Frank Yankovic, I've Got A Wife At Home Polka"

[@chevy266nova]

listening to Frank Yankovic music takes me back to happy times

[@daveking2184]

Who'd a thunk it. This is REALLY COOL MUSIC! This guy is a consummate performer. Polka? Cant believe I am here. Added to my list of favorite tunes of all time!

[@spiritchsr2279]

Recorded live in the studios of WEWS Channel 5 Cleveland, Ohio. The show called Polka Varieties, every Sunday at 1:00pm. with Host Paul Wilcox. Frank performed on the show quite often. Great Memories!

[@cornfedtuber]

Ghoulardi, Big Chuck and Hoolihan and Little John Friday nights, Mad Super Host on Saturdays (after Saturday morning cartoons and the 3 Stooges), and yes, Polka Varieties on Sunday (after Church). Great Cleveland and NE Ohio memories. And that's ALL I miss about Ohio. Down South where it's warm for the last 35 years!

[@mitchmatthews6713]

Remember, polkas are God's musical medicine. How can you feel bad listening to one of these?

[@alexkrieger483]

When you love what you're doing so much you crack up doing it. Now that's a fun job if I've ever seen one

[@user-yg4wi6zr8x]

Priceless!!!!! The Best ! R I P God Bless Frankie!

[@fydryszewskia]

I was at Alliance College in Cambridge Springs, PA, in the late 70's and we used to watch the Frankie Yankovic program on Sundays from Cleveland. What a great talent.

[@windstorm1000]

My cousin played with frankie for years---all kinds of stories. and my Dad took the cover photos for one of his WI albums! So I got polka in my veins.

[@gotthilfwicki2221]

schade haben wir den Frank nicht mehr. immerhin die musik bleibt uns!!

[@Hrvatguy]

This is a classic song! Great post Joe!. I remember sitting around as a kid my dad playing this song on the old LP and him having a smile on his face. I also liked how Frankie and Joey kind of lost it there laughing, great song by a great performer, the King, Frankie Yankovic!

[@windstorm1000]

I knew Frankie--my cousin, best accordion player in Midwest was often in his band and Frankie also was guest in cuz's band. I'm proud to say my photographer Dad did cousin's --one of them--album cover--with Frankie as guest player!!

[@stanleydomalewski8497]

Chorus: I’ve got a wife at home I’ve got a wife at home I’ve got a wife, she’s the apple of my life But I wish she would leave me alone When I hear “Hang your clothes up! Wipe your feet off! Goodness sake, don’t slam the door! Fix the socket! Dry the dishes! Can’t you do a single chore?! Hang the picture! Set the table! Don’t drop ashes on the floor! Heap the firewood! Turn the baby! You don’t love me anymore!” He don’t love her anymore There he goes right out the door He’ll be back ‘bout half past ten And then she’ll start right in again. (Chorus) When I hear “Tack the shade up! Wash the windows! Wipe the handprints off the door! Change the light bulbs! Scrub the bathtub! Pick the toys up from the floor! Tape the lamp cord! Make some coffee! Burn the garbage! Oil the door! Get the kids and call my mother! You don’t love me anymore!” He don’t love her anymore There he goes right out the door He’ll be back ‘bout half past ten And then she’ll start right in again. Oh, I’ve got a wife at home I’ve got a wife at home I’ve got a wife, she’s the apple of my life [But I wish she would leave me alone]

[@slumdogpreacher6964]

[@FarmallDoctor]

Fantastic!!

[@Janitorscage]

I like the bass players shell necklace.

[@jessegrd071163]

Good song. Good polka. Nice.

[@mosrite60]

Joey Miskulin played second accordion with Frankie. Frankie is the King, but Joey is also an amazing accordion player. Together, they cannot be beat. certainly. mos60

[@mirix1515]

If he was not amazing he wouldn’t have play next to Frankie

[@mrmoofle]

Every time I listen to this, my wife is like "Hey! Are you trying to tell me something?"

[@espinak]

Great video. Dwight Gobley on banjo.

[@shutdafup]

[@Jeaniesunshine-fb5rk]

I was married to German, Yugoslavia in laws. we would go with them to Covina Calif. I drank than it was fun !!!

[@joegodina]

Frank Yankovic and "Weird AL' were NOT related in any other than having the same last name, to those who asked about it.

[@domc36]

They are brothers.

[@removeyourclothing9799]

Dom Carano Janković

[@cornfedtuber]

Joe is correct. FEQ on Al's site allows they are not related although they were friends for many years.

[@kristalynkristalyn2804]

@@domc36 they aren’t brothers . Frankie Yankovic is my grandfather

[@robertseegers2488]

I see these guys really have no fun doing what they do!! LOL

[@lonewolf5977]

[@420dredog]

Whoever was asking... YES!! weird al and frank were closely related. Can't remember exactly but I think al is Frankie's grand son.

[@alexmood6407]

420dredog all Slovenians are related anyway.

[@davidvictor52]

Proverb: A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm; restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.

[@grumblemouth]

I love how he can't finish one of the verses because he's laughing so much

[@bonniegreen3286]

Yet he makes a point to come back in with his accordion right in time! perfect

[@needlenitz18]

There shouldn't be a dislike button

[@firepipernickb]

does anyone know if this was recorded on a cd

[@8ntnomo]

A group did this song in the 60's. The Mark IV.

[@yankeejedi2575]

Listen and learn ladies.

[@mralmeister1]

frankie rox...

[@tootmaster2000]

@eamodec pretty sure that Frank is Al's father

[@cheyanqui]

Wow. Sounds like Norteña. Reminds you just how much it is influenced by polka.

[@CJDate]

@tootmaster2000 Weird Al is not closely related to Frankie.

[@ckennepohl]

@Xepherya - that would have been the wife....

[@jgjperlman]

bobbie, cissy and Pit Bull are rap collaborators, naw, but I had ya going! :-)

[@shecky308]

Who stole the T-bones??

[@eamodec]

[@knightrider691]

Not related but did play together at least once.

[@jormor44]

@tootmaster2000 No relation, actually.

[@2002Match]

4 people don't have wives

[@CosmopolitanFools]

SO where is Weird Al Yankovic ?

[@user-yg4wi6zr8x]

[@TressonKaru]

[@schmittenhammer]

Only in Cleveland, and we wonder why the rest of the country makes fun of us.

[@windstorm1000]

+wolfgang schmittenhammer not just in Cleveland--Milwaukee too!

[@astraworthington4348]

They shouldn’t! Polka is awesome and I’m a Anglo Southerner 😁 it’s the one thing I won’t make fun of you Yankees for!
