Reply To: 'jewish' songs with non jewish tunes

There’s a lot to be said on both sides of the issue. Some wild Rock, Hip-Hop or Jazz songs should not be sung even with the (converted) Jewish lyrics. Others, Especially from Classical Music are inspiring. And, with the changed lyrics (where it applies) are fully acceptable. There is a legend about a song with the (original) lyrics in Hungarian that is very popular in some (Here’s an oxymoron.) Chassidic circles. Or, the original tune to MBD’s song “Yidden” is from a German Rock Band.
