Are you kidding? Who needs other people’s adaptations of existing songs? There are already Jewish songs that just take totally random phrases and put them to a tune.

For instance, as mentioned above, “Timche” by MBD. I’ve never understood why that’s a song. Especially with a tune like that.

And “Im Lavan Garti.” I think it’s Shwekey. But that’s okay, really, compared to some of the other ones.

Then there’s my favorite. In ninth grade, we were learning about the Zugot in Historia, and we got to Hillel and Shammai. We’re learning some anecdotes about Hillel and we get to his establishing the pruzbul. One girl raises her hand and says, “Oh, that’s a song, right?” My teacher looked like she was going to ROTFL.

But honestly. That is some song. A song about an edict about lending money before shmittah? Really?
