Sorry it's taken a while since the last post. I just got a new job and blah blah blah.
According to their web site, the Ampol Aires are currently in their 50th year. And with this gem, you can hear why. The Ampol Aires are masters of the polka...or something. I don't know. I actually picked this one up at CD Warehouse as a birthday present for a friend. Luckily they didn't have the CD loaded into their system, so I got it for free. Otherwise it would have cost a dollar.
The dorky-ass Energizer parody is really the star here. Also, I recommend the band history on their web site, which will teach you fascinating trivia such as the fact that "Ampol" is a portmanteau for American and Polish. Who knew?!
Listening to this CD, one can't help but muse on images of geriatrics creaking out onto a dance floor at some forsaken county fair. A painful thought and, all in all, a painful CD. Even if you like polka.
