SIX REASONS WHY POLKA MUSIC
IS GOOD
We now know that Polka and March music are one
of the great cultural developments of history. Here are six reasons why
Polka is good:
- Polka is good because the dance has an aerobic effect. When we dance
every dance at a four hour Polka dance, we have run the equivalent of eight
miles. Polka dancers and runners not only improve their health but also “get
high” on endorphin.
- Polka is good because spinning creates euphoria. When we spin,
the fluid of the inner ear massages the sensory hairs and produce sertonin.
This explains why 90% of the rides at a carnival spin. And, why
children love the merry-go-round at a park.
- Polka is good because it creates excitement. The beat
from a variety of instruments pulses the ear drum and releases adrenaline.
This explains why kids like loud music and fireworks. The pulses excite
them.
- Polka is good because it induces Happiness. The songs
tell us to "be happy-go-lucky", "have a barrel of fun". The musicians
call themselves, Happy Louie, Happy Richie, Jolly Joe, The Merry Makers.
These words, repeated over and over, induce a mental state that truly can
be described as happy.
- Polka is good because it follows the laws of music discovered by
our ancestors over 2,000 years ago. Briefly, these laws state
that music must be logical, avoid incongruous sequence of notes, and appeal
to an intuitive, natural sense of beauty. This explains why Polka music
appeals to people who keep their homes neat, despise litter bugs, discipline
their children, give a days work for a days pay, are reliable, support law
and order, and are good neighbors. This explains why Polka festivals
are always orderly and friendly.
- Polka is good because it can inspire us to
sacrifice everything for heroic values. Polka music can arouse heroism because it
is March music.
- Polka follows the astrophysics of our Solar System. In
other words, Polka Dancers dance around the floor counter-clockwise, the
same as the earth revolves around the sun. Polka Couples rotate clockwise as
they go around the dance floor, the same as the moon goes around the earth.
Someone might say, "That's relative because if you lived in the Southern
Hemisphere, it would be the opposite. And, that is precisely the point.
Europeans don't live in the Southern Hemisphere. They live in the Northern
Hemisphere, and therefore, perceive the Solar System as just described."
