Good point, but my reactionary reaction was less to the title of the
song/dance and more to the meaning of verses that are sung; it's a question
of Yiddish literacy rather than "tradition". I understand that it's a
moot point these days when performing the dance without the vocals, or in
light of the fact that the Yiddish is little understood. All I'm saying is
that if you wouldn't sing "Happy Anniversary" in English to a Bat Mitzvah
girl, you shouldn't sing incongruous Yiddish lyrics either.
