If I Had A Million Polkas

Ooh! Check out these pictures from lucky, lucky photographer Graham Hancock. Apparently, Barenaked Ladies brought Weird Al on stage to do a special POLKA VERSION OF “IF I HAD A MILLION DOLLARS”!!! How awesome is that? Man, I wish I could’ve heard that. Unfortunately, all we have to go on are these very nice pics of Al (in glasses?) and a spiffy looking light blue accordion… and our imaginations.

Update: No need to rely on imagination anymore! A couple resourceful commenters have tracked down the video. Too bad Al was incredibly shy and hid behind the speakers the whole time. Thanks so much Amy and Richard!

    Are those spectacles I spy on my close, personal friend? I just got LASIK a couple years ago…doesn’t give me a good feeling of where I’ll be in a few more. Cursed presbyopia!
