual Polka convention, that was the longest weekend of my life. All my staff were annoyed by the music and the cheap ass guest. I had never had to bribe staff to stay till that weekend.

0/10 would not reccomend.

Click bait titles are so low effort but work so well. It's one of the reasons I prefer reddit to news sites.

I feel guilty everything I see a news link saying "Marvel Stars Painful Message Before Suicide" with a picture of Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman. I knownits just gonna be some background actor that no one has ever heard of that played a background character with maybe one line. Bonus points for the times when it happened months or years ago

Didn't save much. People still want to watch the video. Especially when it seems the cop straight up murdered the guy with his hands down (from what I saw frame by frame there was no way he was a threat).
