ATF: Weird Al-ed 2

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Pretty Fly for a White Guy

The Offspring

Give it to me baby

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Give it to me baby

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Give it to me baby

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

And all the girlies say

I'm pretty fly for a white guy

Uno dos tres

Quarto cinco cinco seis

You know it's kind of hard

Just to get along today

Our subject isn't cool

But he fakes it anyway

He may not have a clue

And he may not have style

But everything he lacks

Well he makes up in denial

So don't debate

A player straight

You know

He really doesn't get it anyway

He's gonna play the field

And keep it real

For you no way

For you no way

So if you don't rate

Just overcompensate

At least you'll know

You can always go on Ricki Lake

The world needs wannabe's

So

Hey hey

Do that brand new thing

Give it to me baby

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Give it to me baby

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Give it to me baby

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

And all the girlies say

I'm pretty fly

For a white guy

He needs some cool tunes

Not just any will suffice

But they didn't have Ice Cube

So he bought Vanilla Ice

Now cruising in his pinto

He sees homies as he pass

But if he looks twice

They're gonna kick his lily ass

So don't debate

A player straight

You know

He really doesn't get it anyway

He's gonna play the field

And keep it real

For you no way

For you no way

So if you don't rate

Just overcompensate

At least you'll know

You can always go on Ricki Lake

The world loves wannabe's

So

Hey hey

Do that brand new thing

Now he's getting a tattoo

Yeah

He's gettin' ink done

He asked for a 13

But they drew a 31

Friends say he's trying too hard

And he's not quite hip

But in his own mind

He's the

He's the dopest trip

Give it to me baby

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Give it to me baby

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Give it to me baby

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Uno dos tres

Quatro cinco cinco seis

So don't debate

A player straight

You know

He really doesn't get it anyway

He's gonna play the field

And keep it real

For you no way

For you no way

So if you don't rate

Just overcompensate

At least you'll know

You can always go on Ricki Lake

The world needs wannabe's

So

The world loves wannabe's

So

So let's get some more wannabe's

And

Hey hey

Do that brand new thing

And all the goyim say

I'm pretty fly for a rabbi

Meccha leccha hi

meccha hiney hiney ho

Our temple's had a fair share

Of rabbis in the past

But most of 'em were nudniks

And none of 'em would last

But our new guy's real kosher

I think he'll do the trick

I tell ya he's to die for

He really knows his shtick

So how's by you

Have you seen this Jew

Reads the Torah

does his own accounting too

Workin' like a dog

At the synagogue

He's there all day

he's there all day

Just say

Vay iz mir

and he'll kick into gear

He'll bring you lots of cheer

And maybe bagels with some shmear

Just grab your yamulkah

And hey

Hey

Do that Hebrew thing

How ya doin' Bernie

Oy vey

Oy vey

How ya doin' Bernie

Oy vey

Oy vey

How ya doin' Bernie

Oy vey

And all the goyim say

I'm pretty fly

For a rabbi

He shops at discount stores

Not just any will sufice

He has to find a bargain

‘Cause he won't pay retail price

He never acts meshugga

And he's hardly a schlemiel

But if you wanna haggle

Oh he'll make you such a deal

People used to scoff

Now they say mazel tov

He's such a macher

‘Cause he worked his tuchis off

Yeah he keeps his cool

And teaches shul

What's not to like

What's not to like

On high holy days

You know he prays and prays

And he never eats pastrami on white bread

With mayonnaise

Put on your yamulkah

And hey

Hey

Do that Hebrew thing

When he's doing a Bar Mitzvah

Now that you shouldn't miss

He'll always shlep on down

For a wedding or a briss

They say he's got a lot of chutzpah

He's really quite chip

The parents pay the moyal

And he gets to keep the tip

How ya doin' Bernie

Oy vey

Oy vey

How ya doin' Bernie

Oy vey

Oy vey

How ya doin' Bernie

Oy vey

Oy vey

Meccha leccha hi

Meccha meccha cholly ho

He's doin' well

I gotta kvell

The yentas love him

Even shicksas think he's swell

Show up at his home

He says shalom

And have some cake

You want some cake

Yah he calls the shots

We really love him lots

Oy gevalt

I'm so ferklempt that I could plotz

So grab your yamulkah

The one you got for Chanukah

Let's put on our yamulkah

And hey

Hey

Do that Hebrew thing
