Title: Copacabana parody- AT THE CHUPPAH (parody by Fred Landau, with a Jewish same-sex wedding twist) View count: 15357 Rating: 4.1 (20 ratings) Description: Parody lyric & vocals: Fred Landau; thanks to Julie Miller for story help *** JEWISH-ENGLISH EXPLANATIONS ARE BELOW, WITH THE PARODY LYRICS; Note re questions about the ocean shots: Thought it would be fun to use an idealized Butte, Montana like in an old musical, so i hope it's not confusing - we did cut palm trees out of two of the chuppah photos, though. :) JEWISH-ENGLISH EXPLANATIONS ARE BELOW, WITH THE PARODY LYRICS; Parody of the musical & song COPACABANA by Barry Manilow, Jack Feldman and Bruce Sussman; I saw the stage musical in Pittsburgh at the CLO last week and got inspired to try to parody how happy a show it is for having such a sad song as its source (an aspect the stage musical handles wonderfully, by the way). Lola does get her Tony in this parody! Contact info for the parody: starfighterllc@aol.com And thanks to ROUTE DESIGN TECHNOLOGY for making what you're seeing in the video happen! PARODY OF THE BARRY MANILOW/BRUCE SUSSMAN/JACK FELDMAN MUSICAL & SONG COPACABANA AT THE CHUPPAH (CHUPPAH/CABANA) Her name was Lola, She was a shul girl [shul = Jewish house of worship] With a nice sheitel in her hair [sheitel = head cover or wig for women] And a dress from who knows where She'd sing some klezmer about the Bible [klezmer = a folk music style] And while she watched him from afar, Tony studied for the bar. Across a crowded shul, She thought he's way way cool He was cute and he loved his mother She was no one's fool At the Chuppah, [canopy at a wedding] By the cabana The hottest spot in Butte, Montana [Butte: pop. 34000, Jewish pop. maybe 100] At the Chuppah by the cabana No nicer setting For their happy wedding At the Chuppah They pledged their love His name was Barry, He was a singer When they raised Lola on her chair, Barry couldn't help but stare And when they dropped her, he ran right over But Barry tried to make a move, Tony didn't like that groove And all the punch they'd drunk Wrought havoc with their junk One big kiss and a lot of passion But well, who'd have thunk At the Chuppah By the cabana With Mom and Dad, Grampa and Nana At the Chuppah by that cabana Tony and Barry Decided to marry At the Chuppah She lost her love Her name is Lola, She was a shul girl But now she's married very well, With some stories she can tell She lives in Frisco, where she met Luba She wrote a play about the tale, The play had a movie sale It played the Broadway boards And won like ten awards She has an Oscar, she has a Tony And two Golden Swords AT THE CHUPPAH IN BUTTE MONTANA The hottest play since OLEANNA At the Chuppah by that cabana She married Luba They signed the ketubah [Jewish marriage contract] At the Chuppah They sealed their love They sealed their love Tags: copa, jewish, wedding, marriage, chupa, chuppah, manilow, chuppa, Author: starfighterllc |
