for the 1921 operetta by Emmerich Kalman Die Bajadere operetta Die Bajadere is one of Johann Strauss II s polkas, Op. 351. A bajadere was a temple dancer in the European vision of legendary India being popularized by the first translations of Indian classic literature into European languages. The European view melded all the world east of Suez into an exotic locale. The themes of Die Bajadere were drawn from the score of Strauss s first operetta, Indigo und die Vierzig R uber Indigo and the Forty Thieves , loosely based on the Arabian Nights , which premiered in 1871 at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna . Die Bajadere begins in the key of A major and has two complete sections in the same key before a brief Intrada heralds the Trio section of the work. The Trio section, in D major is heavily accented in the 1st part but is more lyrical in the second. After a general repeat of the same A major 1st part and its successive 2nd one, the polka proceeds into a frenzy, heavily chorded phrase with an abrupt conclusion, all in the home key. The work has been performed at the Neujahrskonzert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra as recently as for the 2005 edition conducted by Lorin Maazel .

File Tritsch tratsch polka 214.jpg thumb Tritsch Tratsch Polka by Johann Strauss II Tritsch Tratsch Polka op. 214 also known as Trish Trash Polka is a polka written by Johann Strauss II in 1858 after a successful tour of Russia where he performed in the summer concert season at Pavlovsk, Saint Petersburg . The title may be interpreted as Chit chat and may refer to the Vienna Viennese passion for gossip. Strauss may also have been referencing the single act burlesque Der Tritsch tratsch with music by Adolf M ller, Sr. by the famous Austria n dramatist and actor Johann Nepomuk Nestroy , which premiered in 1833 and was still in the stage repertoire at the same time the polka was written. Many point out that the title may also have meant his first wife s Henrietta Treffz poodle , also named Tritsch tratsch, but this etymology remains unsubstantiated as well. The mood of the piece is jaunty and high spirited, as were many of Strauss polkas. Uses in popular culture A remix of the piece was used as the background music for the third stage of the video game Gokujou Parodius . A light dance styled remix with vocals appears as a song in Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix under the name Always Smiling . In the James Bond film series James Bond film Moonraker film Moonraker , the piece is playing whilst a fleeing 007 drives his Gondola Hovercraft through Venice s Piazza San Marco St. Mark s Square . In various of the theatrically released Tom and Jerry cartoons produced by Metro Goldwyn Mayer written and directed by William Hanna & Joseph Barbera .

Say Hello to Someone from Massachusetts , was made the official Polka of Massachusetts on October 1, 1998. It was written by Lenny Gomulka . Lyrics So they say you booked a flight and you ll be leaving. Is it business, is it pleasure, is it both. And they say that you ll be landing in New England, What a perfect time of year you chose to go, The weather s fine out there, this time of year is lovely. With all the color and the mountainside to view, And the people there are friendlier than ever, So to fit right in here s what you ve got to do. Say hello to someone in Massachusetts, Tip your hat to every lady that you meet, Shake a hand, you ll make a friend in Massachusetts, That New England old time custom can t be beat. So they say you ve never been to Massachusetts, Are you ready to be pleasantly surprised, Between the scenery and the folks in Massachusetts, All the beauty you just won t believe your eyes, Home of the University of Massachusetts, The Boston Red Sox, Patriots, B Ball Hall of Fame, Just talk the talk and walk the walk in Massachusetts, Soon they all will know and call you by your name. Say hello to someone in Massachusetts, Tip your hat to every lady that you meet, Shake a hand, you ll make a friend in Massachusetts, That New England old time custom can t be beat.
