HASIDIC MAN WEARING TRADITIONAL GARB. HE IS SITTING ON A STOOL, HOLDING AN ELECTRIC GUITAR ON HIS LAP. THE GUITAR STRAP IS BLACK WITH A ROW OF SILVER STARS OF DAVID. NEXT TO HIM IS A TABLE WITH TWO CD'S AND TWO CASSETTES DISPLAYED. THE COVER SHOWS A PICTURE OF A STAR OF DAVID WITH THE "CHOSEN TRAXX" LOGO SUPERIMPOSED ON IT. THE MAN SPEAKS WITH A HEAVY, JEWISH ACCENT.)

BLUES VERSION OF "HAVA NEGILA")

MAN

Blues music. It is the foundation of popular music as we know

it today. It is the music of deep rooted pain, hurt and injustice.

Most people think that it's origin can be traced back to the deep

south to the American Negroes of the early twenties. However it

actually goes back much further than that. Astonishingly enough,

blues music can be traced back to the year 2000 B.C., to the

Hebrews! Sure this must be surprising to most people, but it's true.

Before there was the blues, there was the Heblues. Now

Chay-Tel-Aviv has compiled some of the early recordings on this

amazing new collection entitled. . .

HE TAKES A CD FROM THE TABLE AND HOLDS IT UP.

This has kind of been done a lot on SNL. That being said, it can still be funny. I guess the end part is OK, but the funny will be when you cut to the performer doing the song clips, which you don't seem to have in this. Maybe have the performer do all the dialog........ "Hello, I'm Shlomo Video, and I brought together my greatest hits for you in this one album...........or something like that.

I really like the song titles. The format is ok but a little standard. But the song titles, they rock.

I agree with Vinny - good job on the song titles, except the last four. Maybe add some detail to go with a couple of them? The last bit of dialogue could be taken out, but the grandchildren line is very good.
