yiddish "16 tons"??

[Yakov Chodosh <ync8...>]

does anyone know anything about the origins of the yiddish version of "16 
tons"? it's really funny even though i don't know yiddish... i found it on the 
internet... it almost sounds better than the original, with the clarinet ... 
the listed artist is "hello dave". the track is staged as a talent show hosted 
by "tom ganeyden." the band has a tuba, clarinet, piano, and background 
singers... anyone know about this recording?
