| Parody Written by: | Rice Cube & Watt Daddy |
Okay...so manoshevitz is some kind of sacramental wine, and messugah means "to get sick" and we have absolutely nothing against Jews whatsoever :-)
Don't go too astray
The messioch is coming hither
Put away the yeast
It is Passover Day
Time to eat only matzos
And I'll say "oy vey!"
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long
And soon you can atone
In the synagogue wiiiiith our rabbi
And I guess that's why they call them the Jews
Half their weekends prayin' in solitude
Long curly earlocks
Black hats and trench coats
Got a yarmulke made by old Bubbe
And I guess that's why they call them the Jews
Be true to your race
We all smirk when goyim laugh
Living without fear
Without hesitation
And never forget t' eat kosher
When in our world
Try gefilte fish with some kelp
But more than ever I'd simply love to
Meet wrestling's Goooooooold-berg himself
And I guess that's why they call them the Jews
Eight days of gifts and so much stuff to do
Got Rosh Hoshanah
And then Yom Kippur
Here comes Chanukkah--light the menoraaaah...
And I guess that's why they call them the Jews
You'll get a girl
The matchmaker has upheld
On manosh'vitz you'll get messugah
More than straight eeeeeeeth-yl itself
And I guess that's why they call them the Jews
Only one God and no savior too
Traced back to Adam
Preserved by Noah
Then freed by Moses, who parted the ocean!
And I guess that's why they call them the Jews!
And I guess that's why they call them the Jews...(repeat and fade)

"Messuggah" means crazy.
Y'know, it's a lot more fun if you imagine Elton John singing it like a Chasidic Jew ;-)
LMAO! Score one for being PC!!!
Will the the infamous one guys please comment on why they must deface our parody? I could say a million things about how we tried to keep this light and PC, but you already knew that, didn't you? Oh, and Rice, I said it meant, crazy, didn't I? ;)
Oy vey, not a shtickel of talent displayed in this entire schmeer...
Pretend this is in yiddish: Do you really mean that or would you change your tune had we parodied WASPs or some other less charged social group?
It's that old thing, ya know man, Italians can only make parodys about Italian people, Irish about Irish people, and Black people about Black people, when you do ethnic stuff you always risk that someone will be offended. The only exception seems to be Rednecks who everyone makes fun of. thought it was a funny song
I agree with all of what Wild Man said. I don't think this was offensive, but anytime someone sees the group mentioned (Jews in this case), it raises an eyebrow.
there's no sacraments in judaism and i'm 99% sure that manishewitz is simply kosher and theres nothing else special about it
That does it, I'm going to Jew hell for my blasphemy...except that Watt has informed me that there IS no Jew hell :-/
No "Jew hell"? Two words for ya, Cube: Roy Cohn! And if you don't know he is, I strongly recommend you get a barf bag before you find out.
All I can say is...teehee
very good!!!
Hmm...wait a minute...Rice doesn't LOOK jewish...
Hey One-Guy, read this! http://www.inthe00s.com/cgi-bin/YaBB/YaBB.cgi?board=misheard&action=display&num=1056224545&start=0
Not bad for a "goy". Actually, I found nothing offensive about it. Except for the error about "messugah" (which is actually pronounced "meshugah") and the fact that there is nothing "holy" about Manishevitz wine (while there are certain blessings regarding wine or grape juice, the brand doesn't matter as long as it's Kosher. Also, only "Chassidic" Jews, sometimes known as "ultra-orthodox Jews" have long curly earlocks, black hats and trench coats. Otherwise, pretty good.
I know, Shayne. We were parodying the Hasidic Jews mostly, but didn't mean it to be mean-spirited in any way. Appreciate your comments.
Sensitive subject, but you guys remained pretty PC, so good work on that front.
I really wanted to like this one, but sorry to say it disappointed me. It's just lacking in cleverness, I guess. Plus the words don't rhyme where they ought to... example: trench coats doesn't rhyme with old Bubbe; Yom Kippur and menorah, etc. etc. The best song parodies follow the structure of the originals very closely.
Right on! Great job guys! :-)
LOL
I don't see how this is offensive at all. :/ i thought Manishevitz was a beer until now. How clever i am. Oh well. Not exactly a new or excessively good parody, but not offensive.
Best Religion Parody
Oy! I was going to write an Elton John song parody with this title! Except it was going to be sung by Yassar Arafat!
And white people can't make jokes about anybody.
