"Oh the Strawberry, Raspberry, Good wine that I drink......" Polka song request - need a good recording

Dzien dobry!

I'm looking for a good recording of a Polish Polka (don't know the exact name of the song) with the phrase....

"Oh the Strawberry, Raspberry, Good wine that I drink......"

Any recommendations?

Kind regards,
Karinka

This may shock you, but the Polka is not very popular in Poland. And never was.
Actually - its a Czech traditional folk music.
The name "Polka" comes from the word "pół" (half) not "Poland" or "Polish".

You'll find the words and music to the polka you're interested in here:

The following should help enlighten our undereducated Polish and UK PF-ers about the Polish-American polka, an urban art form that long preceded the monotonous, disjointed grunts and groans of slum-dwellers known as rap-crap.

I've always felt that the Beatles tune, "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" had a Polka beat to it.

Good day,

No harm intended....so sorry if I offended you.

Both sets of my Grandparents are from Poland. Both emigrated to the US.

I grew up attending/living the large Polish weddings with the live Polka bands,food, post wedding "Open Houses" with more food and more music!, etc. This song inevitably was always played. For some reason, I always loved it. I had no idea it wasn't "liked" in Poland.....

My apologies....I just remember the "good times"....

Personally, I think this is a little better version of the song for ya... I grew-up listening to the Sunday Morning Polka Party, on the radio. :-) youtube.com/watch?v=WtDO2rkTt6Q

Just wondered why the Polonian polka hasn't caught on in Poland. Has anyone ever tried promoting it? The oom-pa-pa German bands are popular at the Munich Oktoberfast as well as in the US, for instance at Frankenmuth, Michigan and many places in Wisconsin and elsehwere.

doubt it

This website has all the ooompapa songs played at a polish wedding, a village wedding I shall add.

This is just my preference, with no offense intended to anyone's preference....but I just don't care for the "German type Oompapa" Polkas....I prefer the Polonian polkas Polonius3 mentioned...doing the "polish hop"....etc. That is what I grew up with and love dancing to.

Thanks for the link Raph. I too grew up listening to the Sunday Morning Polka Party! :)

I will send you the song if you give me your e mail address
