Ani Yehudi (video)
Lenny Solomon's smash hit "Ani Yehudi" has been remade and rewritten into Hebrew by Kobi Oz. The result is great! And I can't get over the name "Fishy HaGadol", "The Big Fish" (one of the singers who participated in the making of this "We Are the World-esque" video)
Lenny Solomon's original version of the song was actually in Hebrew as well. You can watch it here. I think that the Kobi Oz version is better musically, but I prefer the lyrics as they are sung in the original version.
Wow, I LOVE this!!
ReplyDeleteCan you explain to me how to embed it in my own blog?
Meanwhile, I'm going to link to your post!!

ReplyDeletesarke of Jewlicious has a nice background piece on the song.
For those who would like an English translation of the lyrics (from the Kobi Oz version), there is one here.
