Re: hip-hop kandelikas

[Ari Davidow <ari...>]

Given that the band credits Jagoda, and has generally been on the up and up, 
I'm not sure they would be my _first_ candidates for "need to be reminded to 
pay royalties" (especially not given some of the horror stories I've heard from 
other songwriters and composers), nor were those my own first thought on 
hearing the video, but I'll certainly pass the word on.

I was more taken by how much more entertaining I found this particular video 
than the usual shtick that passes itself off as Jewish hip hop (not that this 
would have any necessary connection to the concern about royalties, nor even to 
say that the bagel-bra isn't connected to the same old shtick), and was hoping 
that other folks might have found it similarly entertaining.
