Ashkanazi Jew who loves Klezmer here, this is easily my favorite cover you've done so far on aesthetic alone (and of course it sounds great too). The fact that you took the effort to translate the rap into Yiddish AND put some random Yiddishisms in there was just too perfect! Thank you so much for keeping alive two of my favorite things about my people.
Has anyone else ever thought about how flipping hard it would be to learn the accordian? A piano on one end, all those random buttons on the other, all while moving your arms in time with the music. Just.... Hot damn, if you can play the accordian well, you have my forever undying respect as a musician.
@@Cora.T they weight upwards to 30lbs (13.6kg) and the lower end is closer to 12lbs (5.44kg) for the smaller ones. This said, everyone is different as most are handmade, and unique. So depending on the maker, and what materials they used, the Weight can differ drastically.
Speaking as a KLEZ musician for forty years who paid his way through law school playing at weddings...I just love this whole group and this STAGING and presentation.... I especially love the CLARINETIST...one of the best I have heard playing this style of music in the sense not just of his technical proficiency but more importantly for his understanding the role of the clarinet as a " fill in " instrument which provides the whole " feel " and KVETCH of traditional Klez music GREAT...GREAT...GREAT
Never gets old, so much better than the original. In fact I no longer know what any of the originals sound like now.... PMJ does it so much better. Hoping to catch you on tour in the UK next year.
The effort Robyn put in to translate the rap into Yiddish as well as her excellent delivery (I'm not a Yiddish speaker but from what I've heard it sounds right on) makes this an especial labor of love. PMJ is rich with true professionals, but Robyn really shone in this one. My thanks to you folks for bringing some happiness and enjoyment into my life...as disabled as I am, those joys are few and far between.
I don't speak yiddish, but my grandparents did. So did whole generations of my ancestors. And when she starts to sing in yiddish my heart skips a bit, like I feel it genetically
True, it's never too late. Reading posts like this make me so, so grateful my grandparents' families never spoke to me in English. I didn't realize at the time how lucky I was.
Oh my G-d, are you me? I feel the exact same, my Bubbe and Zayde also spoke Yiddish, my mother knows a couple "Yiddish-isms" and taught me, but I want to learn more.
absolutely addictive. Just can't stop returning to view this. The treatment of this music with a klezmer scale and kvetching just fits. What is very clever is the tempo change during the 2Chainz rap, which made it sound very authentic.
I'm pretty sure Balkan Beat Box is basically Klezmer turned into EDM, and then Derulo sampled them, and you guys covered Derulo in a Klezmer style here bringing the sample back around full circle. XD
Singer: Robyn Adele Anderson. Violinist: David Wong THIS is an excellent cover song. Ms. Anderson's singing is sooooo smooth and awesome. I have no idea if she is singing the Jewish Yiddish words correctly or not but considering that probably is NOT her second language, she sounds awesome and natural. She sings this other language without hesitation just fluidly as if it were hers, just soooo cool and smooth about it. I looked up her other song covers and have enjoyed them now too. NOTE: @ 01:41 the Drummer pops his head up and raises his hand to say "Hi I'm back here' in the back :) I only only just noticed that. Love this song and all the instruments. The musicians did a great job at capturing that Klezmer music sound :)
Listening to the Yiddish rap section of this song, I can now scratch hearing Shakira talk dirty in Yiddish off my bucket list! Thank you!! Seriously, extremely talented and Robyn's voice fits the vocals and intent perfectly!
People often don't know that Palestinian refers to the Roman name for the Philistines, a sea-people not related to the Arabs, who are half-brothers to the Jews, both having had the same ancestral father, Abraham (in Hebrew) Ibrahim (in Arabic).
Not according to my sources. Repulsed in their unsuccessful invasion of Egypt ca. 2025 BC. 200 yr. struggle with Israelites. There may be some blood mixture with Arabs from original Philistines, especially where they were strongest, Gaza.
