Nice. In is book Ethnic America, Thomas Sowell said that the German contribution to America was that it was OK to drink and have fun. Compare to the rather dour puritans. WI and MN have large German population. At my wedding long ago we had a small 3 piece polka band. I recall one was a tuba.

At football games males would pair up with cheerleaders and do the polka. No cheerleaders in this video.
