I have some troubling news for the Midwest: the Grammys have eliminated the all important Best Polka Album category. Yes, yes, it’s true. Take a moment to let it sink in.
According to the Associated Press, it’s time to put away the accordions because polka is no longer relevant in today’s musical landscape. That’s okay, polka. You’ll always have a friend in me. Where else would I get my daily dose of oompa-loompa music to wake me up every morning?

Flags are already at half-staff here in Chicago. I’ve also seen a number of sturdy women mournfully boiling kielbasa whilst beating their ample peasant bosoms.
OMG! Just came from the dentist finding out I need a molar crown…and now THIS! Can my day get any worse?
Beese (that’s my shorthand for your handle), it’s just oompa music.
Oompa loompa music is the music that is sung when you’re kicked out of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factor.
