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.
