GUEST,jack sprocket Origins: Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen (46) RE: Origins: Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen 24 Nov 22

I see i replied to this 9 years ago. But i'll add that my mother's friends' take on the lyrics back in the day was horrific, given the events of the time. They sang "you're mean, mr sheen", the racist trope about jews.

And i described it as "russian jewish" back then. Odesa is of course in ukraine.