Yiddish ... combination of german and swiss, has to be elegant language among ortodox jewish society. In reality sounds greeat , I am amazed by beauty and extraordinary sound which remainds me of my childhood and clearest intentions of my mind. I do love Yiddish culture, music and those simple religious people, they are wonderfull society ... caring and in many ways sophisticated, rich in ingredients as well in nature. They are real jewish treasure ... mentors , as well legitimate society . I love your as mine tradition . My grandmother always telling me : be honest to anyone regardles of intentions
Keryn Kleiman if I may ask, what is your interest in swiss, slavic, german ... bohemian , maybe groove ? languages , culture or perhaps individualistic agendas , do those cultures have mutual indentinity ?
Yiddish is a Mix of German..Polish and Hebrew...as others said before..swiss is not a Language...there are 3 Main Swiss Languages....so you are incorect
Well, in Switzerland there no states, there are kantons, so they cannot speak creole or caribean but they do speak german, french and italian, but official language is german - swiss which sound like Yiddish !
So I'm German and I kind of understand words from the Yiddish part, but it's things like "International barbie stick" , "pig's ears" and "you keep photographs away from me" Really entertaining :D
Daniel Golani This is why I was in the comments, trying to see if there's a Yiddish speaker here that could say if that was actual Yiddish or Yiddish-sounding-Gibberish...
Meikeeee I think that one part was "international bar mitzvah" to replace the original line "international oral sex". The rest, I can't understand (except for including the words "big booty" in English).
I have been uneasy, distressed, anxious and whatever synonyms... for months. This, and the other videos of yours, made me smile and relax at least a bit. Your playing, your work, is truly important. Thank you!
You could be. But you probably aren't. It's a big world. But an even bigger universe. There are probably a lot of people that agree with you. Like me. Allons-Y!
so im listening to this in a playlist and just as i flick back to this tab all i see is the drummer at 1:41 .... YOU SIR ARE LEGENDARY and have made my day
In the Besht's day, Hasidism was not nearly as "conservative," a trait of the Misnagdim mainline which of course stressed study of Written & Oral Torah over the ecstasy of the immanence of HaShem. As many could not read, & some did not even know prayers, the origins of Hasidism saw a different sort of worship, often including the effects of glorious wine, as well. We didn't invent anything related to sexuality in this age -- we more closely resemble the Renaissance today than we do the world of strict propriety associated with Neoclassicism, Victorian, & blue-stocking worlds, & their comparative "ultra-pious" movements in Judaism. Maybe I've gone too far away from the subject here, especially by likening disparate societies, not all of them Judean, and straining to point out the tolerance of early Hasidism compared to today's versions. Oh well. One of the biggest problem in thought today is thinking that we have original ideas rather than contemporary expressions of older ideas. The wheel was invented long ago, and to use a popular example, the Egyptians did not draw figures in 2D because they were too stupid to know how to do 3D pics. There! I've used hundreds of words to say nothing important!
I'm a Texas beer-joint, weekend-warrior, musician and, because all the best beer-joints now have internet juke boxes, I hear every imaginable tune on the juke box while I'm setting up, on my breaks and while I'm breaking down. This one gets played a LOT and, until now, I didn't like it but now I've changed my mind. You brought some real class to it. I love-you-back Scott Bradlee (and all your friends too).

This was the first PMJ video I ever saw, and it sold me. I was grinning from ear to ear all the way through and, by the end, I decided that Robyn was the love of my life. Then, I listened to some more PMJ and realized that I was just a kid in a candy store, with too many loves to choose only one. Sigh. Life is difficult. But music makes it better.
Escucho el violín , el acordeón y el idish con el que se comunicaban mi bobe y mi madre. Las lágrimas me invaden y recuerdo lo feliz que era hace 60 años
**Standing Applause** Yowza! Well done PMJB! First off, I love klezmer, it is a fantastic folk sound, so lively. Once again you have covered a song in a way that makes me never want to hear the original.
