[HANASHIR:13656] Re: purim parodies

[Rabbi Richard Schachet <lvrabbi...>]

We'll do anything you want--  We'll plan it out when you get here.. Just have a 
list of songs-- I'll fit it in to the megillah reading.

Will you need Don to accompany you for the service?  If so, send me the music 
so I can go over it with him.  He can't work like I do and likes to know in 
advance.

I have another accompanyist for the concert.  Send me that music also.

  I don't usually do parodies, but here's my "Bye bye love" for Vashti followed 
by "I Feel Lucky" for Esther (song by Mary Chapin Carpenter):

  Bye Bye Love


  Bye bye love
  Bye bye Ahashverosh
  Hello acting gauche
  I think I really goofed

  Bye bye love
  Bye bye Shushan-ville
  Hello time to kill
  That's why I wrote this spoof!

  I'm through with following that king around
  I'm tired of wearing that heavy crown
  And here' the reason that I'm so free
  My loving Ahashverosh has banished me

  Bye bye love…

  I'm through with being a beauty queen
  I'm through obeying a king that's mean
  And here's the reason I get this chance
  I just refused to join in the dance!


  I Feel Lucky

  Woke up this morning and I got out of bed
  Today's the day the king will find a woman to wed
  I put on my makeup, fixed up my hair
  Tried to find the perfect kind of outfit to wear
  My friends all say, girl, you don't stand a chance
  Don't you know Ahashverosh likes all his women to dance!

  But I feel lucky, whoa, whoa, whoa, I feel lucky, yeah
  Gonna be the queen, I don't care what they say,
  Oooh, I feel lucky today!

  I feel lucky....I feel lucky, yeah
  Jews around the world gonna celebrate
  Oooh, I feel lucky today!
