JEWISH-ENGLISH EXPLANATIONS ARE BELOW, WITH THE PARODY LYRICS;
Note re questions about the ocean shots: Thought it would be fun to use an idealized Butte, Montana like in an old musical, so i hope it's not confusing - we did cut palm trees out of two of the chuppah photos, though. :)
JEWISH-ENGLISH EXPLANATIONS ARE BELOW, WITH THE PARODY LYRICS;
Parody of the musical & song COPACABANA by Barry Manilow, Jack Feldman and Bruce Sussman;
I saw the stage musical in Pittsburgh at the CLO last week and got inspired to try to parody how happy a show it is for having such a sad song as its source (an aspect the stage musical handles wonderfully, by the way). Lola does get her Tony in this parody!

PARODY OF THE BARRY MANILOW/BRUCE SUSSMAN/JACK FELDMAN MUSICAL & SONG COPACABANA
AT THE CHUPPAH (CHUPPAH/CABANA)
Her name was Lola, She was a shul girl [shul = Jewish house of worship] With a nice sheitel in her hair [sheitel = head cover or wig for women] And a dress from who knows where She'd sing some klezmer about the Bible [klezmer = a folk music style] And while she watched him from afar, Tony studied for the bar. Across a crowded shul, She thought he's way way cool He was cute and he loved his mother She was no one's fool
At the Chuppah, [canopy at a wedding] By the cabana The hottest spot in Butte, Montana [Butte: pop. 34000, Jewish pop. maybe 100] At the Chuppah by the cabana No nicer setting For their happy wedding At the Chuppah They pledged their love
His name was Barry, He was a singer When they raised Lola on her chair, Barry couldn't help but stare And when they dropped her, he ran right over But Barry tried to make a move, Tony didn't like that groove And all the punch they'd drunk Wrought havoc with their junk One big kiss and a lot of passion But well, who'd have thunk
At the Chuppah By the cabana With Mom and Dad, Grampa and Nana At the Chuppah by that cabana Tony and Barry Decided to marry At the Chuppah She lost her love
Her name is Lola, She was a shul girl But now she's married very well, With some stories she can tell She lives in Frisco, where she met Luba She wrote a play about the tale, The play had a movie sale It played the Broadway boards And won like ten awards She has an Oscar, she has a Tony And two Golden Swords
AT THE CHUPPAH IN BUTTE MONTANA The hottest play since OLEANNA At the Chuppah by that cabana She married Luba They signed the ketubah [Jewish marriage contract] At the Chuppah They sealed their love They sealed their love

I never understood how people can go "No you don't follow the way I think thus you can't do that". I think that is what we call discrimination and infringing on peoples rights. Isn't this the type of thing we had back in the 60's? Sure it was black people instead of gay people but the same things still apply. Some one tell me why it is so wrong being gay? If you give me one legit reason then I will forever go against gay marriage.
Yeah, I disabled the ratings. Maybe it's the same-sex wedding subject matter or the treatment of that subject, but after being way up there, the average rating dropped so fast that it looked like a concerted effort by some people to give it 1's. As they say, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean no one's against you - LOL!
So is wearing blended cloth! How many Jews follow that one? And when was the last time we slew our neighbor for breaking the Sabbath? Hey, I've eaten shrimp at a reception in a Reform Temple (many years ago).
To be accurate, the act of gay sex is an abomination while most other things are not. When the bible uses the word "toeiva," it is meant to impress upon the Jewish people the seriousness of the sin itself. gay sex is an Abomination according to Jewish law, BUT reform judaism does not believe in Jewish law. They believe in a hodgepodge of mixing and matching. hofungleb's own admission to eating shrimp in a "temple" is testimony to the fact that reform Jews are Jews in name only.
Nu, blended cloth is also an abomination. How do you dress? If the only Jews are absolute "Torah true", halachic Jews, then show me more than 20 in the world! What about loshen hora, my friend.
you are mistaken. the prohibition of Shaatnez which u refer to as "blended cloth" is NOT an abomination. it is the commandment of not wearing wool with linen, which "Torah True" Jews do not wear, and indeed get any clothing with one of the fabrics checked, to make sure that it is kosher to wear. Loshon Hora is the prohibition of slander, gossip... that is also something that Jews do not do. There are well over 2 million Jews and counting that adhere to the lifestyle G-d Commanded them to live.