I missed a show here in Clearwater last year at a local theater, but I cannot wait to see PMJ come back here one day. I would love to see you guys do the Halftime show at the Super Bowl. Someone needs to start a petition. Also, Ms. Anderson has amazing vocals and is gorgeous.
+impofstpete727 Thank you so much! We are hitting our North America tour later on this fall, so keep tuned on our website for updates and final venues and shows! postmodernjukebox.com/
I miss this :( Scott buddy, as a fellow musician you have my 110% respect for the new things you are doing... but somewhere along the line this magic was lost.
that's it..the song that got me hooked to pmj. Two and a half years ago someone posted in on tumblr, i discovered this amazing band, i saw them live this june and honestly god bless for yalls covers they give me life
of all the Yiddish Jason Derulo covers I've seen, this one is definitely the best.
+ Hayley Johnson how many yiddish covers of Jason Deulo have you seen
+Joshua M all of them
Thought it was Balkan.
+Hayley Johnson If its in PMJ.. expect it to be one of the best
Yes, it was :)
I have seen Robyn sing in Spanish, Korean and Yiddish. Respect, people.
+Dean Webb Is there a video of her singing in Korean?
Frank Fiorella She sings Psy's 'Gentleman' right here on the You Tubes, check PMJ's channel for it. It's awesome..
Dean Webb Awesome, thanks!
and spanish?
+Ana María Yes, she sings Avicii's "Wake Me Up" in a Mariachi style and Spanish. The video is right here on PMJ's channel. It's awesome.
It’s been 8 years and I demand more Klezmer- style covers
she has her own yt channel covering in that style all the time
Saw a pop up klezmer group in the medieval area of Barcelona one night, fantastic
I second that!
I could listen to that Yiddish rap forever and never tire.
1:56 your welcome everyone
+VenetianTemper Thank you
Really starts at 1:39 with the countdown intro.
Don
I'm with you.

That is a long ass self classification.
@@javierduenasjimenez7930Jewish people are extremely specific about everything
Same EXACT vibe here, comrade.
Not Jewish but I love the klezmer music. Reminds me of fiddler on the roof
Has anyone else ever thought about how flipping hard it would be to learn the accordian? A piano on one end, all those random buttons on the other, all while moving your arms in time with the music. Just.... Hot damn, if you can play the accordian well, you have my forever undying respect as a musician.
You'd respect a lot of Newfoundlanders then. the accordion is a fairly common instrument back home!
On top of all that I believe it is also quite heavy
@@Cora.T they weight upwards to 30lbs (13.6kg) and the lower end is closer to 12lbs (5.44kg) for the smaller ones. This said, everyone is different as most are handmade, and unique. So depending on the maker, and what materials they used, the Weight can differ drastically.
@@adamrogers1889 if your not used to that, it is a lot to hold up for a long time
D'ac! Old organist. Trained to do it with both hands and both feet. But at least we could sneak a peek. No such look on the squeezebox.
I'm not Jewish but my heart skipped a beat when she started singing in Yiddish.
Im Jewish and I speak Yiddish so to hear that was such a rare treat. Not so many Yiddish speakers left.
What was she saying ?
izzy4reel wish I could speak Yiddish...
Her pronunciation isn't great, so I could only get bits and pieces, so its hard to directly translate.
I'm Jewish and hearing a modern person speaking Yiddish makes me tear up.
That accordian and violin are like , oh, too good.
I know right!
Jason Patowsky Too Balcanic
@@drustvoizparka2354 That's where the sample in the original came from
The real star here is the clarinet but we don't see her that much
You're forgetting the clarinet
Whoever arranged this is a genius. Respect!
+Nadezhda Dimitrova Thank you :)
Seriously, it is by far my favorite.
+PostmodernJukebox Really...you are a fucking genius.
He’s the guy at the piano
It's Scott Bradlee
She's by far the best Yiddish jazz rapper I've ever heard!
Seriously, all those other Yiddish jazz rappers could learn a lot from her.
