This follow-up to their debut album contains a ton of material, although some of the tunes don't translate as well to the recorded medium from the live setting. Least favorites of mine are "Clink, Clink, Another Drink," "Israelites," and "Cartoon Medly," but these are more than offset by stellar numbers from their more recent set lists. Their versions of various "non-polka" tunes (Shakira's "Objection," and a blistering cover of Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" just to name two) are incredible and show the range of this group of part-time musicians.
Other favorites from their Indianapolis shows at the Rathskeller have also been added, such as "In Heaven there is No Beer," and "Guitarzan," although one of my favorites, "Lili Marlene" is still missing. From the oldies files they have added everything from Rogers and Hammerstein ("Edelweis" from "The Sound of Music") to Robert Sherman ("I Wanna be like You" from Disney's "The Jungle Book") to Henri Mancini ("Charade"), while punching it up with the likes of Johnny Cash ("Folsom Prison Blues") and Simon and Garfunkel ("Late in the Evening").
A great compilation of fun music; if this doesn't make you get off your butt and move, you may be in danger of being officially declared dead!
