W.A.Y. Moby Polka

W.A.Y. Moby Polka

The "W.A.Y. Moby Polka", previously known as "The Ear Booker Polka" and "The Poodle Hat Polka", is a piece of music that is always the last song on each of Weird Al Yankovic's polka medleys. It is referenced separately in the album credits for legal purposes, to separate the music created by Weird Al Yankovic from the music created by other artists.

When asked in 1999 exactly which part of the polka medey is the "Ear Booker Polka", Yankovic wrote::"Every songwriter in the polka medley is paid based on the percentage of the medley where their song is heard. "The Ear Booker Polka," basically, is the name given to every single part of the medley that is not directly attributable to another songwriter - that is, if somebody else didn’t write it, I get the credit (and the royalties). Recently the name was changed to "The Way Moby Polka" for accounting reasons. " [ [http://www.weirdal.com/aaarchive.htm Ask Al - August, 1999] . WeirdAl.com]

Name

The song was originally called the "Ear Booker Polka", in reference to Weird Al Yankovic's production company, "Ear Booker Music", affiliated with Broadcast Music Incorporated. When Weird Al's record label Scotti Brothers disbanded in 1997, they sold his recording contract to Volcano Records. In turn, his production changed its name to WAY MOBY (based on a quote from the episode, "Bad Influence", of "The Weird Al Show"), and therefore, the song also changed its name to its current version. In the "Angry White Boy Polka", from Poodle Hat, the song was temporarily changed to "Poodle Hat Polka".
