Polka is not unknown in Scandinavia. In some parts it is even popular. Swedish would not be a very unreasonable guess for "soft and swooshy" version of German. In a song I don't think I would be able to differentiate between Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian. A native speaker, of course, would.
And if it didn't sound even remotely Germanic in structure, there're any number of Finnish polkas, as well.
Polish, to my ears, has a somewhat Slavonic sound.
To find out how Swedish sounds, you can try our national radio stations, available at http://www.sr.se/P1/ (and P2, etc). P1 is talk radio, P2 is classical/some folk and P3 is popular music. P4 was intended to be for the older generation, but has become P3 light.
