Too Fat Polka

Post by Rommel72 »

Does anyone have or know of an arrangement of the Too Fat Polka for low brass quartet/ensemble? A group I play with is working on polkas for October performances and I think this one is a must have. Thanks.

Here in "P.C. Land" (San Francisco Bay Area) we announce and sing it as "Too Smart Polka" - Polkacide started the trend many years ago.

Now, that's actually pretty good.

That one might be even better!

We have a version we like in our book without a publisher or date on it but it has the names MacLean / Richardson.

On occasion, we've been known to stop playing and belt out a chorus using the words "she's too much for me."

Couldn't be any less politically correct than the 1977 Joe Tex tune "Ain't Gonna Bump No More With No Big Fat Woman"!
