September 29, 2009 2:46 am at 2:46 am #1087728shtarkbocherMemberwho analyzes the song so closely?
September 29, 2009 5:19 pm at 5:19 pm #1087729bein_hasdorimParticipantWhen MBD sings “there will be no more lonely Peepholes!
Why is he so worried about the peepholes?
& then Ohel took an intrest in the peepholes too!
Thats how famous MBD is, he mentions a cause & everybody jumps “onboard!”
September 29, 2009 11:17 pm at 11:17 pm #1087730YW Moderator-42ModeratorI believe the source of “before the mountain top opens wide to swallow you inside” is from the haftorah of the first day of Sukkos, (Zecharia 14)
September 30, 2009 1:03 am at 1:03 am #1087731anon for thisParticipantMod 42, thanks for posting that. Even though that perek seems to refer to Har HaZeisim & there’s no mention of anyone being swallowed up, it’s the closest reference in Tanach that I can think of.

October 1, 2009 12:23 pm at 12:23 pm #1087733jphoneMember“Many years alone in his cell wait for detention so faithfully, prisoners unconcious burning in he**, yearning for home so desperately”.
The way my siblings heard the opening stanza to “let my people go” by mbd. We knew it didnt make sense, but that was the family consensus of what we heard.
October 1, 2009 2:45 pm at 2:45 pm #1087734pookieMemberin a certain song part of the lyrics are ”when the roof caved in and the truth came out” my sister thought it was ”when the roots came in and the tree came out”

October 2, 2009 7:27 am at 7:27 am #1087736HaQerMember“How can anybody concentrate, when hearing the ladies in real estate” (The correct word is “latest”)
I always wondered if they were talking so loud that you can hear from the other side of the mechitza or was this part referring to girls trying to concentrate.

I tried unsuccessfully to write a parody of Revach called “Shevach” about a certain meat scandal a few years back.
I understand there is a camp kiddie version called “Nebach” about shidduchim.
I don’t know if I ever posted this version of Hashem Hi Malkynee, dedicated in utmost disrespect to the members of the Ku Klutz Kartel who desecrate it and the memory of its composer at every demonstration from New York to Teheran:
Ahmadinejad Hi Malkynee
Veloi hineni avoodim
Hakoran hakodoish hee chayeynee
Veloi eynynee maaminim
Mekesef mekoifrim anee chayim, anee chayim
Imeen hacheckim anee oichlim, anee oichlim
Bederech harishis nylyche
Baeyesh eebamayim
Baderech harishis nylyche
Lekabel tashlimim kiflayeem!
Ahmadinejad is our king
And we are lost to him (that is with an aleph)
The holy Koran is our life
(But) we do not believe
From the money of heretics we live
And from their cheques we eat
In the ways of evil we walk
In fire and in water (refers to insurance fires and faked flood damage of course)
In the ways of evil we walk
To get double (welfare) payments!

June 1, 2010 9:38 pm at 9:38 pm #1087740cb1Memberpostsemgirl i was just curious as to how u get the lyrics to songs i am a composer and singer for a long time and whenever i was singing at a simcha and the musician started playing this song (Ki Hatov) i just made up words for it as i went along!
June 1, 2010 9:52 pm at 9:52 pm #1087741d aMemberpostsemgirl, where are the words from?
June 1, 2010 10:00 pm at 10:00 pm #1087742emoticon613Memberthis is the first time i ever knew the words to that song!!!!! i’m so excited!!!!!!
June 1, 2010 10:17 pm at 10:17 pm #1087743postsemgirlMembercb1- one of my greatest pet peeves is not knowing words to songs and when other people sing the wrong words to songs so I make sure to learn all the words right away. If you have the cd, the words are usually on the paper that comes along with it. If I lose it then I listen over and over again to the song.
do you have any other songs that you wanted to know?
da- Im not home now but when I get home I will try to check
June 1, 2010 10:43 pm at 10:43 pm #1087744cb1MemberAhallel Amallel by Yeedle do u know the words to that one? and wat about Bar Hey Hey from ybc
June 1, 2010 11:27 pm at 11:27 pm #1087745musictomyearsMemberpostsemgirl,i agree with you all the way!!!it gets me soo nervous when ppl make up words to a song.now i know im not the only person who reads the pamphlet it comes with!!
June 2, 2010 12:55 am at 12:55 am #1087746mr. wheelchairMemberAnyone know the words to Meydad Tasa’s Ima song? It sounds like he says something about rehab in the 2nd low part! He can’t speak (or sing) a word of English!
June 2, 2010 1:12 am at 1:12 am #1087747mazal77Participantda, I was looking at your post from a few months back about Yaacov Shweky’s Shema, and just yesterday, heard my 6 year old, singing the same words, “when you feel pain, when you rejoice, nobody wants to hear your voice” So apparently, you’re not the only one who hears it that way either.
June 2, 2010 1:25 am at 1:25 am #1087748d aMemberThe song Someday from MBD, pepole don’t seem to know all the words. The high parts are very well known, however, the low parts, especially the second half people sing all different things.
Not only that, but many times I found Someday written down with a lot of mistakes. (PS: I am not looking for the lyrics)
June 2, 2010 2:07 am at 2:07 am #1087749music lover29MemberI just know the classic story in my family that my older sister when hearing MBD’s “someday”
“Never will we have to express any fears..”
she asked fearfully why “our stars and moons will disappear” while in reality in words are “our scars and our wounds”.
The funny thing is, that this story happened many years ago, and just last week with my 5 year old youngest sister in the car and this song was playing she asked the same question! so I guess its not that uncommon! 🙂
June 2, 2010 4:05 am at 4:05 am #1087750vitameatavegaminMemberI don’t know if this true but this story was circulating 🙂
dont know all the details (every version changes) but basically there was a cleaning lady of some sort who was working and they had Jewish music on–the people she was working for asked her if she minded that they played Jewish music.
she replied: ‘no i dont mind–and i especially like that song “i love him i love him”.
I love him i love him? ends up, she was talking about yehuda greens song “anuvim anuvim!!” 😀
June 2, 2010 4:12 am at 4:12 am #1087751vitameatavegaminMemberooooopps sorry meant yossi green!!!!!!
June 2, 2010 4:29 am at 4:29 am #1087752smartcookieMemberMusiclover- that’s so cute!!
In general, I hate when singers don’t sounds their words clearly. What’s the point of the song if they’re just swallowing a whole bunch of words?

