Oi vey, what a parody! You certainly are no shmendrik but have khutzpe enough to write such nice song. Fives - le-chaim!

TMGLTM!!!...LOL!!!...555!!!

What a great testament to your imagination and talent! Hysterical! Three pentateuchs to you!

I cannot compliment "Jew" enough...

Is TOS a cover of a Dusty Springfield classic? If so, then I like the original original better. I sang this one to that version and saw that it was perfectly paced, and I will award you with a 5.5.5 vote.

There's no people like Chosen People! Here's three 5s...I can get them wholesale. ;D

pretty funny and matches OS well. I liked the passover line - hahah

oyVery funny Phil with TMGLTMench'in!

What Leo and Yasha (ha!) said... Yiddish-ed it out with great flair!

No, you don't. They're a bunch of .... (grabs mike away from Rev. (?) Jackson)

Best: Tora, matzorella. The briss may be a downside, but at least you get to schtup. Would never have guessed, Phil. I'm more in line with your actual belief system, as aforementioned, but super-funny write. So for this purpose, sign me:
Torah Turtle

You're part Jewish? Wow, that's the second half-Jew on this site! (The first was Silver Power.) 555

Philbo - this is better than happy hour at "The Bar Mitzvah". Fave line was about the passover of that old circumcision. Well done. And vat I should give ya fives or sumtin?

Phil, if you're half-Jewish, shouldn't you have been half-circumcised? (Hemicized?) .... Inquiring minds want to know... That would be interesting -- sort of. :-)
I guess they'd leave you your twoskin. Just seder word... ... Do you do four days of Hannukah? I always envied the Jewish kids who got *both* Christmas and Hanukkah gifts!

Change of topic for a cheap plug that might be of interest: I believe you're at least half-British as well, right? :) The patriarch of the Kennedy dynasty in the US, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. (father of JFK, RFK, and Mary Jo Kopechne's killer , the much-too-recently deceased Teddy K. , was firmly opposed to the US aiding Britain at the start of WWII; argued against Churchill and in favor of Chamberlain, tried to meet mit der Fuhrer himself, and said "Democracy is dead in England anyway". He also supported the Nazi policy toward Jews. (i. e. kill them, just do it more quietly.).

Lots more fascinating/disgusting stuff on the guy who fathered two Senators, a President, and an Attorney General at our parody,

If you don't want to read all the footnotes -- don't blame you -- or even the parody itself, just check out footnotes 6, 7, and 8. I imagine you'll be as disgusted as we were. Cheers!

Wow.. what a reception. Thank you very much, already. Mazel tov

Susannah - I was going to use "chutzpah" (or however else you want to spell it) in this, but as I plan to perform the song, I didn't think it would be fair to cover the front row of the audience in spittle

metaphorsbwithu - three pentateuchs? That is pretty much Torah! Torah! Torah!, isn't it?

AFW - yes you can: you just did ;-)

David Sari - yes, it is a cover of the Dusty Springfield song, but The Tourists got it to number one over here while I was at school, so that's the version I always knew

DJ Blaze - my father's side of the family, yes. I'm sure there's a few more around, but unless a suitable parody idea comes up you'd never know, would you?

Guy - that line was a bit of a cheat: it's too late for me. What I want to know is if I were to convert from Judaism, could I get it back?

TT - "twoskin" :-) I'm fully British, albeit with fairly mixed heredity (born here, but grandparents from Poland, Russia and Germany as well as England). Will toddle over and have a look at the parody now.

Phil is hemi-sized? (!!!) That's the way rumors get started, you know... ;)

FG - I think TT meant I'm circum..spect

You gave it away, Oi vey!! But here's fives coming your way.

Du bist ein Parodymensch.

Phil -- responded to your comment at JPK, Sr., should you have a moment and the desire.
btw, you don't want to be Phil Spect(or), trust me! :)

Fiddlegirl: That rumor could go in two completely opposite directions, depending on whether you're referring to the famous Plymouth-Dodge 426 cu. in. engine or the very brief musical note. See how ambiguous it is when one like yourself has such a versatile background? :D xoxo

That's a good one, Phil! This parody reminds me of Adam Sandler's "Chanukah" song! Well, I'm not Jewish, but my fave Hebrew songs are the "Dreidel Song" for Chanukah. Well, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is coming up this month! I got Jewish classmates and coworkers who take days off for those days. Anyways, here's 5 Dreidels, 5 Menorahs, and 5 Tallits (prayer shawls). A Shalom, Hava Nagila, and Mazel Tov to you! Oh, I almost forgot the Ketubah! My cousin married somebody Jewish and I love the part where they break glass and lifted chairs while sitting on them!

it's interesting Sir Phil, that LIEV is half hewbrew, too . . . and he married Aswesome-Aussie, Naomi !

Sorry I'm a decade (?!?) late to the party, but AWESOME stuff to one of my fav OSs. Phil, you never fail to deliver the tops in funny! Longing every so often for the days when AIR wasn't so screwed up/toxic---but there's no cure in 'site'
