The great American automaker, Ford, is invading their competitor's markets by introducing the new Figo into the Indian market. The compact Figo is an all new car that features a fresh, contemporary shape that offers a distinct alternative to the traditional offerings in the city car segment with a shape that exudes the spirit of energy in motion with its bold fender flares and swept back headlamps.
Like all of the blue oval's new car, the Ford Figo was designed with their consumers in mind. The all new body features lots of fresh fun elements like a large mouth front bumper, sporty alloy wheels pushed to car's four corners, squared off rear end and subtle rear spoiler. Despite its compact size, the Ford Figo has a spacious interior with plenty of room for both passengers and cargo thanks to its taller roofline and more upright stance. Ford feels that this is the perfect car to combat the ultra affordable Tata Nano that is produced in the developing nation. The Figo's size makes it the perfect car to navigate the narrow stretches of the Indian bazaars and markets without scarifying an ounce of style.
With Ford planning on bringing the equally compact Fiesta to the U.S. in the near future, the question that remains is whether or not Americans will have a soft spot in their hearts for a more spacious city car offering.
Press release after the jump.
Press release
India's role as an important player in the future of Ford Motor Company's international strategy was underscored today when the company's President and CEO, Alan Mulally, unveiled an all-new car targeting the heart of the Indian car market – the new Ford Figo.
The Ford Figo, a new nameplate and a fresh face on the Indian market, signals Ford's intention to compete in India's largest and most important small car market segment.
Ford Figo is the result of a significant Ford investment commitment to expand its plant near Chennai for volume production as a small-car centre of excellence regionally. Ford's $500 million investment has doubled the plant's production capacity to 200,000 units per year and introduces major advances in high-quality automation and innovative, eco-friendly production techniques.
"Our exciting new Ford Figo shows how serious we are about India," Mulally said. "It reflects our commitment to compete with great products in all segments of this car market. We are confident the Ford Figo will be a product that Indian consumers really want and value."
Ford Figo is designed and engineered to compete in India's small car segment, which accounts for more than 70 percent of the new vehicle market. It leverages Ford's small-car platform architecture, sharing underlying technology with the Ford Fiesta, already familiar to Indian drivers.
New Shape, Solid Foundation
Today's press conference in Delhi was the first public preview of the exterior design of the new Ford Figo. Ford is reserving further details about the vehicle until closer to its production launch early in 2010.
Design-conscious Italy inspired the new Ford Figo's name. Figo is colloquial Italian for "cool."
Sharing key elements of Ford's kinetic design language with vehicles like the globally renowned Ford Focus , Ford Mondeo and the Ford Fiesta , Ford Figo features a fresh, contemporary shape that will be a distinctive alternative to traditional brands in this segment. The design language conveys a dynamic spirit of energy in motion.
Quality, substance and generous proportions are clearly evident in the design of the new Ford Figo, which features a solid stance, an invitingly large interior and a vibrant, youthful character. Its package is right-sized for the market, which is predominated by congested urban driving conditions.
From its modern headlamps, grille shapes and sculpted bonnet of its distinctive face to the subtle integrated spoiler and chamfered window shape at the rear, Ford Figo is filled with kinetic design touches. These also include sculpted shapes to the body side – chiseled front fenders, a "comet tail" undercut in the doors and additional light-catching sculpting in the lower bodyside – which combine to communicate the solidity, substance and protective safety of its design.
The bold graphic of Ford Figo's large side window shape is another key kinetic design feature hinting at the comfort and spaciousness awaiting occupants' front and rear. The side window graphic is executed with a blacked-out B-pillar, an elegant design touch that unifies the side windows into one shape visually.
With its wheels positioned at the four corners of the vehicle with minimal overhang, Ford Figo's bold wheel arches self-assuredly signal its agility and solidity.
"We're confident that the new Ford Figo will be extremely attractive to Indian car buyers," said Michael Boneham, president and managing director, Ford India. "It's going to be very competitive with the current market leaders and offer a tremendous value story for our consumers. We believe Ford Figo is a big game-changer for Ford that will help transform our brand into a volume player in India."