June 2, 2010 6:58 am at 6:58 am #1087755sof davar hakol nishmaMemberpostsem i’m totally with you, it gets me sooo nervous when i don’t know the words so usually i read along the first time.
another one of those cute mistakes kids make:

June 2, 2010 4:17 pm at 4:17 pm #1087758emoticon613Memberpostsemgirl, i think it’s amar leib bar hey hey, not lay.
anyone actually know the words to ahallel, amallel?
June 2, 2010 4:36 pm at 4:36 pm #1087759AinOhdMilvadoParticipantMaybe it might be “ash and stone”??? (ash n’ stone)???
June 2, 2010 4:45 pm at 4:45 pm #1087760YW Moderator-80MemberThanks
Could be, but the consensus seemed to be “ashen stone”
June 2, 2010 4:45 pm at 4:45 pm #1087761Mayan_DvashParticipantIt is amar lay [sic] -> it’s a braisa, I think, Bar Hay Hay says to Hillel, in the mishna, it says “l’himanos” It should have said “l’himalos” …..

June 2, 2010 4:59 pm at 4:59 pm #1087762sof davar hakol nishmaMembermayan dvash yes its amar lay – i’m almost positive it’s in pirkay avos same mishna as ben bag bag omer…

June 2, 2010 11:47 pm at 11:47 pm #1087765philosopherMembermovingmountains, I asked the same question on another thread and got answered by Daas Yochid. I copied his translation onto this post.
Anovim lyrics: (not my translation)
At the hour that the king moshiach comes, stands on the roof of the beis hamikdosh (holy temple) and he announces to Israel and says:
Anovim anovim, (modest ones) the time of your redemption has come, and if you dont believe, see my light that shines

Does anyone know the words (and meaning) of the last sentence of ‘Beep beep’ – Country Yossi
“He held on to his shtreimel, and yelled out loud and slow….?”

May 26, 2011 1:55 pm at 1:55 pm #1087772oomisParticipantThe classic for me in secular tunes was the old Archie Bunker theme. I NEVER could get the enxt to the last line of the song (the one that was just before “those were the days…”) It didn’t sound like ANYTHING comprhensible. I subsequently learned what it was. Apparently many people had the same issue with the lyrics, and the lead actors re-recorded the opener of the show, after several years, with a much clearer (slowly and deliberately enunciated) version.
May 26, 2011 2:04 pm at 2:04 pm #1087773☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantOomis,
Gee, our old LaSalle ran great!

May 26, 2011 11:38 pm at 11:38 pm #1087775oomisParticipantDaas Yochid, it was thoughtful of you to post, but I knew the lyrics from when Archie and Edith re-recorded the opener. Edith made a special point of strongly enunciating that line,” Gee… our old La SALLE…RAN….GREAT…”
May 27, 2011 12:47 am at 12:47 am #1087776brotherofursParticipantLOL this thread is so funny and helpful
