LOL in french, musette is a popular musical style (accordion based) !... It's the kind of music plyed on the "Tour de France" in which Lance Armstrong did so well ! 😉

Over here the accordion is mostly associated with Polkas and the alternative rock group "The Talking Heads".

Being of Polish decent, there are few things that will whip me into a angered frenzy faster then pop-culture pundits making accordian based polka bullshit out to be authentic. If you want to hear an authentic polka then download and listen to this:

You will probably recognize it since it is a classic.

There are a lot of rock groups that use one.

Simple Minds, Counting Crows, Peter Gabriel, The Hooters, Hot Tuna, The Band, Barenaked Ladies, Dylan, just to name a few, and of course Weird Al.

There are even Punk bands like The Dysfunctionells and Giant Ant Farm using one.

Wow, really? That's different. LOL Well there goes my originality.