New Ford Regional Production Centre
The introduction of the new Ford Figo marks a significant shift for India's role in Ford's strategy. Transformed with a production capacity of 200,000 units, the integrated Chennai manufacturing facility is now positioned as a Ford regional centre of excellence for small-car engineering and production.
Ford Figo models will be produced at the plant for export to international markets. The plant is also being groomed to produce diesel and petrol engines for local vehicle production and export within Ford's Asia Pacific and Africa region.
With more automation and high-tech new facilities, the new site reflects the latest Ford manufacturing processes globally and pioneers new technologies for Ford and India. Created with a "best of the best" approach, it has been benchmarked against other competitive facilities globally, as well as the current volume manufacturers in the Indian market, for quality and production efficiency.
The transformed plant introduces eco-friendly production techniques like its new Three-Wet High-Solids paint process. This approach produces beautifully painted vehicles with three wet coats – primer, base coat and clear coat – of high solids-content paint applied one after the other without oven curing between coats. A first for India, it produces fewer carbon dioxide emissions and reduces volatile organic compounds emissions by about 20 percent compared to current medium-solids solvent-borne paints. Use of high-solids content results in a paint finish with high levels of gloss and depth of colour which is more resistant to scratches and stone chips.

USNH tuition freeze? That is not enough
In the last budget, both the community college system and the University System of New Hampshire took steep cuts. The cuts at USNH totaled about $100 million, or nearly half the system's state subsidy, over two years. The university system has undertaken a lobbying and public relations push to have that money restored. Hassan says that won't happen without a tuition freeze.
That is not much of a demand. The university system had already offered to freeze tuition for the next two years in exchange for the budget restoration. That offer has been on the table for six months. Hassan's announcement on Monday that this will be the price of renewed funding is simply an acceptance of the system's proposal.
Unfortunately for students, this offers no solution to the very serious problem of ever-increasing tuition and fees. A two-year tuition freeze simply holds the already high tuition rate steady for half the time it takes to get a four-year degree. After that, universities are free to raise rates again.
Instead of insisting on a short-term tuition freeze, Hassan should demand serious structural reforms that will actually lower the cost of providing an education at USNH institutions. Only through substantial reductions in operational costs can the system make college truly more affordable in the long term.
Offering the system a sliding scale: say, $25 million for an X percent cut in operating expenses, $50 million for double that, etc., would be one way to go about it.
By simply agreeing to a short-term tuition freeze, Hassan would gain future students no advantages at all while obligating them (as taxpayers) to finance double the state subsidy the system now receives. A roughly 50 percent increase in state funding is a huge incentive. Hassan misses a tremendous opportunity if she fails to use it to the students' fullest advantage.

text: Students join in record-setting march R.I. students travel to New York for People's Climate March, pushing climate change solutions When Dawn King, visiting assistant professor of environmental studies, asked her class how many students were planning to attend this weekend's People's Climate March in New York, the response "inspired" her, she said. Sixty percent of her class was planning to attend — an unprecedented level of student involvement in an environmental protest in her experience, she added. The march was the largest in history. More than 400,000 marched in New York while nearly 3,000 simultaneous marches took place globally. (Distributed September 26, 2014)

4 Under-$10 Stocks Making Large Upside Moves
WINDERMERE, Fla. ( Stockpickr) -- At Stockpickr, we track daily portfolios of stocks that are the biggest percentage gainers and the biggest percentage losers.
>>5 Toxic Stocks to Dump Before 2013
Stocks that are making large moves like these are favorites among short-term traders because they can jump into these names and try to capture some of that massive volatility. Stocks that are making big-percentage moves either up or down are usually in play because their sector is becoming attractive or they have a major fundamental catalyst such as a recent earnings release. Sometimes stocks making big moves have been hit with an analyst upgrade or an analyst downgrade.
