This is amusing. I'm one of those high-class German Jews whose father married a Catholic shiska ('yaw, ikh kenn Yeed zehr gut") , but this makes me laugh... Is this a spoof of Connie Francis singing "A yiddishe moma"?
@shmuli9 I hadn't ever heard the song before, but there's definitely a similarity! We were just parodying the standard Gypsy sound from Eastern Europe. Glad it made you laugh!
I have to say the song's great, it really brings out the tragic self-satire of yiddish culture. but the video clips are terrible and make it a bit wrong.
oops sorry about the name mixup!! I needed more coffee I guess :-)
I passed along the link to this with Steve Gilmore (Rebel Riffs) - he is reviewing (and making) music right and left over at soundclick - I hope he drops in!

Once I found the reaction shots I was looking for for the main gags, it was fairly easy to place the rest in. Thanks!
