I haven't listened to funny Jewish music since that Star of David shaped blue-vinyl single of Gefilte Joe and the Fish's "Take a Walk on the Kosher Side" I had as a kid. In fact, I haven't listened to much Jewish music at all since then.
Last night after ripping the CD and uploading it to the internet (HaHa! Joke.) I listened to What I Like About Jew's album, Unorthodox. What I Like About Jew is a duo of two guys named Sean Altman (former Rockapella front man) and Rob Tannenbaum (comedy writer who's worked with John Leguizamo).
I wasn't expecting much, but I can say I was very pleasantly surprised. The songs are professionally done, catchy and definitely funny in an intelligent (but warning: adults only) way.
Their web site, where you can listen to samples and purchase the CD if you like, is here: What I Like About Jew.