Regardless of the reason behind it, when a stock makes a large-percentage move, it is often just the start of a new major trend -- a trend that can lead to huge profits. If you time your trade correctly, combining technical indicators with fundamental trends, discipline and sound money management, you will be well on your way to investment success.>>5 Dividend Stocks Itching to Pay You More With that in mind, let's take a closer look at a several stocks under $10 that are making large moves to the upside today. Audience (ANDC) This is a provider of intelligent voice and audio solutions that improve voice quality and the user experience in mobile devices. This stock is trading up 6.2% to $8.68 in recent trading. Today's Range: $8.13-$8.83 52-Week Range: $5.51-$23.41 Volume: 265,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 442,232 From a technical perspective, ADNC is trending higher here with light volume. This move has started to push the stock into breakout territory, since shares are moving above some near-term overhead resistance at $8.54. This move is also pushing ADNC into large gap down zone from September that started around $19. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in ADNC as long as it's trending above $7.71, and then once it sustains a move or close above $8.54 with volume that hits near or above 442,232 shares. If ADNC can maintain a high-volume trend into that previous gap down zone, then this stock could be setting up for an explosive move higher. Some possible upside targets are $10 to $13 in the near future.

The military leader of a rebel group seeking independence for India's isolated north-eastern state of Assam earns millions of dollars each year from investments in Bangladesh, a Bangladeshi intelligence report seen by a local news agency revealed.
The news could test warming relations between the south Asian neighbours who for years clashed over the issue of rebels finding shelter in Bangladesh.
Paresh Barua heads a hardline faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and is now believed to operate from camps in Myanmar, which borders Assam. The news of his investments sheds light on how he keeps his unit running. The U.S. State Department in 2006 estimated ULFA had several hundred fighters.
The report published by the Press Trust of India agency said Barua earns $1.5 million every quarter as remittance from businesses including real estate, shipping, textile and power, and another $500,000 through foreign exchange.
Barua invested $14 million in three Dhaka-based real estate firms in the name of a London-based businessman, the reports said. It was not clear where the money came from.

Can Chewing Tobacco Cause High Breath Results?Monday, March 26th, 2007
Man Blames Chewing Tobacco for DUI Charge
Naticoke, Penn. March 6 "Could chewing tobacco make a man legally drunk?"
John Daniel Drury Sr. thinks so.
Drury, who faces a drunken driving charge, told Nanticoke police that the brand of chewing tobacco he uses, Red Man Select, contains Tennessee Whiskey.
Police said Drury, 42, of Pine Street in the Hanover Section of Nanticoke, failed a series of field sobriety tests. A breath test Drury took showed an alcohol level of 0.144 percent, police said.
Mr. Drury is right. But how can a tiny amount of Tennessee Whiskey in a wad of chewing tobacco cause a 0.144% reading, you ask?
Mouth alcohol.
These breath machines aren't terribly bright. To obtain the percentage of alcohol in the blood, they are basically programmed to multiply the amount by 2100 times (called the partition ratio) to get the equivalent amount in the blood. This is because the alcohol in the lung air (called alveolar air) has been greatly attenuated in the process of being transferred from the blood into the lungs. In other words, the machine is programmed to assume that the sample is alveolar air. If the alcohol has not passed through the body and into the lungs, however, but is still in the mouth, the machine is multiplying alcohol 2100 times when it should not be multiplying it at all. And it doesn't take much alcohol to get a high reading if it's being multiplied 2100 times.
For a further discussion, see my earlier posts, "The Mouth Alcohol Problem" and "What About Mouth Alcohol Detectors?".

Problem connecting to a Couchbase cluster
I have a cluster of 2 enterprise edition nodes running on Win2008 R2. They are fixed IP and their consoles are accessible through the browser. The necessary ports are also open. The cluster is in use for a few weeks.
So it is confusing to me why I am having problems connecting to the cluster from time to time.
I'm using the .net client (version 1.2.3 from nuget) and the client is running on an XP SP3 box
My config is as follows
And my entire application is as follows
static void Main(string[] args)
var cb = new CouchbaseClient("couchbase");
var result = cb.ExecuteStore(StoreMode.Set, "key", "value");
After the CouchbaseClient is instantiated. The following is written to a log file:
2013-03-29 16:27:14.2838|ERROR|Couchbase.BucketConfigListener|Error resolving streaming uri: http://10.105.174.14:8091/pools
2013-03-29 16:27:14.2994|WARN|Couchbase.MessageStreamListener|Could not resolve url http://10.105.174.14:8091/pools; trying the next in the list
2013-03-29 16:27:14.5181|WARN|Couchbase.MessageStreamListener|Could not found a working node.
