In the middle of the 1970s, Mitchell played accordion in wedding bands on Long Island, New York; he later worked as a radio newswriter for WHLI-AM.

Mitchell created and performed the ironic “World News Polka” in 1992, which would go on to become the show’s iconic closing song. Over the years, numerous variations of the Polka have been produced. The most well-known is the music video in which Mitchell is joined by two alluring female singers sporting journalistic trenchcoats and singing backup while waving bulky hand microphones, with numerous inside jokes referencing Disney’s ownership of ABC.

A water harpist, an all-ukulele band, and an Elvis impersonator are among the performers in various renditions of Mitchell’s Polka. The Muppets’ Kermit the Frog performed a well-known Polka duet in June 2015 with Mitchell on accordion and Kermit on banjo: “I hear they watch us in the Swamp and think that we’re all right/Well, it sure beats croaking in the middle of the night.”
