Song Parodies -> Neveh Dekalim
| Original Song Title: | "Walk Away Renee" |
| Original Performer: | The Left Banke |
| Parody Song Title: | "Neveh Dekalim" |
| Parody Written by: | MasonR |
Neveh Dekalim is empty now. It's in Gaza, and Israelis lived there until today. Here's a serious, sad parody from the perspective of a settler who lived his life in Gaza, and never thought this day would come. No matter how you feel about the politics surrounding it, this is a moment to recognize humanity and pain, and to pray for Shalom - peace.
The morning sun rose
and I prayed here one last time
Soldiers knock on my door
The moment has arrived
Must leave today, Neveh
Dekalim, I must move from my home
My brother says I must go
I wonder where I'll roam?
Please, bring Shalom
The playground's empty now
Where all my children played
We're on a bus, they're crying
As we drive away
Must leave today, Neveh
Dekalim, I must move from my home
All my life I have lived there
I wonder where I'll roam?
Please, bring Shalom
They say that if we go
There is a chance for peace
But no one really knows
And so, G-d, hear my plea
Must leave today, Neveh
Dekalim, I have moved from my home
When will this endless war end?
Will I have to move once more?
Please, bring Shalom
and I prayed here one last time
Soldiers knock on my door
The moment has arrived
Must leave today, Neveh
Dekalim, I must move from my home
My brother says I must go
I wonder where I'll roam?
Please, bring Shalom
The playground's empty now
Where all my children played
We're on a bus, they're crying
As we drive away
Must leave today, Neveh
Dekalim, I must move from my home
All my life I have lived there
I wonder where I'll roam?
Please, bring Shalom
They say that if we go
There is a chance for peace
But no one really knows
And so, G-d, hear my plea
Must leave today, Neveh
Dekalim, I have moved from my home
When will this endless war end?
Will I have to move once more?
Please, bring Shalom

Very well done, touching parody. 555
Shalom, Salaam, Peace, and Mir --- over there --- and over here.
This really captures the spirit of the day's traumatic events. Very well done.
Very well expressed, Mason. Will Ariel Sharon go down in history as the architect of peace between Israel and the Palestinians or as just another leader who caved in to terrorists?
Once this current round of fighting started, I knew there would never be peace between Israel and the Arabs -- I won't dignify them by calling them "Palestinians" -- until the two dinosaurs were out of the picture. Arafat is now dead. And if the alternative to Sharon is Benjamin Netanyahu, then we may never live to see it.