2013-03-29 16:27:14.5338|WARN|Couchbase.MessageStreamListener|All nodes are dead, sleeping for a while.

2013-03-29 16:27:14.5338|DEBUG|Couchbase.MessageStreamListener|Processing message:
And then the ExecuteStore method runs, it reports to me that it is 'unable to Locate Node'
So, I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on this for me?
And I intermittently get this in the log file as well from other cluster users:
2013-03-28 18:37:02.8598|ERROR|Couchbase.MessageStreamListener|HB: Node 'http://10.105.174.13:8091/pools' is not available.

Any help would be appreciated

The Mitsubishi Mighty Max was sold in the United States between 1986 and 1996, being one of the first models brought from Japan.
The vehicle had a pretty strong build quality and was especially appreciated for its reliability and the simple mechanics.
The Mitsubishi Mighty Max was available with either two wheel drive or four wheel drive configuration and was fitted with a 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine which develops a maximum output of 116 hp.
The truck was discontinued in 1996, when it was replaced by the new Mitsubishi Raider that was based on the Chevrolet Dakota.

Songs of Songs
What are the 100 greatest Jewish songs ever? Tablet Magazine's musicologists rank them all, from sacred to pop to hip-hop, from Rabbi Akiva to Amy Winehouse.
21. "Ol' Man River" (1927)
There had never been a showtune like the centerpiece ballad of Show Boat—a meditation on race, class, the suffering of humanity, and the indifference of nature. Jerome Kern's melody is indelible. Oscar Hammerstein's lyric is philosophical. And the river in question—the mighty Mississippi—is eternal: It just keeps rolling along. (JR)
22. "If I Were a Rich Man" (1964)
Shtetl nostalgia on Broadway. Daidle deedle daidle daidle daidle deedle daidle dum. (JR)
23. "Oseh Shalom" (1974)
This snippet of the much longer paragraph that traditionally concludes the Amidah—the standing prayer—stands alone as a blessing for peace. Ironically enough, the song's most popular melody did not come from any of the great composers of Jewish liturgical music but from Nurit Hirsh, an Israeli pop singer—who also wrote "aba-ni-bi," the most famous song ever written in Hebrew pig Latin. (AYK)
24. "Der Heyser Bulgar" (1923)
"Hava Nagila" before there was "Hava Nagila." The original Jewish party-starter. (AYK)
25. "Hallelujah" (1981)
David and Bathesheba. Samson and Delilah. Bathing on the rooftop and bondage in the kitchen. Leonard Cohen's 1981 ballad blends the biblical and erotic to create a Jewish gospel testimonial—a praise song to "the Lord of song" and, as Jeff Buckley once put it, "a hallelujah to the orgasm." (JR)
26. "On Broadway" (1963)
This 1963 tour de force found four illustrious Brill Building songwriters—Barry Mann, Cynthia Weill, Jerry Leiber, and Mike Stoller—meditating on three durable Jewish-American themes: immigrant hopes and hardships, the lure of showbiz, and the promise of that Jerusalem on the Hudson, where "there's always magic in the air." (JR)
27. "Summertime" (1935)
George Gershwin's "negro spiritual" from Porgy and Bess was reportedly based on a traditional Ukrainian lullaby. But can we also detect a Jewish tinge in those bluesy intervals—generations of cantors wailing "fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high"? (JR)
28. "Lekha Dodi" (16th century)
While Rabbi Isaac Luria, a Sephardic Jew living in Safed, gets credit for inventing the Sabbath eve service, props for its signature poem go to another Sephardic poet, Solomon Halevi Alkabetz. This song—which modestly includes his own name in an acrostic—cemented the image of Sabbath as bride/queen. (AYK)
29. "Bei Mir Bist Du Shein" (1932)
Arguably the most famous Yiddish song ever. It was written by Sholom Secunda, who famously sold the publishing rights for $30. A few years later, Sammy Cahn allegedly heard it performed by two African American singers at a Harlem nightclub and quickly jotted down an English translation. Cahn kept the Yiddish refrain and interpolated the German "wunderbar," because Al Jolson was then starring in a show of the same name. Cahn passed the song on to the Andrews Sisters, and the rest is a history of covers that spans the globe. (AYK)
30. "What the World Needs Now Is Love" (1965)
From Brill Building titans Burt Bacharach and Hal David, this '60s hit is an ecumenical prayer for peace, love, and understanding. It's the Jewish "Kumbaya." (JR)

Women and work, women and prayer: from ancient Rome to contemporary Brooklyn
Where is "Hanukkah, Oy Hanukkah"? Where is it?
