Ich Vil Zain A Rebbe!

The song is funny, a bit provocative though.

But the video is definitely not right. The concept of the song may exist but who are we to say with whom? Whether you'd like it or not these Rebbes in the photos are Jewish leaders and deserve our respect, never mind to be Chutzpadik! Where does this hostility come from?

Here is an MP3 of the song. (HT: Chaptzem)

I think this vidio should be taken down. It might be a form of loshon hara. It definitly should not be displayed for the public.

The song it parodies is about what people may think it's like to be a "rock star" - therefore the song is about what people may think it's like to be a rebbe.
To have made a video of somebody (maybe kids!) pretending to be a rebbe would have been funny - to put the song over pictures of actual rebbes is a deliberate (and in my opinion extreme) insult to, or even accusation against, those rebbes. TRUTH!
