    Can’t listen to this at work, but I have this song from a collection called “That’s What I Like About Jew.”

    My wife’s Jewish and we do Passover with some very traditional friends of hers. The grown kids love to tell horror stories of their father starving them through the entire Seder while he made them read every single word of the ceremony in Hebrew. Of course, now he’s a grandpa and now it’s all “We’ll skip this part, the grandkids are hungry.”

    The Yule Brynner line really got me; he’ll always be the image that enters my head when I think “pharoah”.

    Hey, that’s Sean Altman. One of the guys who wrote and sang the classic “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?” theme song. He left Rockapella ages ago, though…

    I’m not Jewish — but I play on one TV — no wait that isn’t it. Let me start over ..

    I’m not Jewish, but I have been to quite a few Seders — and I can tell you … I get it. One Seder I was at started at 6:00pm at 1:00 in the morning we were still at it. Oy

    Shalom Bill

    A. They tried to kill us, we survived, let’s eat.

    Q. What is the meaning behind almost every Jewish holiday?

    Ah, I see what happened: Not realizing you were referring to your post’s title, I had assumed the mysterious pronoun in “apparently it’s a song now” was referring to the lyrical content; when the singer introduced the song by saying it was taken from wikipedia, I started to think maybe the ‘it’ you mentioned was some notorious vandalized revision of the Passover article, which the artist had then set to music.

    Very funny song, btw. Loved the 10 plagues.

    Whoa, Sean Altman with instrumental accompaniment? Weird!
