Radio station plays ‘Sexy’ Jewish pop parody
This Billboard Top 10 spoof is not safe for work
It’s been a big week for the horrible, terrible, downright embarrassing LMFAO dance song “Sexy and I Know It.” After briefly figuring into Madonna’s halftime performance at the Super Bowl, the song retained a spot in the Billboard Top 10 chart released yesterday. So the timing was as good as ever for a New Jersey radio station to feature a Jewish-themed parody of the song called “I’m Jewish and I Know It.”
The knockoff version of the song – accompanied by a video made in Tel Aviv – earned discussion yesterday on New Jersey 101.5’s “Dennis and Judi Show,” which apparently has a history of highlighting Jewish-themed parody songs.
As the radio station’s website notes, a YouTube video for the song is not suitable for viewing at the office, though it’s not any worse than the horrible, terrible, downright embarrassing video for the original.
She died more than four decades ago, but Leah Goldberg remains a magnetic and enigmatic figure: Israel’s most beloved poet, a powerful woman who lived with her mother and never married, who reinvented herself from the ashes of World War I through her magical writing.