I think you are carrying your liberal approach to Judaism a bit too far.
"White Cristmas" is an enjoyable song. I have always been a fan of Bing Crosby and I think Irving Berlin is an excellent songwriter.
But to claim that it is a "Jewish" song is bending over a bit too backwards (or forwards.)
In my book " Jewish Music as Midrash: What Makes Music Jewish?" I tackle this whole notion of authenticity as a Jewish expression in music. Though I cannot subscribe to "hite Christmas" being Jewish simply because Irving Berlin wrote it, I ask the reader to think about both the function of the music and what midrash or point of view this "Jewish" work illuminates an aspect of Judaism. Not being Christian is hardly good enough as a midrash for me what about you?
You may order my book and the double CDs of accompanying examples from Michaelisaacson.com
Are you kidding? You include Madonna but only put in ONE song by Leonard Cohen? And it's "Halleluyah"? What about "Who by Fire"? What about "The Partisan"? What about almost ANY OTHER SONG by him?…And what about Mendelssohn? What about Ernst Bloch? What about Kurt Weill, for God's sake? What about Jacques Offenbach? AAAARRRGH! My head's going to explode!
Albert Von Tilzer (#73–Take Me Out to the Ballgame) was Jewish alright but he was not an immigrant. He was born in the US–Indiana, I think.
PS Billy Joel is Jewish on both sides–not half Jewish.
Whatabout MelTorme Christmas Song. In my opion the best Christmas song written by a Jewish composer
I think you went too far in trying to associate Christmas Song as part of Jewish Liturgy just because they were written by Jewish Songwriters. You can't disassociate the Songs from the Movies that they wer written for.
White Christmas is absolutely a Jewish song. It's written by a Jew, for one, which seems to be the criteria here (Is Strange Fruit more Jewish for some reason?) And it also speaks to a kind of longing implicit in all the songs listed above. I think it's a terrific list.
Also? I had no idea Billy Joel was Jewish. Half or whole.
Nice list.
"I Have A Little Dreidel" is a translation of "Ikh Bin a Kleyner Dreydl," lyrics Ben Arn, music Mikhl Gelbart.
Was there anything by Shlomo Carlebach on this list? What about
"Am Yisroel chai, Od aveinu chai"
Is there a more popular Jewish song?
Now that I think of it, where are Mi Y'malel and Maoz Tzur?
I always enjoy reading the Tablet because I find your pieces to be thorough and objective. This list has however most unfairly completly avoided contemporary orthodox music. You might have at least chosen Rabbi Shlomo Carlebachs Am Yisroel Chai the theme song for the efforts to free Soviet Jews or his his Lman Achai (Because of my Brothers and friends) which was sung by Pope John Paul at Shay stadium before tens of thousands. These and many other of his compositions are sung all over the world from Chariedi orthodox to Reform and Renewal and every other denomination. Such a flagrant omission world acclaimed popular cries out for explanation
I forgot the word music in the last sentence
Zum Gali Gali is a genuine Israeli song sung in summer camps and school around the world.
Israeli pop hits are conspicuously missing.
Sharm El Sheikh
Push the Button
There's really only ONE Ladino song in this list! Los Bilbilikos (#44) and "La Rosa Enflorece" (#63) are the very same song!!!
Ronnie Bennett didn't marry Phil Spector until 1968.
Hal Blaine is also a MOT.
Can't believe you completely left out Dan Nichols.
But that's the problem with lists like these. They're completely subjective and you're always going to get complaints no matter what you do.
Haven't you guys ever heard of Jack Yellin?
New York State Of Mind. More Jewish than Movin' Out.
This list is too ethnicity-oriented. Lots of non-Jews have written better Jewish songs than many of the half-hearted Jews on this list: Desmond Dekker – "Israelites," Bob Marley – "Exodus," Siouxsie and the Banshees – "Israel," Frank Zappa – "Jewish Princess."
