Wow Jews singing Christmas songs.. Well Merry Christmas.

[queeneggplant]

@protrukr2000 Most Jews wrote the Christmas songs.

the more I keep hearing this language is getting me closer to learning it. Although my mother, a Ukrainian catholic gave birth to me and brought me up in Eastern Catholicism, my father is Polish Jewish and I also learned a lot of Judaism from him.. I don't see how Catholicism is anything like Judaism, though.

btw, anyone know when the famous rejoinder to Johnny Mark's rudolph song "like a light bulb" first appeared? Thanx!

The Song and story book came out in the 30s it was published by Macy's the big story in NY and given away to the Christmas shoppers. The story was a big hit. The melody came out sometime after that.

Robert L. May created Rudolph in 1939 as an assignment for Montgomery Ward (in Chicago). May's brother-in-law, Johnny Marks, decided to adapt the story of Rudolph into a song. Marks was a radio producer and wrote several popular Christmas songs. It was first sung commercially by crooner Harry Brannon on New York city radio in the latter part of 1948 before Gene Autry recorded it formally in 1949.

sehr schoen!

That's why so many people celebrate the birth of a Jew.

I believe the video is an old cartoon. As for making this version, kudos to whoever had the idea... music should have no barriers, and anyone who disagrees needs to seriously open their minds

[kugelplex52]

Stupid Christian tradition? Sure. Jewishized? From the get go. But the fact that something as cute and benign as this -- a little ditty the band threw together for a holiday concert -- can still lure out the same tired rhetoric makes me feel that there is some value to this more than just the schlockiness of a klez band pandering to Christmas.

[kugelplex52]

Jonny Marks, the guy who wrote Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was Jewish. Other Christmas songs by Jews: "White Christmas", "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow", "Silver Bells" and "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)

[Frinkelstein2]

Is this a Jewishization of a stupid Christian tradition or what? What exactly is the point of this hermaphroditic video?

Hey maybe you could give us some clips of Triumph of the Will done in Yiddish!

[chiron613]

The point is *humor*. It's not a "Jewishization" of anything. It's an amusing reworking of a popular song that is sung this time of year. It's light-hearted and amusing. Lighten up, OK? - Baruch Ben-David

[Engelmann16]

somehow, this isn't exactly funny.

[jewishjournal]

A michaya!

[gajaybird]

Nicely done. I don't know that I would've used Chosen Kalle Mazel-Tov, a wedding song...

[FleshandBloodBaller]

[arajara]
