Great Parodies of Famous Songs.......2005-08-26

If you have enjoyed the song parodies by others such as Homer and Jethro, Spike Jones, and Allan Sherman, and appreciate ethnic in-group humor, you'll certainly find the parodies by Mickey Katz a real delight. It's great that these songs from the days of vinyl have been reissued.

Non replaceable Mickey Katz.......2004-12-19

From my childhood on, I have reveled in the music of Mickey Katz. Originally issued as yiddish comedy records, the records, originally on 78's went into oblivion with the number of yiddish speakers. A few survived, and the best of them are on this release. Even if you have to listen with a yiddish english phrase book, or dictionary, it is worth the effort not to let this wonderful humor disappear.

Great for Purim -- or anytime you need a good laugh!.......2003-03-14

Those post-Holocaust pessimists who foretold the demise of the Yiddish culture never reckoned with the invention of the music CD. Here is yet another collection of vintage Borscht Belt, recovered from long forgotten LPs and re-released for a whole new generation of Jews to discover and enjoy. Even if you don't understand Yiddish, (Yinglish, actually, since Mickey Katz sings in a mixture of Yiddish and English), you will find these klezmerized parodies absolutely hilarious. Numbers like "Yiddish Mule Train" and "Sixteen Tons (of hard salami)" need no translation to be funny. And who knows? You might find out that you know more Yiddish than you think you do!

It's WONDERFUL to hear these songs again!.......2002-08-24

My folks were huge fans of Mickey Katz. When I put the CD on I almost immediately could do the words of all the songs - and I haven't heard them for 35 years. This is the ultimate MK collection and I'm thrilled to be able to hear them again and share them with my own kids!

Ah, what wonderful memories of my childhood.......2002-06-13

I used to love sitting with my father while he played these Mickey Katz records. I didn't always understand the words, and still don't (being deficient in Yiddish) but these songs hold some of the most precious memories of my chldhood. And they still hold up. Now, if the collection had included "Shrimp Boats are Coming (mit Bagels and Lox)", I would have given it 6 stars. More! Please!
