*thud*
DD, do you wish to educate the girl, or shall I?
Please do! And keep in mind, I'm Jewish, so my knowledge of Christmas songs in general is quite limited.
Santa Baby was made famous by Ms. Kitt. Madonna did a cover MANY years later.
I have never heard the original version. They don't play that one in the stores when I am shopping, and I don't seek out Christmas music on my own.
Sorry!
(I will go search if you can tell me who sings the song "I am a latke")
*raises hand*
I know the answer, Liotte!
Is that the potato song?
I'll have to cheat to get that one. I'm shiksa...
GH and DD, you guys can look it up. No helping from Undi or Shira!
Ooh, Google here I come...
You'll get a latke if you figure out the answer!
Sorry Undi, not for 10 more months for you!
Hehe. God, that woman is like a cult, I swear.
Yes she is!
(ok GH, you got some hints...)
OMG why is there a latke on top of that cat???
That is so sweird.
I take it that kitty will not wear that to an Easter parade...
That is really disturbing.
I AM A LATKE
Music and text: Debbie Friedman
I am so mixed up that I cannot tell you,
I’m sitting in this blender turning brown.
I’ve made friends with the onions and the flour,
And the cook is scouting oil in town.
I sit here wondering what will come of me—
I can’t be eaten looking as I do—
I need someone to take me out and cook me
Or I’ll really end up in a royal stew.
I am a latke, I am a latke,
And I am waiting,
for Chanukah to come
Every holiday has foods so special.
Ilike to have that same attention too.
I do not want to spend life in this blender
Wondering what I am supposed to do.
Matzah and Charoset are for Pesach,
Chopped liver and Challah, Shabbat.
Blintzes on Shavuot are delicious,
And gefilte fish no holiday’s without
It’s important that I have an understanding
Of what it is that I’m supposed to do.
You see there are many who are homeless,
With no jobs, no clothes and very little food.
It’s so important that we all remember
That, while we have most of the things we need,
We must remember those who have so little,
We must help them, we must be the ones to feed
Hooray for DD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You win a plate of latkes!
