I read an article on wirednews that a 19yr old was ticketed for blasting his car radio in town. The judge sentenced him to 4 solid hours of polka music in the police interrogation room. The recordings were by the recently deceased “Polka King,” forget his name. The article even mentioned a few tune titles, “The Blue Skirt Polka,” and “Who Stole the Kishka?” as well as a waltz or two. I’m assuming these were accordian tunes. (No offense intended to accordian players.)

Unless I’m sadly miostaken, rhw ‘polka king’ was Frankie Yankovic, not to be confused with Wierd Al Yankovic who is still with us, at least physically.
I wonder if there is an accordian playing Elvis impersonator somehere in the world…just imagine chestnuts like jailhouse polka or hunk-a-hunk of burnin’love polka working the fans up into a frenzy!

Frankie Yankovic is definitely the name mentioned. So, did he play accordian, or what? And what is a kishka, anyway. Sorry if this doesn’t relate to whistles. (Does it relate to music?)

A kishka is an intestine (or is it a kidney, a senior moment here). It’s yiddish and is generally used like “He’s eating out my kishka” or “I lost a kishka trying to work with that s-b” Peace Phil O.