This list is an outrage and is beneath the editorial stature of Tablet.
It belongs in a personal blog, not in an award-winning Jewish online magazine.
Here's why:
1.- This list is full of Ashkenazi and US etnnocentrism. As if the entire Jewish world revolved around Yiddish-speaking musicians in New York and LA.
2.- Only 2 mentions of Ladino songs, which, as someone else has pointed out, are the SAME song with different lyrics. You might expect the authors of such a self-aggrandizing list to at least do their research.
Also… Ladino culture is renowned for its enormous musical collection. But the authors thought only 2 –really, 1– song was worth mentioning.
3.- No mention whatsoever of the Morroccan Sephardic tradition, which has been recognized by academics and musicians alike, as one of the most rich in terms of what they did to the Arab-Andalousian musical heritage.
4.- No mention whatsoever of the Mizrahi pizmonim, piyyutim, or bakashot (which are subgenres of the religious poems sung in the synagogue and at family reunions). Again, this inmense tradition has been researched, showcased, recorded and performed by many, many artists. This genre is even undergoing a kind of renaissance, with singing projects, onlie archives, reinterpretations, etc. But this also wasn't relevant to the authors, who seem obssessed with Ashkenazi, Hollywood and Broadway showtunes.
5.- Next point: Christmas music???? Really??? I bet the authors themselves know this is ridiculous, and just threw them in to:
a) create controversy
b) help make the 100 list
c) were sloppy in their initial premise
6.- When they mention Kol Nidre, they do not bother to mention that the song they love so much is only the Ashkenazi tune… and that half the Jewish world recites the Kol Nidre to entirely different music. I know that this gripe is more concerning the writing, rather than the list itself, but is shows the one-sidedness and Ashkenazi-ethnocentrism of the entire endeavor.
7.- Pop songs like "I Got Rhythm", "Copacabana", "Funkytown" and many more that the authors have included… ARE NOT JEWISH SONGS!!! Just because the songwriters, singers, and/or producers were Jews does not make the song a Jewish song.
I could go on… but really, you get my point.
This list belongs in the author's personal blog, where they can be as irresponsible as they wish. But publishing it on Tablet is a disgrace.
If you want to do a top-100 song list, there are other ways to go about it. Maybe consult a group of 4 or 5 experts from different fields. Maybe have the public vote on their favorites. Maybe specify what constitutes "Jewish" in the first place.
In fact… so much that could be done right.
Yet there is so much that is wrong with this list.
@Susan: I'd say that's the best thing about lists like these.
Aerosmith's drummer, Joey Kramer, is Jewish.
Rachel B.
I applaud
Billy Joel was and is Jewish, Whole Jewish, and I and everybody of baby Boomers generation, know that from the first song he ever created.
agree, many of the well known songs are NOT Jewish at all.
A composer wrote a song, it became a hit, there is nothing in the song about Judaism or Jewishness…why it's Jewish ??????
The story is wrong, the headline is wrong, the intention is wrong.
Please fix it, or at least change the headline to:
"Most popular Jewish composers and song-writers of the 20th century"
I was sorta hoping to see the anthem of the "free the Jews from the USSR" movement of my youth…We Are Leaving Mother Russia by Safam! nothing captured that movement more than that song….and they definitely deserve a shout-out, especially if Debbie Friedman got one!
I have been reviewing Jewish music since 1999 and was 90% happy with your list. It's a bit Tin Pan Alley-heavy, but you hit all the key Israeli songs. Here are my suggested substititions: Bonzo Goes to Bitburg, Ramones; Ain't Necesarily So, Porgy & Bess; You've Got a Friend, C King; Only the Good Die Young, B Joel; God's Song, R Newman; Good Evening Mr Waldheim, L Reed; by P Simon– Silent Eyes, Old, The Teacher, Hearts and Bones and by L Cohen– Song of Isaac, If It Be Your Will, Who By Fire. You also missed these songs: On Christmas I Got Nothing, C Brosdsky; Lonely Jew on Christmas, South Park; One of Us and All You Zombies, E Bazillian; Untitled, P Himmelman; Reuven Ben Menachem and Never Again, Remedy; …No Master Race, MC Serch; Warsaw 1943 and Jericho, J Clegg; Don't Call Me White, Fat Mike; The Indifference of Heaven and The Envoy, W Zevon. And Indigo Girl's This Train. Not all of these songs were as well-known as the ones you chose, so I could do a follow-up arcticle for you about lesser-known Jewish songs by well-known Jewish songwriters.
