"Hatikvah" - instrumental (synth-bagpipes, synth-piano, synth-strings) cover, by Yours Truly
Me, via YouTube (as Hopalong Ginsberg) ^ | 8/2/15 | Me, as "Hopalong Ginsberg"

Posted on 08/02/2015 3:25:41 PM PDT by Slings and Arrows

I needed a break from writing snarky lyrics. And yes, I have too much free time.

I record and compose my music under the pen name Hopalong Ginsberg, but I'm thinking of changing it to Cecil The Lion.

To download a free MP3 of my cover of "Hatikvah," click here or here.

I love the Jewish people, and I love cats. However, putting them together....

I really like that tune.

I must have half a dozen different versions of it.

Why not? The Jews and the cats are good with it.

It really is time that he started studying, isn’t it?

WRT Nyan Katz (LOL!), did a Google image search on “Israel” and “cats” and got lucky.

Yes, he needs to study but he’s a smart kitty and he can learn his Torah portion in a day.

Cats get very small Torah portions to memorize. Like a sentence.

Will Noshville Katz deli do the catering? I would also recommend Lundy’s seafood or Wolfies if it was a perfect world.

Don’t know why, but this song always makes me tear up. I really, really like your version, Slings.

Thank you very much! (IMO, the song really expresses the sense of loss resulting from the Diaspora, and the longing to return home.)
