About
Polka Party! is the fourth album by song parodist "Weird Al" Yankovic, released in 1986. This album is known for having three of its four parodies be of theme songs to then-recent movies: Rocky IV ("Living in America" parodied into "Living with a Hernia"), Ruthless People ("Ruthless People" parodied into "Toothless People"), and Short Circuit ("Who's Johnny?" parodied into "Here's Johnny"). To date, this is Yankovic's lowest-selling album. This is also the only album by "Weird Al" that is named after one of his polka medleys.
