I like the satirical take-off on this song called "Dem Gonifs Yichis" (or as
the YIVO folks say, "YiKHis.") Your mother greases wagon wheels, your aunt
is a bath house attendant, your brother sits in prison and your sister ran
off with a cossack, etc.
The only recording I've heard is by the Klezmorim from Streets of Gold, I
think (or was it East Side Wedding?). OK, so here's the questions: Has
anyone recorded it before then or since? Does anybody care?