Where is Devendra Banhart, Shabop Shalom?
Where is Serge Gainsbourg?
Just saying…those dudes are in my personal top 100.
There should be regulation aginast lists like this. There are no 100 best of anything. But since it's already written: Bernstein?! "White Christmas" was eclipsed as putative best by "Why, Oh, Why, Oh, Why-O," a perfect song.
Another addition:
Zog Nit Keynmol or Never Say—-the anthem in honor of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
Wierd Al–Pretty Fly for a Rabbi–and I don't think he is even Jewish.
Wierd Al, a non Jew, wrote the hilarious Pretty Fly for a Rabbi
Amusingly idiosyncratic list, but how could it not be? To engage with my fellow commenters (generally not a good idea, but I live recklessly):
Hallelujah is a way better song than Who By Fire.
Piano Man is a better song than either New York State of Mind *OR* Movin' Out, but that's like saying getting punched in the face is better than getting punched in the groin.
It is a strange list with overwhelming emphasis on American music as if authors have no idea that Jews outside USA write songs also. If criteria for being Jewish music suppose to be the ethnicity or religion of the music's author – then why they did not include composers from Poland, Russia, Germany, etc.? For example, the song of Matvey Blanter "Katiysha" or Mendelsohn's "Wedding March"? These are very popular around the world indeed.
The biggest nonsense of all was to include in the list among "100 greatest JEWISH songs" "White Christmas", "God bless America" and "Internationale". What these songs have to do with Jews or Jewishness?
Where are the lovely Yiddish songs like "Vu nemt mir abisale mazl" or "Lomir ale ineinem", "Az der rebe Elimeilah" or "Koif papirosn"? Where is the nice shabes song "Shalom Aleichem"? Where are Sephardic songs "Avram avinu", "Bella", etc? Where are Israeli songs? Nothing was created in Israel besides "Yerushalaim shel zahav" and "Hatikva"? How about "Nigun", "Tni li yad", "Heiveinu shalom Aleichem"\, etc? Unlike "Internationale" or "God bless America" or hymn of the Soviet Socialist Republics those are indeed Jewish songs.
Very strange list – to say it the least.
Don't forget Michael Bloomfield, one of the great (Jewish) American electric blues guitarists of the 1960 and 1970s, played on Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited."
I Just reread this — SO FREAKIN' INFORMATIVE! And yes, it's Ashkenazi-ish but there are a LOT of diverse genres on this list, c'mon. And how did it not dawn on me before that Lenny Kravitz ripped off Yo-Ya?? My mind she is blown. Kol Ha'Kavod to the authors.
Well, so that is how "diversity" works, according to @marjorie… "Yes, let's have a selection that is heavily slanted towards MY kind, and let's just pepper it with a few minor references here and there to OTHER EXOTIC things, and then it will be diverse."
This list is bullshit, as well as your idea of what "JEWISH" is.
I was actually hoping to see Frank Zappa's "Jewish Princess"…
It has about the same slant as Tablet as a whole. American. Secular. Not interested in Israel. In fact, pretty clueless about Israeli culture and utterly clueless about orthodoxy, Israeli American or otherwise, except when a demon is needed.
No surprise. Tablet is what it is.
Not so sure I agree with you @Adina (maybe a bit).
The reason why I like Tablet is because it tends to be very balanced in terms of liberal and conservative, intellectual and traditional, secular and orthodox… as well as all the many variations in the middle of the spectrum.
My issue is not so much with Tablet, but with this list… and on second term, with the hypocritical idea of "diversity" within Jewish culture, as was demonstrated by Ms. Marjorie in her comment (and in much of her writing).
I wish that was true. But to me Tablet seems clueless about and uninterested in the traditional community. To stay with the topic of music, there was no coverage of the astonishing success of the Maccabeats Chanukah video Candlelight, with the exception of one snide sentence in a blog post. I think it is an interesting cultural phenomenon. I say an article somewhere pondering why it got so many more hits than the very funny recent AJWS video. Tablet appeared not to notice that Candlelight happened.
