Stan Wolowic and the Polka Chips

Artist: Stan Wolowic and the Polka Chips
LP: Stan Wolowic and the Polka Chips Play the Million Seller Polkas
Song: "Hoop-Dee-Doo"
[ listen ]

Hoop-Dee-Doo is right! Even when you think you're in no mood for dancing, Stan Wolowic and the Wilson Sisters will polka you in the ribs and get you up on your feet and twirling. That's what happened last night, anyway... and I discovered that my apartment floorplan (living room, dining room and kitchen connected in a circle with an island of stove, counter and fridge in the center) is a great setup for polka dancing.


"We sure do hope all the people will enjoy this album,"
says Stan Wolowic, whose idea it was to gather together
these all-time favorites and present them in the
style of his famous polka band
.

"Actually, the songs aren't all polkas, because every good
polka set has a few waltzes. We like to think of these as
polka-style waltzes—polka lovers will all know what I mean
.

"Because we wanted to have plenty of singing and fun in
every single tune, we've called on the Wilson Sisters to
sing along with the regular members of the Polka Chips
gang. They are almost regulars with us, for these are the
two wonderful girls who appear with us on television
.

"This is a very special album for all of us, one that was a
lot of fun to make. And when we listen to it ourselves, or
play these songs for dances, we'll be thinking about our
friends all over the country who may be thinking of us,
too, while they dance to our versions of these
wonderful songs."