Is Yiddish jazz rap a thing? Awesome
kibitz
Speaking as a KLEZ musician for forty years who paid his way through law school playing at weddings...I just love this whole group and this STAGING and presentation....
I especially love the CLARINETIST...one of the best I have heard playing this style of music in the sense not just of his technical proficiency but more importantly for his understanding the role of the clarinet as a " fill in " instrument which provides the whole " feel " and KVETCH of traditional Klez music
GREAT...GREAT...GREAT
Buddy on the violin was killin it!!!!
Anyone noticed guy at the backround at 1:42 ? :D
The non vintage keyboard player was sick of not being contemporary.
pretty sure hes the drummer lol
I like that bit when the drummer waves hi right after she says One.
Haha! OMG!😂
Notice me sempai!!!!
I think I fell in love with the singer. It is divine. Voice, facial features, facial expressions. It is ideal. Greetings from Russia.
She's perfect!!!
Ya, we can only keep on dreaming guys.
Cristian Sosa
ya filthy blagards
Yep. Greetings from my peni----- I mean America. Yep. America.
She's real good.
1:42 hi drummer !
didn't notice until i saw your comment. What has been see cannot be unseen . Thank you captain.
Cute
Hello there!
The world needs more Yiddish Rap!
1:41 The drummer is waving at us from the background! I noticed you, friend!
Me too
I saw your comment and was looking for him, but I didn't see him, I had to watch twice but I saw him!
Never gets old, so much better than the original. In fact I no longer know what any of the originals sound like now.... PMJ does it so much better. Hoping to catch you on tour in the UK next year.
This is so full of win. Robyn's amazing, the Klezmer style totally fits the song, and the Yiddish rap is a keeper. I love it.
This is what I love about this channel. It's amazing how a simple change of genre can turn something Insufferable into something great!
I can finally listen to this song...
Robyn has a gaze that would have stopped Ptolemaic armies in their tracks and ended whole civilisations in antiquity. Absolutely devastating.
that chorus melody played on the clarinet/ violin combo sounds unbelievably sick
Because this is how it is meant to be played, Jason Derulo sampled a Balkan Beat Box song. Balkan music is for a large part influenced by klezmer.
ok, I just watched 30 seconds of the "original" video and couldn't help shutting it down and coming back to this cover. MUCH. BETTER.
Beto Francischinelli agreed
Beto Francischinelli The only good thing in the original is the music he sings over, which is actually a sampled part of Hermetico (also much better)
Beto Francischinelli Oh... you too? XD
Beto Francischinelli Too right! The original makes me want to throw things at the screen.
EndisNi Yeah, I watched about 30 seconds of the original version, and, now I need a new monitor.
Oh my god Robyn speaking Yiddish is something I didn't know I wanted, but I absolutely fucking did
I AGREEEEEE
The effort Robyn put in to translate the rap into Yiddish as well as her excellent delivery (I'm not a Yiddish speaker but from what I've heard it sounds right on) makes this an especial labor of love. PMJ is rich with true professionals, but Robyn really shone in this one.
My thanks to you folks for bringing some happiness and enjoyment into my life...as disabled as I am, those joys are few and far between.
1:42
Hello! Yes I see you drummer!
O\oO
hahahaha
Lol
naw ima geetarwrist ;()
AirMouse omg yes (waving) HI DRUMMER!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
2:08 I HEARD "INTERNATIONAL BAR MITZVAH"
yes you heard correctly.
Alright lads we've been prompted
What does it mean?
when I heard it I thought the same and then saw this comment
Also "Booty geschrieben" which with my limited German I can assume means "describe your booty".
I don't speak yiddish, but my grandparents did. So did whole generations of my ancestors. And when she starts to sing in yiddish my heart skips a bit, like I feel it genetically
True, it's never too late. Reading posts like this make me so, so grateful my grandparents' families never spoke to me in English. I didn't realize at the time how lucky I was.
