| I love TMBG's major-key scathing commentaries of society! It's just great. | |

| It is TMBG's only polka, thus it is The Famous Polka. | |

| yea I think its more general than that, (I heard it as "...water skis as WE..." so i got a more group image tho.) I think its mocking idol worship in general, something i can relate to, I hardly know any celebrities by name, and people will sometimes do anything no matter how stupid and trivial to emulate their idols. | |
