(I know that's not the point of this thread but I am seeing this error in every magazine and book I pick up, and it's driving me insane! And it's literally the lyrics to the song - If I WERE a rich man!)

I don't listen to secular music much, and I remember how startled I was the first time the original version of Veroba's Mesechte #5 came on on the malls sound system!

Ha.

I had a similar reaction when Piamenta's "asher bara" started playing in a store with decidedly not Hebrew lyrics.

Did you all hear about Google’s new feature where you can hum a tune and it recognizes the song? Dunno if it works with Jewish tunes though

You came fresh from Sunday school, a Bible in your belt,

Bumping this.

It's not from Joseph (I mean, it started out there but it's not what I'm thinking)

(hint: the singer segues into this phrase, it's not the main tune of his song)