Me too...my heart stop...and I Just cry....U rock!!!
same im rootless also due to ww2 displacing my family,i dont speak it and just consider myself english despite the jewish part on my mums side
Yiddish is on duolingo if you ever want to try to learn!
Oh my G-d, are you me? I feel the exact same, my Bubbe and Zayde also spoke Yiddish, my mother knows a couple "Yiddish-isms" and taught me, but I want to learn more.
So THIS is why Robyn needed help with Yiddish translations. Wow, awesome job! So entertaining!
Also, Chip's cameo at 1:42 was amazing.
Oh god yes, TALK YIDDISH TO ME.
Talk nerdy to me
+adinda alwi Can't talk, speechless
Im sorry to say it mam/sir but you seem to have caught the TALK YIDDISH TO ME disease.
+adinda alwi talk serbian to me ;)
my god what has this comment section come too.
Robyn is absolutely -one of- the best performers I've seen on PMJ. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
absolutely addictive. Just can't stop returning to view this. The treatment of this music with a klezmer scale and kvetching just fits. What is very clever is the tempo change during the 2Chainz rap, which made it sound very authentic.
As a Jewish who grew on this kind of music, this is very entertaining!! love it!
Amit Mark Could you give us lyrics?? very interested!
Her: Talk dirty to me.
Me: I haven't washed my hands in 20 minutes.
Artificial Leech :o
at this point, you are deadly not just dirty HAHAHA
hawt
@Death Omen It will if they speak Yiddish. It won't mean the same thing, but it will still be funny.
the virus!
the multilingualism of this girl blows me away.
I'm pretty sure Balkan Beat Box is basically Klezmer turned into EDM, and then Derulo sampled them, and you guys covered Derulo in a Klezmer style here bringing the sample back around full circle. XD

Robyn is so amazing!! She can sing in so many languages!
1:42 the drummer xD "NOTICE ME!"
never would have noticed...nice catch
ha i saw it to
oh god that makes it that much better
Listening to the Yiddish rap section of this song, I can now scratch hearing Shakira talk dirty in Yiddish off my bucket list! Thank you!! Seriously, extremely talented and Robyn's voice fits the vocals and intent perfectly!
does anyone else just imagine them singing this in the time period of the music and think how scandalous the lyrics would be then?
+Hali OutbackPuppy omg yes it would be beautiful
Haha! i can imagine them being burnt 🙈
+Hali OutbackPuppy The Yiddish theater was pretty risque, actually.

I used to hate this song, but I loved this version!
+ArkayneShad0w |Fog| its a good song but yea this is realllyyyy good
Amen to that! This song is trash in the mainstream but this version is DOPE
It's literally the same lyrics morons..
I love Klezmer!
It's so fun!
Can you suggest some good klezmer videos on youtube?
I have a Klezmer Nuthouse Pandora station and it's got some great music. You can listen to some of their songs on TH-cam but there aren't visuals.
Same here and I'd love to learn playing it on the violin. I usually play classical violin so I don'treally know how
So I'm German and I kind of understand words from the Yiddish part, but it's things like "International barbie stick" , "pig's ears" and "you keep photographs away from me" Really entertaining :D
Don't worry, I speak Yiddish fluently and have no idea what she's trying to say. ^_^
Daniel Golani It sounds good though, so who cares :D

Devan Thayer Lund Oh, and in the beginning she says "zwei keytn", which is Yiddish for "two chains".
