I can't really help on the rest, but on the origins of Polka...
It's an Irish fiddle tune (in fact, I think two, but don't quote me on that...). I'm not sure what it's called - somebody will, though, it's quite well known (in fact, it crops up in the film Titanic).
On his early tours, Mike used to play a traditional tune from the country he was playing in at the time. I would assume that Polka was the one he played for Ireland.
I don't believe there is a studio version, though it's not commpletely impossible that Mike might have recorded a rough track to play to his band to get his ideas across. I doubt that he did, though.
