I found this song called 'Driedel, Dreidel, Dreidel' with Shoshana Bean n cast, so I listened to it. Has anyone listened to it? I has Harvery Fierstein, Kerry Butler and like casts of Hairspray ... all about Jews. It is such a fun song... but what is this song about? Anyone, did I miss out sth?
My HAIRSPRAY the musical group!!!!!!!!!

It was a song recorded for "Carols for A Cure", a Bc/efa CD where shows record holiday songs for charity. I'm almost positive of this, because on shoshanabeanonline.com there is a little clip of her singing it.


where did you find the whole song?

Ask Marc Shaiman. He wrote it and can tell you all about it. I actually sang Harvey's part at a benefit in Chicago last winter featuring all the music of Mr. Shaiman.

An honor I'll never forget! Thanks Marc!

I'm listening to it right now!

"Here's a little dreidel, it's small and made of clay
But I'm not gonna play with it, 'cause I'm too rich and gay!"

I was playing along with it, hoping it was going to be the same thing as in South Park, but there's just one little difference: they made it cleaner, and they added this whole thing with the goys joining in on the act, and Chester Gregory hamming it up with a new ending: "Christ the SAVIO-O-O-O-O-O-O-OR is booooooo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oooooooooorn!" Nice.

And by the way, Kerry wasn't singing on the song.