Art has no boundaries. All it needs is good artists :)

Now I won't be happy until she is a companion. DAMN YOU OverlordMiki, for you have ruined my life.
so im listening to this in a playlist and just as i flick back to this tab all i see is the drummer at 1:41 .... YOU SIR ARE LEGENDARY and have made my day
Every time I listen to this song, I imagine a rabbi just shaking his head in disapproval lol
Really? I imagine one dancing and going crazy XD

First class seat on my lap girl, riding comfortable
I know what the girl them need
New York to Haiti
I got lipstick stamps on my passport
You make it hard to leave
Been around the world, don't speak their language
But your booty don't need explaining
All I really need to understand is
When you-you talk dirty to me
Talk dirty to me
Talk dirty to me
Talk dirty to me
Get Kletzmer on it
You know the words to my songs
דו רעדסט ייִדיש ניט (Du redst Yidish nit)
Our conversations ain't long
But you know what is
I know what the girl them want
London to Taiwan
I got lipstick stamps on my passport
I think I need a new one
Been around the world, don't speak their language
But your booty don't need explaining
All I really need to understand is
When you-you talk dirty to me
Talk dirty to me
Talk dirty to me
Get Kletzmer on it
אײנס (‘eyns), met your friend in Rio
צווײ (tsvey), she was all on me, oh
דרײַ (dray), we can ménage à three though
פֿיר (fir), Ooo-oh
צװײ קײטן, געטונד צו גאָען
יעדע אױסשטעלונג איז אױס פאַרקױפן
גילבערט אַרענאַס האָבט פּלאַצן אױף פענסטער
ברוסט אַן ברוסט און ױפ אַ האַרט שטענדער
אינטערנאַציאָנאַל באַרבי-צװײַען
בילדער איך נאַמע; איך בין דער בעסטער
פאָוטאָגראַפיע דעװאַרצט דו פון מיר
יעדער טאָג איך באַקומע סװאַגגער
איך האָב אַ נאָמען אין מײן טעלעפאָן ראַטעװען
געשריבן „big booty‟ אַבער האָב איך
איך האָב אַ נאָמען אין מײן טעלעפאָן ראַטעװען
געשריבן „big booty‟ אַבער האָב איך

Been around the world, don't speak their language
But your booty don't need explaining
All I really need to understand is
When you-you talk dirty to me
Talk dirty to me

Good Translation, I'll improve translation CC soon . . . . . . Should it be phonetic or yiddish text? Let me know what you think?
JDevPeabody If you could do side by side that would be best, otherwise just phonetic is fine. Thank you so much for improving my bluh yiddish
thank you so much! been looking for the yiddish lyrics so long!
Wow Thank you
Thank you! That'S what I came to the comment section for!
=D such awesome control. You can hear her in the beginning want to sing in her boisterous natural style. Vocal clarity and punctuated! Nice
Scott Bradley is a prodigy and Robyn Anderson is the dopest PMJ singer in my humble opinion. Fantastic voice for this set.
Robyn's dress is gorgeous!
She looks and sounds amazing!
Robyn picks up accents really well! this is one of my favorites!
I like how these songs are so much better (in most cases) than the original artists.
They all sound the same to me regardless of genre of music.
This version of this song is my absolute favorite. The Yiddish is so beautiful. I could listen to this forever.
You gotta make more classics! Throw us some Stones, Zeppelin, Doors...
You guys are great!
I absolutely adore this channel. IT is the best music I have heard in years. Many many years.
We are SO happy you discovered us! We just love new fans!
I had heard a person say they’ve listened to this for two days straight. I’m not that obsessed yet. But I very glad this exists
Let's see how it goes Tumblr?
Thyme yeah
Hands down the best PMJ song!
You have officially broken my mind. I love it.
This was the first PMJ video I ever saw, and it sold me. I was grinning from ear to ear all the way through and, by the end, I decided that Robyn was the love of my life. Then, I listened to some more PMJ and realized that I was just a kid in a candy store, with too many loves to choose only one. Sigh. Life is difficult. But music makes it better.
It's like getting a little piece of your favorite musical candy every time you guys post something.
I WANT more. NO, I demand more. Come on. I did not even know I needed this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this, and utterly HILARIOUS that this track is sung to klezmer music!
