At the front end of the Yomim Nora-im we have Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and at the end, Yom Kippur - the Day of Atonement, holiest of Jewish holidays. And so it is strangely appropriate that the first tune in this week’s Random Ten - spewed directly from the electronic bowels of the iPod d’Elisson - is Kol Nidre, the prayer that ushers in Yom Kippur.
Let’s see what else shows up in our Mix o’ Miscellany today:
- Kol Nidre - Al Jolson
- Why? - The Specials
Why did you try to hurt me?
I got to know
Did you really want to kill me
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Why do we have to fight?
Why must we fight?
I have to defend myself
From attack last night
I know I am black
You know you are white
I’m proud of my black skin
And you are proud of your white, so
Why did you try to hurt me?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Did you really want to kill me
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
We don’t need no British Movement
Nor the Ku Klux Klan
Nor the National Front
It makes me an angry man
I just want to live in peace
Why can't you be the same?
Why should I live in fear?
This fussing and fighting’s insane
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
A Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes
We chase you out the dance hall, we chase you through the door
We chase you out the dance hall, we chase you through the door
Cos we can’t take no more of this at all
Cos we can’t take no more of this at all
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
You’re too scared to make a speech during the light
Without a thousand police protecting your rights
To threaten and abuse, incite or fight
But who will protect me from you in the night?
Why did you try to hurt me?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Did you really want to kill me
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why - Dog Pound Hop (Ren and Stimpy Theme) - Jim Smith
- Sweet Georgia Brown - Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli
- Come With Me - Monty Python’s Spamalot
- Good Thing - Paul Revere and the Raiders

Don’t go to church on Sunday
Don’t get on my knees to pray
Don’t memorize the books of the Bible
I got my own special way
But I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more
I fall on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee’s candy store
Well it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied
Well I don’t want no Abba Zaba
Don’t want no Almond Joy
There ain’t nothing better
Suitable for this boy
Well it’s the only thing
That can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul
(Solo)
When the weather gets rough
And it’s whiskey in the shade
It’s best to wrap your savior
Up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy
But that’s OK
Pour him over ice cream
For a nice parfait
Well it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Well it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied - The Lady Is A Tramp - Skanatra
- For Good - Wicked, Original Broadway Cast
- In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
