      Today MFM honors the homeland of most of the editor's ancestors...Poland...and its co-hosting of Euro 2012.
      Poland spent $25 billion to upgrade its Soviet-era infrastructure for football...and sponsored this official folk song for the contests.
      'Koko Euro Spoko'...is performed by 8 women called Jarzebiny...garbed in traditional garb from the south.
     While the group hasn't attracted as much publicity as Russia's Babushki...their song is catchy.
     And...as the Reuters article reports...it is also catching on for commercials there.
