Someone in my building is blaring polka.
It's the same song, over and over, and all I can hear is the low notes. It sounds like it's being played on a crappy synthesizer or an organ. I haven't heard anything this obnoxious since my neighbors used to get loaded and blare klezmer all night. Don't get me wrong. I like klezmer and I'll gladly polka the night away, but... the same four bars over and over... gaahhh...

I want to pelt them with cabbage.

1. You have my deepest sympathy
I hate it when all you can hear (feel?) are the lowest notes of something. It's very stomach-rumble-inducing. Hang in there.

3. Sounds like legitimate legal defense to me
"The polka! The polka made me do it!"

5. Does Weird Al live there?
His are the only polkas I hear. I really liked the Angry White Boy Polka. Hilarious.

7. I grew up with listening to polka music.
Across the highway was a dance hall that had polka dances on weekends, and when the wind was right it was polka all night long.

My grandparents were great polka dancers, even in old age.
