Neither does anyone else, but again, that's not the point of the clip. To each his own.

The flute drowns out Sedaka's voice.

@LoneMaquis So what? It's a good flute performance, and that's the point of the clip.

@landztranz
The point of instrumentals is to highlight instrumental perfromance. The point of songs is to get the lyrics across. People, myself included, don't get many chances to hear Sedaka singing in Yiddish.

Balti is a city in Republic of Moldova, fomerly the Besserabia region of Romania.
The song is part of the Romanian nostalgic musicology style called "Doina", reminiscing on the happier times of (in this case) Romanian-Jews in the country of origin.
Please also see Rumania Rumania, and Besserabia composed and performed by Jewish diaspora musicians in Yddish, with Romanian folkloric overtones.
