As an accordion player, you’ve heard your fair share of ’em — today is the day to give back. In honor of April Fools Day, we’re opening the floodgates and holding an accordion joke contest. Share your favorite groaner and you could win something in the process.
To enter: Write a comment on this post and tell us your favorite accordion joke. One lucky joker — chosen at random — will receive a grab bag of Let’s Polka goodies. We can’t make any promises, but the package will likely include a mix of Let’s Polka stickers, albums from our collection, and whatever other squeeze-worthy goodies we have on hand.
The contest ends tonight at midnight, so start posting your jokes!
Update: Congratulations to our lucky winner, Ed Ploski! Thanks to everyone who contributed a joke!

Yep…I think we’ve heard ’em all, but please post them anyway, because you never know…we MIGHT have missed one! Here is my favorite…so far:

OK…here’s another…What do you call 500 accordions at the bottom of the ocean??
…..a good start…. (ouch!)
OK…one more, then I’ll quit…
What is the definition of perfect pitch?
….throwing an accordion into a dumpster without touching the sides.
Well….we accordionists DO have a sense of humor..because we take the ribbing and the jokes, and haven’t shot anyone for telling them (…yet…) Keep up the good work…I love getting this every day! “Let’s Polka” rules!
