Re: Weirdest Yiddish Recordings

Although not specificallyYiddish...I'd vote for CHASSIDISCO.  It came out in the mid 1970s and featured a Chassid on the cover striking a Tony Manero pose..like Sat. Night Fever. Great "covers" of Chassidic music and Niguns.

Also anything by Country Joe and the Gefilte Fish. A Miami based band over 80 year olds who are very good and very funny. My personal fave; My Baby's Like a Matzoh Ball.
