Ah, it's that time of year. The earth shakes off it's shackles of winter, gets through the crazy weather of spring, and the first days of summer begin! Birds are busy twittering and building their nest to raise their young, animals of the forest begin to forage the tender sprouts of the warming earth, fruit trees burst in technicolor flowers, the first sprouts of other plants and flowers crack the surface of the earth and reach towards the sun, and the Nude Polka Kings begin their summer nude touring!
We at Big And Tall Records first heard about this group through one of our roving associates who is a polka aficionado. He went to their own polka hall where nudity is not an option; it is mandatory! Our associate was hesitant, but they would not let him in the door until he stripped! The price of admission included a locker to store their clothes in, so he did it! He told us that it was embarrassing at first, and there was more people sizing up other naked people than he thought there would be. After a few VERY personally embarrassing moments (which we will not elaborate on) he got used to the nudity, and had a good time talking to people, the band, even did some polka dancing, which he said was quite different with a body unhindered (and unsupported) by clothing.
So with this song, The Nude Polka Kings kick off their nude tour, at least at venues that support it. For others they will of course put their clothes back on! We haven't heard about what they said or did with Zbig Szafranski, the 84 year old Polish expatriate. Some say he's trying to get up a trip back to Poland as he hasn't been there for a long, long time. He left a wife and 3 children there, as he had a price on his head and have to leave quickly. They were supposed to join him later, but the Communist government stepped in and refused them passports. He has never found out what happened to them, if any are even still alive. Plus he's got many other members there. So we wish him a good trip if he can swing it.
There's also a rumor floating around that he's in hiding from 4 women who are suing him for child support! Not older children either, all 4 women allegedly have a baby under a year old that they say are his! Of course a DNA test could tell if it was true or not, and that's why he's in hiding! Be something if this was true!
This song by The Kings has some fine work by the band in instrumental sections of it. Make no mistake about it, nudity is a great gimmick to get attention, but these guys can really play!
