Was that Weird Al with the Accordion?

In the description of the final version, they explain how they come to be covering it:

This song has haunted me for years. Its a very famous well love Russian folk song, and its melody just wormed in to head. One day were where touring through Liepzig, Germany, and in fact we were standing in the shadow of Bach's cathedral, when this weathered old man walked by playing it on his accordion. I said to the band, "man, I would love to cover that song, and put thats guys playing as the intro to it!" But he walked past, and that was that.

Later that night, I turn another cobblestone corner, and there was the old accordion master again! So I hit record on my iPhone, and walked up to him and requested that song. He didn't speak english, I didn't speak German, but we both spoke music.

This album has 13 songs, and they are all amazing!

An accordion can't sound hardcore??? Below is the shit Gorgoroth and Satyricon jam-out to...



If if you think an accordion can't get more hardcore, check out what Roland has done for this head-bangin' chick magnet..

Ahhhh, gypsy music. This piece sounds great on accordion.

BY the way folks, if you wanna ensure yer child's future on planet now, teach 'em MandarinSL and the piano before they're five years old-Smooth-sailing, set for life. Oh, cobblings' a decent side-skill as well....Universal necessity, shoes.

The Space Lady (aka Suzy Soundz) is San Francisco’s most enchanting street musician. Whether on keyboard or accordion, her music stops sidewalk traffic even in this multi-task town. She usually performs wearing a whimsical steel helmet with angel wings, which makes her easy to recognize but belies the credibility of her haunting vocal interpretations of well known songs. The Space Lady, whose real name is Susan Dietrich, made only a full length CD of San Francisco sessions for sale. The disc features Susan performing live on Casio with effects.

Lyrics:

oh my god!

my bleeding heart bleeds blood for you, woah, woah

traveling down this lonely road, woah

facing my hurt, hurting my face, yeah yeah yeah

i chainsaw your face off, watching your brains rotting, kid
drain your veins raw, straining your esophagus

위하여, 음악에 미친 널 [we-hah-yeo, umage michin null]
위하여, 술잔에 비친 널 [we-hah-yeo suljane bichin null]
[translation: "cheers to you who are crazy for the music! / cheers to you who are reflected on the (wine) glass!"]

finding the truth
take it back
finding the truth
it's nothing
change
and tesselate
as we fight to the death

il mio amore è corrisposto

we all dance to the polka
for it is so fun
still dancing to the polka
with my accordion

love is everywhere
smoke is in the air

pick it up, pick it up!
oi! oi! oi! oi!
pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!
oi! oi! oi! oi!

a to z, z, z
a to z, z, z
a to z

as we cross the open seas
twoards the call of war
our axes we'll free
guided by the hand of thor

yeah yeah yeah
and our love will never end

That's not the Oom-Pa-Pa sound I expected out of the accordion!

Sounds like a deflating accordion!

Just moved to Seattle, I feel like I missed out on something.

He really was a huge Seattle icon since the 1950's. You should go and check out his statue located in Fremont [and don't forget the Fremont Troll under the Aurora Bridge if you do].
Each channel had their own kid's show. KOMO had Captain Puget [he was a bit dry for my taste]. KING had Stan Boreson who played the accordion and had pets [basset hounds Slo-Mo and No-Mo]. KSTW had Brakeman Bill who had sidekick named Crazy Donkey. It was fun growing up here. =o)


I live in the U District so I'll have to bike on over...too bad I missed the Solstice Nude thingie.
