List of "Weird Al" Yankovic Polka Medleys - Other Polka Medleys

Other Polka Medleys

• A 1986 television special "Weird Al's Guide to the Grammys" featured Al and fellow accordionist Frankie Yankovic (no relation) performing a short polka medley of Grammy nominees. It included the songs "Born in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen, "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits, "The Boys of Summer" by Don Henley, "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News and "We Are the World" by USA for Africa (both "Money for Nothing" and "We Are the World" would later be parodied by Yankovic, the former as "Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies*" for the film UHF and the latter as an element in the charity record style parody "Don't Download This Song" on Straight Outta Lynwood).
• The uncut version of the "Alternative Polka" (including the "Buddy Holly" verse) was scheduled to be released on the "Gump" single, but it wasn't included. However, on August 22, 2009, Yankovic released the "Buddy Holly" portion of The Alternative Polka on Twitter.
• In 2000, Yankovic recorded an original non-medley polka song, entitled "Polkamon", for the Pokémon: The Movie 2000 soundtrack.
