Top 5 Meshuggene Video Versions of "My Yiddishe Mommae"

Mother's Day is this weekend, people! Today we at I Heart Jews celebrate our fabulous, sassy, loving, hilarious, Jewish Mothers!

Inspired by yesterday's condom commercial featuring the classic song "My Yiddishe Mommae" we went hunting for other odd video interpretations of the song. We found some doozies. Here are our top 5 meshuggene video versions of "My Yiddishe Mommae"

5. DAVID FEINGOLD
What exactly is going on here? Is it an Andy Kauffman-style straight faced comedy bit? A serious moment from the comedian who calls himself "Fat Jewish Guy"? Why is there a random tushy? This is totally bizarre.

(The tushy is at at 1:04, hornballs)


4. FINNISH
There are approximately 1,000 Jews in the entire country of Finland. Why shouldn't they have their own version of the classic? Awesome.


3. BARBERSHOP QUARTET
It is weird to see a barbershop quartet sing something so melancholy. We keep thinking they are going to break into some sort of upbeat version, but alas, it just keeps on being nostalgic. If only Andy Bernard from The Office would join in.


2. HARRIETT SINGS
This one really sneaks up on you. Why wouldn't you suddenly (1:24), without warning cut to "My Yiddishe Mommae" in the middle of an Etta James freedom bus tribute? Seriously. Why not?


1. TOM JONES and JOHN FARNHAM
Two Gentiles rockin' it out! Australian pop icon John Farnham and Welsh sex bomb Tom Jones have an intense "My Yiddishe Mommae" duel, and though they both put up a good fight, Tom Jones is the clear winner.


Stay tuned for more mom comedy (momedy)! We're meshuggene for Mother's Day!
