Weird Al Yankovich: Pretty Fly for a Rabbi Lyrics

[souleater19100]

anyone who says that weird al steals song well thats a lie he asks the artist before making the song

[gobucks2006]

He is Jewish

[fajitaRBguy01111]

@gobucks2006 no he's even said he's not (don't ask for a source because I forgot where I got it from) he's christian.

[Craigmin]

@gobucks2006 Yankovic's a Polish Christian.

[jadeanmerirade]

weird al is not jewish

[gobucks2006]

Jews have a sense of humor about being Jews were not upright like goyims are. Weird Al is Jewish most of the phrases in here. Are the same in Hebrew and Yiddish, Yiddish is actually a cross of Hebrew and old German the Jews in Europe just kinda combined Hebrew into German and Yiddish resulted I myself am one of these German origin Yids.

[thing1231000]

Is that Tress Macneill?.

[maygirl500]

How ya doin' bernie?

Oy vey, oy vey

[azazamat]

Wow, never heard this one before and it's great!! Though, I didn't get like 90% of Idish :) or was that Hebrew?

[KidMurdaENT]

Put on your Yarmulka & say HEY HEY DO THAT HEBREW THANG!!!! XD

[dogeymon83]

I hope weird all knows there's some band that ripped off his song. They're called the crapspring or something like that.

[racetracknewsielover]

I'm Jewish and I love this song. Jews laugh at themselves. Case and point.

[SlasherIndex]

Weird Al is Jewish, so I'm sure a lot of this is inspired by memories growing up.

[southpaw9866]

That voice has to be Fran Drescher's , I wouldn't be surprised if she helped Al write this song, it screams Fran's style of humor .

[troguski]

Weird Al really should be Jewish!

[loliplaysax]

I'm Jewish, and I love this. :)

[southpaw9866]

IT'S A FUNNY SONG PARODY , IT'S NOT RACIST , MEL BROOKS , JOAN RIVERS AND MANY OTHER JEWISH COMEDIANS HAVE DONE THIS KIND OF HUMOR FOR YEARS ...

DID WEIRD AL EVER MAKE A VIDEO FOR THIS ?

[111animeluver]

Well I'm Jewish and this is hilariousness. Oh and I'm a practicing Jew so I really know what jokes are offending and this is not at all it. This is plain funny.

[DanTheEnigma]

Weird... AL of a sudden I wanna convert.

[itamarhano]

i expected somthing more offensive.. now im disapointed

p.s. im a jew

[mkmarstonme]

I am part Jewish and I don't find this offenive at all, so shut the fuckin hell up stonerkid10

[TragedySoldier]

Isn't it funny how it's the non-racial groups that have a problem with racial problems. For example. Black People laugh at most black jokes if your friends or know them and yet who was it that makes a fuss about black jokes? White People. Who makes a fuss over the jewish jokes? Non-jews. Most jews couldn't care less because they have a strong faith community. Don't stop at those two. It happens for almost any discrimination event. People need to learn to laugh more.

[18randomjunk]

silly rabbi,trix are for kids

[TheJubin100]

8 people are jealous rabbis

[politicoochie09]

Thumbs up if you're watching this in a shtetl!

[SimuLord]

Is that Fran Drescher (who worked with Al in UHF) doin' "How you doing Bernie?"

[Racing14Fan]

8 people are Rabbi's

[TheUKfan93]

L'Chaim!!!!

[amy2567]

im jewish and i love this XD

[sihplak]

7 People didn't want cake...

[DeMishMIsh]

LOL oh man thats epic xD

whoever gets offended by this has no sense of humor,at all...

[GhostFearMe]

i want some cake

[qwertyuiop298]

I swear I've learned more about the Jewish faith googling terms in the lyrics than ever before in my life.

[DirtyKameSennin]

@qwertyuiop298 Totally with you man

[Swifeaf]

My favourite line " Oy gevalt, I'm so ferklumpt that I could plotz"

[HandandHand123]

How come every time people warn it might be offensive to Jews I end up laughing at it?

[azk333]

You have one mistake in the libretto. It is "pastrami on white BREAD..."

[sinner12887]

Huh when I heard Al say "he get to keep his tip"> I thought he meant his four skin.

[FutureMarine1775USA]

Im offensive and I find this hebrew.

[pokehacker]

first weird al song i ever heard and now i'm old enough to finally get this stuff! i like this song much more now

[pgrmoja]

HAHAHAH HOW YOU DOIN BERNIE HAHAHHAHA

[Cobrawolf]

311 Jews, Muslims, Pagans and Christians liked this song, while 7 Nazis hated it. I guess they will not be invited to Christmas or Hanukkah this year.

[lukatuna13]

X3 We had Pretty Fly For A White Guy in our Half-Time show and the band did the Burnie at one point. Throughout it my brother and his friend were singing this

[Squidpus]

The girl singing the "Bernie" part is Tress MacNeille, look her up, you've most likely heard her in several cartoons.

