It is Wonderful.......2007-06-08

this is a great CD i love the music so much, i love remakes of actual songs into jewish songs its funny two. there are 2 songs that have that have the words SOB. but do not judge the CD based on those its still a fantastic CD and i wish there was more.

Hanukkah in Santa Monica.......2007-02-07

Tom Lehrer is the best. If you hear this cut...you will have it happily in your head.

And if you like Jewish comedy... go find the CD --- You Don't Have to be Jewish. It is a whole album of classics...

Enjoy!

Just more schtick.......2006-05-14

I'm getting kind of over the same old schtick all the time. WHy is it that Jews always self depricate? God knows, the Christians never do that. They're very proud all the time. Jews seem to come off "silly" and sophomoric. I suppose this compilation is pretty comprehensive as far as artists, but it sure would be nice if someone put an album together that had a little more heart to it.

last track: What I Like About Jew.......2006-04-11

For a more modern take on funny Jewish songs, check out What I Like About Jew's CD, titled Unorthodox , also for sale on Amazon. Sarcastic, hilarious, two very talented New York boys.
