Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Yiddish songs
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Yiddish songs
As to Lebidoff----find his Romania, Romania. What a classic, and the best version yet. Leo Fuld has an album of "greatest hits"---not that great except for Yidishe Mama (A staple in the Borscht Belt until the 60s---guaranteed to bring a tear to the left eyeball), Dona Dona---and a similar title but different song--Doyna Doyna.

And for some great comedy material never forget Joel Gray's dad---Mickey Katz. Oy vier gehen essen---essen gehen vier---remember that oldie?
