Back in the ’50’s we had a 45-speed record of a polka that I think was called “Fanny Polka.” I can’t remember the singer’s name, but the first line was “I took my Fanny to the circus…” Have you heard of this polka, and if so, where I can get a recording of it? The tune keeps running through my head, but I can’t remember all the words. Thanks!

Ellen, I think you’re looking for the “Fanny Shake Polka.” If you check on iTunes, there are a couple versions by the Polka Dots (click here). Also, the Polkaholics do a non-traditional (punk polka) version on their self-titled debut album.

I am looking for a list of VERY popular German Polkas and waltzes (recognizable by most people).

J.W., how about this: a songlist from the German Music Society.
