A song?

I was tempted to say “interstate 99” which was a boondoggle that was directly connected to the senator from Pennsylvania, who, I believe, hailed from Scranton.

But I’m not sure. Scranton is such a piss-ant little town (I’ve driven through there) that I cannot imagine it being #1 in anything.

The Dunder-Mifflin Paper Company.

This is an unfair question for most of you here. I apologize for even posting it. Think Lawrence Welk and even google it if you wish. The stupid thing was running through my head when I woke up and I thought “why not share the misery”

I googled it and IT AINT THERE!! I’m flabbergasted! Okay. It’s from a lyric, and you can actually hear it over and over in the movie “GROUNDHOG DAY”

It started in Scranton, it’s now number one. It’s bound to entertain ya,
Everybody has a mania to do the Polka from Pennsylvania!

Yes! Cigar to the trout eating penguin!

Strauss's avatar

As a life-long student of the accordion (among other things) it came to me immediately. I only had to look up the fact that it was the Andrews Sisters who recorded it first.

@stanleybmanly I’ll take the trout for $200 please.

And anyone want to dance?

Strauss's avatar

@janbb I thought you’d never ask. A-one, A-two!

I’ll blow the soap bubbles.

@janbb. Wait a minute Penguin “The trout” is a quintet, and it isn’t #1 in D. Are you telling us there is an actual string quartet entitled “The Groundhog”?

janbb's avatar

Google the Groundhog Movie soundtrack. It is one of the pieces. (But I do love the Trout Quintet – naturally.)

Our own Jelly, Judi?

stanleybmanly's avatar

She started in Scranton? And she’s STILL number 1?

Dutchess_III's avatar

Well, whether or not she’s still #1 depends on who you talk to. In my book she is!

Wasn’t “The Lawrence Welk Show” filmed at Lake Placid?

Strauss's avatar

I have an earworm that is a mash-up of all the polkas I ever played.
