The general rule of thumb is "if it sounds good, it is good."What you want to do is compose a Polka cue that sounds like a real polka group (or whatever they are called) is playing a real Polka piece composed by a real Polka composer. Authentic. You could use real instruments and players or sampled instruments you trigger with a midi controller, so long as it sounds like the real deal.Also, unless they specifically ask for public domain or cover songs, you will need to compose your own piece.-SteveP.S. If you paste the listing in your post it will make it a lot easier for people to help decipher it for you.