Escucho el violín , el acordeón y el idish con el que se comunicaban mi bobe y mi madre. Las lágrimas me invaden y recuerdo lo feliz que era hace 60 años
That violinist is just slaying it
Ah, yes, the deleted song from Fiddler On The Roof
This! 😆😆👍🏼
Funny! :-)
The adult sequel of Fiddler of The Roof: Diddler on the Porch
And then there is the Lovecraftian New England version: A Shoggoth On The Roof.
No, really. Look it up.
What a pleasure to listen to! Talent - beyond your years!
Thank you for sharing this Post Modern Jukebox (Swing) music with us.
+Jeffrey Bryer Glad you enjoy our music Jeffrey! You can check out our website for more updates on new music and upcoming shows postmodernjukebox.com/
David Wong the violinist was FEELING IT!Damn!!
I love PMJ, but this may be the greatest number they've ever produced yet . . . and Robyn, what a voice!
**Standing Applause**
Yowza! Well done PMJB! First off, I love klezmer, it is a fantastic folk sound, so lively. Once again you have covered a song in a way that makes me never want to hear the original.
This is still one of my favorites that you guys have done!
Awesome! Feel free to get it on iTunes! itunes.apple.com/il/album/talk-dirty/id880338868?i=880340939&app=itunes&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
I missed a show here in Clearwater last year at a local theater, but I cannot wait to see PMJ come back here one day. I would love to see you guys do the Halftime show at the Super Bowl. Someone needs to start a petition. Also, Ms. Anderson has amazing vocals and is gorgeous.
+impofstpete727 Thank you so much! We are hitting our North America tour later on this fall, so keep tuned on our website for updates and final venues and shows! postmodernjukebox.com/
+PostmodernJukebox What about Mumbai?😍
+impofstpete727 they are coming back to clearwater! I'll be there!
Hearing the term "booty" in this style of music is just unsettling
Plo Koon Well, it isn't. Not originally at least. Klezmer used to be played during weddings of which the festivities weren't a religious occasion.
They should have said tuchus. It scans :P
Its awesome though
What's the matter? When days are rainy, gotta wear them booties
Really they should have said Djibouti, as this is supposed to be a pun (I thought?)
Fiddler on the Roof meets the Sherlock Holmes soundtrack meets "some pop song"... BRILLIANT!
Lol everytime that I hear this song I remember Fiddler on the roof XD
That's the perfect way to describe it!! XD
.
I am from Mississippi. I love this girl’s voice\music
I miss this :( Scott buddy, as a fellow musician you have my 110% respect for the new things you are doing... but somewhere along the line this magic was lost.
this is the best postmodern jukebox cover I've heard so far
that's it..the song that got me hooked to pmj. Two and a half years ago someone posted in on tumblr, i discovered this amazing band, i saw them live this june and honestly god bless for yalls covers they give me life
PLEASE MAKE MORE YIDDISH/KLEZMER SONGS VERSIONS!!! THIS IS MY ALL TIME VERY FAVOURITE OF YOURS!!!!!
Even though I hate the song , this makes it all better
I was just thinking Chip Thomas was in it but invisible when suddenly at 1:42 up he pops! Brilliant reworking of this one!
Seriously, I wanna do one of these videos with you guys! :,D
*Loved* the Yiddish rap!
Just stumbled onto this. It's a blast!!! What a cool idea. Been listening to it all afternoon. I am a fan for sure now!!! Love to see em live.
So happy you discovered us! We would love for you to come to a live show! In which part of the world do you live?
USA, CT. Near NY
Какая она классная)! Robin super! )
I love yiddish klezmer, gypsy and Swing.. Totally get stucked onto this 💕
My all time favorite. Talent. Creativity. Unique.
she's so great that i like it the video, then turn the monitor upside down to like it again.
that finally explains all the dislikes, thank you for bringing logic in this world :)
Wow! I adore klezmer style anyway, but it is especially cool is that Robyn translated 2 Chainz' Rap into Yiddish!
This never ages........ Outstanding cover
Cute and pretty! Thanks for putting a smile on my face, even though I've forgotten all of the little Yiddish I used to know :)
