Israeli Political Filk???
Jan. 23rd, 2003 04:40 pmHere's a weird one...
Israel's Shas Party, which represents rigorously devout Sephardic Jews in that nation's political scheme of things, apparently tokk the tune of "La Vida Loca" and wrote its own words of it as part of advertising prior to next week's elections. The words are apparently in Hebrew and promote the Shas way of life. The ad has since been pulled from the air as there was a question of copyrights.
But now I'm really curious. I wonder what they did. I'd love to find the lyrics, and see if they scan. Or make any sense once translated. So if anyone has any ideas where to find this information, please let me know.
In the meantime, here's link to an AP article on this:
