The Pennsylvania Polka (1969)

About a million elderly people watching at home just had Fred Sanford-style heart attacks. 🤣

This got a huge laugh out of me! I can picture my grandparents sitting down watching this..

[@julierideout4317]

Love it!

[@michaelbrandt5416]

Only watched reruns of the show in the late 70s, but loved it. I listen to all genres old and new. Mr. Welk certainly had class and maintained a clean image all the way. Grateful that this clip was uploaded a bit clearer. Miss shows like this. Makes me sad that no one today have enough imagination to create anything worth listening to, with an occasional exception here and there.

I'm intrigued by this newfangled group "The Toydulls".

[@eandsm4620]

fun, Fun, and more pure FUN!!! Thanks for posting. LW, well, he cannot sing worth s***!

[@tonygoodheart2442]

Lawrence Welk Just wanted to Spice up the show with Rock music!

Man, the guy get second hand reefer from someone's jacket in the audience and he's suddenly frontlining Welk-Stock

When your band shared players with Frank Zappa, this surreal bit is easy to pull off. Welk's guitarist Neil Le Vang played Strat on “Who Are The Brain Police?” on Freak Out! and other tunes with session players. Millions of people first saw a Fender strat after Welk hired Buddy Merrill in 1955. They played what Welk paid them to play. Millions of fans said there’s nothing wrong with that. Wild bit of cultural generational tension

Tank-yoo Bobby and a Cissy. After LW was cancelled their production values fell drastically.

[@thomasdudley6514]

[@williamjones7163]

Ok, ok, ok. I can stop swigging my Geritol. I finished it anyway. Now I think I will just have to sleep it off. It is 12% alcohol.

[@lilchopstixz2161]

Lmao I’m surprised he would allow him to do that

[@Anonymousfrank]

la mow??

[@b.deville3236]

Not only a viscous and on-target spoof of the so-called "culture" of the Charles Manson Generation, but Lawrence had the last laugh, as his musical empire outlasted most of those hippie rock groups by decades.

[@AV1611BibleBelievingJimmy]

It is all satanic africanized trash. It is pushed by every corporation, by all the government, by television, by all the forces of this world. And every last western nation has completely lost and forgotten ALL of it's traditions and have been completely overturned by this tasteless godless filth.

[@Hardside65]

Lawrence Welk - maybe the most conservative US-American ever after John Wayne .

[@randallmunson2098]

It doesn’t get any Whiter than this folks !

[@nataliep.9047]

And from the direction this nation is headed, I'd say don't get use to it.
