Jewish Monk?

[Robert Wiener <wiener...>]

Maybe it's my imagination, but does anyone else hear a "Jewish" strain in  
"It's a Jungle Out There," the Season 2 Main Title Theme from Monk* by Randy 
Newman?  Especially in the line

If you paid attention, you'd be worried too

Think Torah trope by way of Fiddler on the Roof -- "If I Were a Rich Man"?

P.S. I could be more specific, but I'm curious as to whether any connection is 
apparent to others.
