That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for May 06, 2021

Nobody told Helmut that accordion players never get any.

play that funky music, white boy

These ladies regret subscribing for this streaming service.

“No, really, it doesn’t mean anything. ‘Momma has a squeeze box’ is just a song. Why are you looking at me like I’m some sort of pervert?”

“Well, you asked for a concert, Tina!”

When Joergen came home on leave from the army, none of the girls were surprised that the the army hadn’t issued him a rifle to carry around, but had instead given him a squeeze box. That’s just the sort of man that he was.

Chicks dig musicians, right ladies? Ladies?

“Whatever you’ve got inside that thing, you ought to let it out. It sounds like it’s in agony.”

More than 30 years ago now, my son had a Suzuki Samurai and he got a bumper sticker for it that said, “Play An Accordion, Go To Jail.”

“It’s called a “polka,” ladies. Now roll out a beer barrel and your Momma, cause she’s not too fat for me!

Al’s grandfather, Weirdo Alvin Yankovic, just didn’t have the same appeal.

Ivan, can’t you play anything else? We are getting awful tired of hearing “Those were the Days” over and over and over ….

Throughout lockdown, Boris tried to save his “subway entertainment” business by offering home delivery.

The funds have got mighty low/ at the Goeppingen USO../but they’ve luckily scored/ a dude whose accord/ -ion still has three payments to go..

Sadistic…accordion. Redundant!

Lawrence Welk and the Lennon-grad Sisters, the early years.

“Free Bird?…..I don’t know the tune. Perhaps if you hum a little of it I can play along.”

Daddy’s got a squeeze box. Mama doesn’t sleep at night. (apologies to The Who)

Accordion to his research, 3 out of 3 were much happier after he played - than during.

“Wait’l ya hear the bagpipe track~it’s to die for!”

OK – the banjo player will arrive shortly. The trio will be complete !

So what will you give me NOT to keep playing?

“Thank you so much. We had run out of rennet and had no other way of curdling the milk.”

“We have you surrounded. Put down the accordion and release the hostages!”

By the looks of it, it’s they who have kidnapped him and are forcing him to perform this act of questionable morality for them.

“Hey ladies. They say it’s painful to get your teats caught in a wringer but that ain’t half as bad as gettin’ Ol’ Mr. Johnson caught in one a these bad boys! That’s why I only play with me pants on. – after that one time anyway”

The accordion shatters the void!/ All tranquillity is destroyed/- as the sound of woe/ disrupts the flow/ of maids usefully employed.// It had been a peaceful week./ Productivity reached a peak/ – then Helmut walked in/ with his weapon of din/ to emit his first piercing shriek. // Now the chamber’s a hotbed of tension/ a morass of strife and dissension/ he’s driving them nuts/ but who has the guts/ the source of the problem to mention?/// Before the day reaches its end/ somebody will murder a friend/ but who will extol/ the instrument’s role ?/ Not a soul – though it’s clearly a trend.

“I wish my brother, BanjoGordy, was here.”

The title of this painting is : Why the Germans lost the War

He asked to play with their squeeze boxes, and the sisters said, “sure – here ya go…”

An accordionist, on his way to a gig, stops for a cup of coffee to go. He’s nervous, because its a bad neighborhood, and his accordion is in the back seat. He locks the car, hurries to the coffee shop, and on his way back, sees that the back window has been broken out. Sure enough, there are two more accordions in the back seat.

Though, in the interest of fairness, there are accordionists like Angelo DiPippo and Astor Piazzola, who do some pretty cool and amazing stuff on the instrument.

Don’t play it again, Sam. Please!

Man being held hostage and forced to play the accordion by sadistic women.

Tom demonstrating his new thing called a “Jack in the Box”. It needed improvement.

After 14 months in isolation, the ladies would have been entertained by bleating goats.

“Know any Al Yankovic?”

Hey now! You put that thing down, NOW! That’s Momma’s squeeze box!!

go ahead Edith, give him your basket so he will stop the awful music.

Matilda was upset that the delivery boy was, once again, playing with her squeeze box.

OK girls! Edelweiss One more TIME!!! :>)

DANCE! I say, DANCE!

Either the accordion is on your knees, or I am. But not both at the same time.

Yes, I suppose you will hear different sounds if I’m sitting on your knees.

He tries to play “Lady of Spain”

But he blows it again and again

Two girls laugh, but the bimbo

who stands arms akimbo

regards him with well-earned disdain.
