Brandon, thank you for writing this song! I post it every year to explain to my friends what Jews do on Christmas. And every year, they enjoy it almost as much as I do. Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year!
I just want to add that you shouldn't make fun of Chassidim, either. They are very good people, though of course there are always going to be exceptions. And, as someone mentioned earlier, a tallis is only worn during prayer. As for the beards, Jews cannot put a razor to their faces, but now we have ELECTRIC RAZORS, so there are a great many Jewish men with clean-shaven faces, as well as plenty of Jews who do have beards (just as their are gentiles with beards) and look great.
This is completely false. I'm an Orthodox Jew, and Christmas is just a regular day for us. I know this was supposed to be funny -- it would have been, had it not been for the "Jew" picking up a penny. That was downright offensive. Believe it or not, Jews make a HUGE deal about generosity & giving charity. Also, it's only the Chassidic Jews who have the long payos. It's a stereotype. Me, I'm a blonde girl with light green eyes. I don't want to spoil your fun. I'm just telling you the truth.
@sukie584 Really? The Hasid who stops a car in the street to pick up a penny? That's a LOVE of being Jewish? More like a self-hating Jew & one that is uninformed of how religious Jews really act/dress.Imagine the reaction if the artist had portrayed the Pope wearing a THONG? cont...
@tkob First of all, that was clearly a penny. And second of all I'm pretty sure the reaction to your Pope idea would be comprised mostly of "LOL POPE THONG" comments and maybe some other "tkob" 's out there would voice their displeasure.
JEWS FTW...I am seeing "Gulliver's Travels" today and going to my favorite Kosher Chinese Food Place with my familly and friends.. I love Christmas :D
While the song is definitely cute, well written and sung, your portrayal of Hasidic & religious Jews as cheap, money grubbing, wine drinking clowns is ridiculous & offensive. The Tallis is only worn in a Synagogue, not in movies or bars. Tzitzis the 4 fringed undergarment is what is really worn. In addition, Jews with Peyos do not shave, and 16 year old boys with Peyos do not have bushy full length beards. As a Hasdic Jew in the arts, I work very hard to make sure we are not portrayed as clowns.
@tkob while i can appreciate your concern, I don't know anyone who thinks of Hasidim as clowns. First of all, how could they be clowns if they have no sense of humor or ability to laugh at themselves. There are stereotypical aspects to all people and because Jews look just like everyone else, the only way to distinguish is by highlighting outward appearance that identifies one as a jew. I'm sure the artist meant no disrespect.. Clearly he loves being Jewish. Lighten up.
I was raised Catholic and I eat Chinese food for Christmas and go to the movies. Beats the hell out of a dysfunctional family gathering. Like the old ad for rye bread said, you don't have to be Jewish to love it.
@tripleRdc You're so lucky that you get to do this every year! My dad's Christian so I always have Christmas dinner with him even though I don't celebrate his holiday. I have dinner at his house first and then we (my brother and I) go to our family friends' house after that and eat there. I wish I could skip out on the dinners and go to a Chinese restaurant and see a movie for once!
Ironic because I am bbored as hell right now watching your video. Not because of the video but because I live near you and know this was filmed at the Hunt Valley strip mall and it is hristmas and I am snowed i so I can't go to the chinese food.
Really great song and video, mate, I have your song on my iPod and I play it when I get sick of the Christmas songs running about on the radio. Whenever I eat Chinese food in December your song runs through my head.
Thanks for the HD version. It's still one of my favorites.
I'm sorry I didn't get to see you this time when I was home and to go back to the kosher restaurant downtown. Perhaps when I go home at Thanksgiving . . .
