FUNNY JEWISH SONGS
Hilarious cowboy and rock and roll parody songs. Doug Cotler sings "Funny Jewish Songs"! This irreverent and outrageous compilation of funny, clever parodies of favorite pop, rock, and country/western oldies (think Alan Sherman and Weird Al) is full of the oft-requested favorites of fans across the globe, including: "Help Me Rabbi"; "Wastin' Away Again in Manischevitzville"; "Be True to Your Shul"; and "Afikomen 'Round the Mountain". Doug had been hounded for years by the thousands of concert-goers who were lucky enough to hear these songs live to produce a recording. At long last this CD of ludicrous lyrics and ridiculous rhymes is out! The Jewish world is still recovering.