[FastEyeStudios]

7 nazis from 1944 invented a time-traveling computer software and disliked this.

[jrcortz]

hey! who knew fran drescher did the how ya doin bernie thing!!

[stonerkid10]

I'm offensive and I find this Jewish.

[Murpman200]

im jewish and this is hilarious

[knHorrorFREAK]

I learned more hebrew words in this than my Jewish friend knows

[PwnzMuffinz]

@knHorrorFREAK Most of the words in this song are in Yiddish

[Metroidkalib]

Hitler liked this song.

[lailatovx]

I'm an Orthodox Jew and I find this hilarious, I don't get how people could be offended! 

[SlipKnoTx9523]

funny



[PurpleGman0525]

My family listened to this song with me. haha best laughing I've done in a while! haha

[split001]

[nudel90766]

[357hunterman]

[gwenblob]

[SheenTheSecond]

@zaptrollwen or Fran from The Nanny

[samman622]

thumbs up if understand at least one yiddish word in this video

[fan0frammstein88]

Actually, the gentiles should be the ones offended when the find out what "goyim" means.

[lukerr87]

lol, did people really believe a rabbi would make a YouTube account and comment on a Weird Al song? Wow, people are a lot dumber that I thought.

[papakyle59]

I think the woman singing sounds more like fran from the nanny......ew.

[SugarCookie1632]

LOL IM JEWISH AND THTS FUNNY

[lukerr87]

As a rabbi myself, I'm deeply offended by this.

[lycanlove333]

@lukerr87 OMG I LOVE YOU!!!!!! i have a thing for Jews... their awesome!! im not a Jew but that means your awesome too!! :) :)

[lukerr87]

@lycanlove333 I always work hard at the synagogue. Tough job, tough job.

[lycanlove333]

@lukerr87 lol what do you do?

[aniharman100]

@lukerr87 A Rephormic rabbi?

[carygoleman]

@lukerr87

I can only hope that this is true.

[MJandRK100]

Its funny how weird al copied a line that jambe says from pee wee herman show

[BadgerCheese94]

Zisn Rosh Hashanah!

[Machinegamer12]

how the hell could you be offended by this? Fuck that, i wanna b a rabbi now.

[WatsonLadd]

Its spelled mohel. and shiksa. and verklempt.

[metalgrungefan123]

this is actually hilarious :D

[lycanlove333]

[hetalia137]

@lycanlove333 "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" by Offspring.

[lycanlove333]

@hetalia137 oh thanx

[pokemonteknical808]

[pokemonteknical808]

@pokemonteknical808 sry about this comment



[YouLoseAndIWin]

@pokemonteknical808 You... uh... want me to remove it?

[zaptrollwen]

Am I the only one who thinks the lady saying "How you doing Bernie?" sounds like Lois from Family Guy?

[VapmpiricRock]

@zaptrollwen no she sounds like Fran Drescher on the nanny 

[zaptrollwen]

@VapmpiricRock Who's that?

[VapmpiricRock]

@zaptrollwen look it up

[DeadRaymanWalking]

@zaptrollwen It sounds more like Fran Drescher :-D

[megamarsvin]

@zaptrollwen I guess you're detecting her real accent, she's a Jew too.

[DerpyHooves641]

@zaptrollwen i think so to it sure sounds like her

[tickedoffnow]

@zaptrollwen No she sounds like Fran Drescher

[WilliamMarsden93]

@zaptrollwen

Good pickup; but I believe the voice sounds more like Fran Drescher.

(For you ard-tards; she is Fran Fine in the 'The Nanny')

[HannahThunderify]

@zaptrollwen I hear Fran Drescher...

[NickyLess]

@zaptrollwen In fairness, she did end up finding out she was actually Jewish in one episode lol!

[flowerdance16]

@zaptrollwen she does dosnt she

[Conway79]

He's really quite hhhhhhhip!

[dimentiorules]

And here I thought the original was funny....

[CountGecko]

The 1 dislike must be from Hitler...

[vienna319]

I think this was very funny!!

[enchanted171]

im jewish and this is friggin hilarious.

[LokkiTheSnail]

@enchanted171 your lucky :D we dont get half the words ;)

[MrLegomaster117]

im pretty shure werid al does not sing this

[annairbPeterson]

@MrLegomaster117 he does, its on one of his cds

[microtavor5]

@MrLegomaster117 he does 

[spoonalisk]

isnt yamulka spelt like this

[rexana]

The only Yiddish word I know in this is "Shiksa". It means "A non-Jewish woman", and was used mainly about pretty blonde girls who could potentially lure good Jewish men and boys into temptation, but it's mainly used in a jokey way now.

I only know it because my boyfriend's Jewish and he used to call me his shiska. xD

Even though I actually look just as Jewish as he does. xD People often think we're brother and sister, because we do actually look pretty similar. >.>

EWWEWWEWW. xD

[KhaosOdensland]

@rexana or in a racist way like goyim is also

[needleeater1]

My (female) rabbi had this as her ringtone and it started to ring in the middle of a service. All the adults in our community stood up and sung along. The kids were mortified!

