That's actually more properly known as the Jenny Lind polka. "Heel and Toe Polka" is that name of a dance that just wants a simple, regular polka like this, and it's done to any number of other common polka tunes. I've heard both of these tunes, and while they're similar, I don't think I'd consider them the same tune. I don't know the name of Ulf's tune, though. Maybe I'll ask on the scand list.
