Posted on March 1, 2015 at 12:36 pm

Happy Purim! May this be a year when all the Hamens of the world are vanquished.

This tale, was once told
In the days of Achashverosh
This one needs a new girl
Needs a good girl
A straight masterpiece!
So file in
Try to win
Be the queen of my cities
Well hold on, this girl’s the one!
That’s Esther, oh she’s so pretty!

I’m so hot! (oh man!)
Now I’m in charge and I got a plan
I’m so hot! (oh man!)
Betta bow down, or I’m gonna be mad
I’m so hot! (oh man!)
Say my name, you know who I am
I’m so hot! (oh man!)
Man, this schtuss ain’t funny
Break it down!

I’ll never bow to ya (oooo!)
I’ll never bow to ya (oooo!)
I’ll never bow to ya (oooo!)
Well, Shushan Funk gon’ give it to ya!
Well, Shushan Funk gon’ give it to ya!
Well, Shushan Funk gon’ give it to ya!
Here’s the news, he gonna kill the Jews
Don’t believe me, just watch! (HAMAN!)
Don’t believe me, just watch! x4
Hey, Hey Hey, Oh!

Stop!
Wait a minute!
Those two guys put some poison in it!
Don’t take a sip
I gotcha back
Yo, Haman! Get the stretch!
Ride through uptown, downtown, make Mordechai so pretty
Tell everyone, in the whole kingdom
He my favorite in dude in this city!

I’m so hot! (so mad!)
I feel like I’m on fire, man
I’m so hot! (so mad!)
Makes me mamish wanna retire man
I’m so hot! (so mad!)
They used to say my name and know who I am!
I’m so hot! (so mad!)
“This is just the start, honey”
Break it down!

King, you know that I’m a Jew yeah (ooo!)
But Haman wants to kill the Jews yeah (ooo!)
Yeah, I know, and I’m a Jew yeah! (ooo!)
Now Shushan Funk gon’ give it to ya!

Smile of the Week: Uptown Funk from Alex Boye and the Dancing Grannies

Posted on February 27, 2015 at 9:16 am

“Uptown Funk,” from Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, is covered in a sensational new video from longtime Mormon Tabernacle Choir member Alex Boyé and back-up performers ranging in age from 65-92.  According to the Choir’s website,

Between all of his video co-stars, they have raised 500 children, 1,200 grandchildren and 250 great-grandchildren. We’re not going to give the whole thing away but the video just might feature a 92-years-young woman doing a split.