[amrcngrl1203]

Is the line "How ya doin Bernie" from a movie? It's so funny

[starwarsjaden]

I can't remember who uploaded this song??????

starwarsjaden out-

Oy vey, Oy vey.

[SlimGamer05]

[NatWolff43567890]

[foREVerintheMCRmy]

[ShelbyTheGoth]

[Fluffyninjacutie]

[aykoppel1]

[weirdalnumber1fan]

I am Jewish. and I just wanna say..... THIS SONG ROCKS!!! WEIRD AL ROCKS!!!

[punkqueentheresa]

I don't think it's offensive...I find it funny if anything. And the fact I find the Offspring's lead vocalist's singing annoying...it makes it even funnier. :D

[ace814956]

i like how he fits in some stario types and doseint get pined to a cross

[Alexisperquez]

i just two terms to describe this song...... fucked-up and funny

[TigerBoltSnake54321]

This song is stupid funnie but still funnie

[lululinzee]

really?

[iloveeminem330]

i met weird all!!!!!!

[TigerBoltSnake54321]

@iloveeminem330 really i dont believe you but if you did that is pretty fly for a rabbi

[lopezak2010]

@TigerBoltSnake54321 i have a t-shirt from alapalooza with his autograph on it from wen he came to anchorage.

[MegaAstroFan18]

Bless Weird Al for parodying rap. He takes garbage and turns it into gold.

[lululinzee]

i would singg this, but i dont know how to pronounce over half of the words

[TheMrTrapatony]

The Offspring + Weird Al Yancovic = EPIC

[MrNascar1111]

jews are awsume

[masterchief609]

"he has to find a barggin cause he wont pay retail price" hehe typical jew

[Rangerhalt1]

@masterchief609 I think you're falling to stereotypes. There are many good Jews that aren't greedy. That's like saying a girl is stupid just because she's blond.

[ezrasolomonyt]

@thelovegames97 it's like the polish way of saying "ay caramba"

[Mysterious863]

Mel Brooks?

[lovethegames97]

what does oy ve mean?

[18richardson]

Most of the words are in Yinglish (a.k.a. the language English-speaking Jews refer back to for their rituals; a mixture of English, Yiddish/Hebrew, Aramaic, and German).

It kinda looks as though our dear friend Alfred wanted to incorporate as many Yinglish words as possible into this parody. Most of the references either don’t make sense or don’t rhyme as well as you would predict . . .

[nlnlnlnl1000]

Most of that is not even hebrew, it's jew-ish...

[QueenetBowie]

i remember weird al from when i was a kid. i always feel so emberrassed thinking back or mentioning that i had all his cd's when I was like ten, I feel like such a dork....but to tell the truth, I still love him

[tickedoffnow]

Weird Al is a fuckin' genious

[meluvzgir]

weird al is soo meschuga (hebrew for crazy)

[meluvzgir]

weird al is soo meschuga

[SelenaG94]

lol "he'll bring you lots of cheer, and maybe bagels with some shmeer" XD

[SelenaG94]

Good thing I'm jewish :)

[Thehotdogpuppy]

I know what he is saying... oy vey means a cry of anguish or fear.....oy gevalt im so ferklemt that i could plotz means oh my im so confused i could burst....veren zol fun dir a blintsa means you should turn into a blintz.....goyium means jew or gentile...yarmulka is a jewish skull cap worn on special ocaisions....a bar mitzva is a celibration for boys meaning of growing into a man...shmeer is an unownn jam or pasty liquid......enough said... thumbs up if this was helpful in a way

[shirlthegirlwilliams]

@Thehotdogpuppy hey thanks for that, makes it more interesting, not just funny

[meluvzgir]

@Thehotdogpuppy mmm... Blintz.... yum!

[MrYourmomswallows]

@Thehotdogpuppy what in the fuck is a "blintz" hebrew scholar?

[cloudthinner]

omg! weird al yankovich is soooooooo Jewish!!!! hes just pretending to not be!!!!!!!!!

[goldendice100]

Sounds just like Offspring! Hes fucking amazing

[BoyWithBlackWings07]

Does anyone understand the yiddish in this?

[YouLoseAndIWin]

@BoyWithBlackWings07 I sitll use these words whenever I want to talk to someone. Oy ve.

[meluvzgir]

@BoyWithBlackWings07 its not yiddish its just made up words

[cheerluvr1015]

@BoyWithBlackWings07 yes, im jewish

[BoyWithBlackWings07]

@cheerluvr1015 Cool.

[MrNascar1111]

@BoyWithBlackWings07 yes im a jew

[punkqueentheresa]

@BoyWithBlackWings07 I know a few of the words. "Nudnik" means an annoying bore, "Shiksas" means a young girl, "Goyim" refers to anyone non-Jewish, "tuchis" means butt, "Vay iz mir" means "hurry up". I'm not sure about the rest of them.
