  Hi Batya,

  There was a discussion about this a number of years ago on the list.  Perhaps 
you could search the archives?  I think it was spelled differently in the 
subject heading.

  Meanwhile, it was written by Moyshe Nadir (pseudonym) in 1920-something.  
Possible relationship to Old King Cole.  There was a real Elimeylekh.

  Klezmatics do a wonderful rendering of "Makht oyf!", a happy, drinking 
sounding song for purim.  Is it recorded?  There are many wonderful purim 
songs.  I have two by Gelbart on my latest album, "Urim-burim" and "A gut 
yontef, yidn".  Text for both by J. Kaminsky.  Then there's the cute "Hop, 
mayne homentashen" by Pirozhnikov.  Anyone know whether the music is by him, 
also?  I could go on for days.

    Hi folks!

    Can anybody tell me about Der Rebe Elimelech? Any connection with Old King 
Cole? Was there a real Elimelech? Etc.?

    Can you recommend any other happy or drinking songs for Purim?

    Thanks a lot,
    Happy Purim,
