Christmas Day Tidbits
Merry Christmas! Peace and Joy and hopefully, good presents for all!
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Holiday Concert. The talent was amazing.
My mother is now at the airport en route to Boca Raton. She will be there until the end of March, “trying out Florida” during the winter months. She will be fine there. She has already been invited to a Florida New Year’s Party, as well as to be part of a weekly mah jongg game in her complex. The six month chapter of me running home to Mom has come to a close. I’m back on my own.
Metalia complained about the lack of Hanukkah songs for women to sing. I think the holiday is too geared for children, in an attempt to compete with Christmas. It is especially difficult to find a sexy Hanukkah song for a rocking woman. So I came up with something for the hot Jewish babe to sing to her man after lighting the Hanukkah candles:
Menorah
(sung to the tune of the Kinks “Lola”)
midi accompaniment here
I met him in a deli down in ol’ Soho
Where we ate corned beef and we read the temple’s To-rah.
T-o-r-a Torah
He was tall and strong with eight candles in hand
I asked him his name and in a New York voice he said Menorah
Me-me-me-menorah Me-me-me-menorah
Well, I’m not the world’s most religious gal
But when I lit his candle, it really made me go, “Wow.”
Me-me-me-menorah Me-me-me-menorah
Well, I’m not dumb but I can’t understand
How he made me as hot as a latkes pan
Me-me-me-menorah Me-me-me-menorah Me-me-me-menorah
Well, we spinned the dreidel and we kissed all night
Under the flickering candlelights
He took me home so not to end our date
And he kept it up for eight nights on straight!
Well I’m not the world’s most religious gal
But when I looked at his lights, well I almost fell for my menorah
Me-me-me-menorah Me-me-me-menorah
(fade out)

That is a good one. Have you had it blessed by a Rabbi yet?

Suddenly, I find myself wishing I was Jewish.
…and a musician.

Fabulous song! It will be stuck in my head for days. (Hopefully I won’t find myself singing it in front of my in-laws. They just wouldn’t understand.)
