In the spirit of the old line about what many Jewish holidays have in common, "They tried to destroy us, they didn't destroy us, let's eat!" -
"Put Your Pain In the Hands of a Jew (or a Few)" - with Hannukah images
Music by Skip Kennon, lyric by Fred Landau - sung here by Neal Mayer
(The expression "oy and vey" is thanks to Bruce Kimmel)
We wrote this song about the soothing aspects of Jewish humor in the face of thousand of years of tsouris, and it turned out not to be right for project we auditioned for. (When we wrote the song, the show's script that we got had been about humor as essentially Jewish novocaine, and that changed a great deal by the time that show opened.)
But the song survives on YouTube! :) And we get nice reaction to the audition song. even separate from the show for which it had been written, and I wanted to share it here, on this video with Hannukah images.