50. "Lechi Lach" (1986)
Debbie Friedman's adaptation of the Biblical "Lekh Lekha," the command God gives to Abraham to go and find his destiny, is one of the few songs written in the last century that has reached near-liturgical status. Sung at graduations, confirmations, and bar and bat mitzvahs nationwide, this song is guaranteed to reduce any group of parents to tears within the first few bars.
On a list with no song by Shlomo Carlebach, whose tunes are now used by congregations around the world and whose name now describes a category, the "Carlebach minyan" with purley musical (no theological) meaning, this listing proves my point.
And I cannot count the many different lyrics, prayers and youth group songs, set to the tune of "Sharm el-Sheikh."
I found the list fascinating and amusing, but it is the product of two people who know only a very small slice of world, the secular, American slice.
Amen to the Maccabeats' extraordinary and transcendent "Candlelight".
Amen to Shlomo Carlebach.
Double shame on the authors for these (and other) omissions.
Who doesn't love lists? I think lists helped Mike Levy's Texas Monthly become part of the culture – lists such as Best (a) Chicken Fried Steak (b) Mexican Food (c) barbecue ribs (traif but when they are great they are sooooo good) (d) whatever.
But, what is a Jewish song? I won't get into the REAL Jewish songs that were omitted (other than to wonder how l'dor v'dor was omitted), but if a Jewish lyricist makes a song Jewish, "The Christmas Song," by Mel Torme, written after "White Christmas," has to be high on the list. According to Charles Osgood last Sunday, it is the most performed Christmas song.
One of my favorite aspects of Tablet is the comments section! This list may or may not include the top 100 Jewish songs but the comments certainly do!
This half-Ashkenazi Jew likes Tablet. But my mother wasn't Jewish, so who am I?
Someone else also mentioned one of my favotites, Zog Nit Keynmol (the Partisans Song). Another of my all-time favorites since I first heard it in elementary school is Dona Dona.
Thanks to all who responded to my earlier reply and ordered a book from michaelisaacson.com
Jewish Music as Midrash; What Makes Music Jewish? is now in its third printing and seems to fascinate all who read it and listen to its two CDs of musical examples.
al kol eleh by Naomi Schemer; (practically another Israeli national anthem).
This is not a list of Jewish songs. This is a list of, largely, ASHKENAZI Jewish songs. Jewish and Ashkenazi are not synonyms. How about a REAL list of Jewish songs, or at least label it properly? And having a couple of token Ladino songs (which, incidentally, are both the same song) does not count. What a disappointment from the intelligent writing one has come to expect (at least sometimes) from Tablet.
Does anyone know a good sheet music book for Klezmer
music that includes a piano part? I'm looking for a
score, not a Fake Book.
no songs or melodies of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach? that's weird
I love this collection and the sprightly commmentary accompanying it. It may neglect Sephadic music somewhat, but it's full-on from the heart of Jewish music most familiar to most Ashkenazim (who consititute the majority of contemporary Jews). There are nuances and incongruent little details that delight me and doubtless many others. One can also come up with substitutes or alternative collections. The miracle is that someone had the heart,courage and intellect to put this list together. It hits the highs and lows, the idealizing and the trashy, the spectrum of life. Mazel tov. This should be put out on a CD album, if someone hasn't already.
You mention that "I've Gotta Be Me" is "Sammy Davis Jr.'s answer to his Rat Pack confrere Frank Sinatra's 'My Way'" but Frank's recording of "My Way" didn't come out until 1969. It could be that "My Way" was meant to emulate the success of "I've Gotta Be Me," which predates it by a year.
Neil Diamond? …and not Joseph Kosma's gorgeous "Les Feuilles Mortes" with french lyrics by Prevert. As beautiful as September Song when done by Yves Montand. Toots Thielemans called it "the empress of songs…" Neil Diamond? Get real!
"Stay with me" as recorded by the Dictators, written by Andy Shernoff.
What about Phil Ochs?
There is a distinct laziness to having no criteria at all for this list. Gentile composers create music that has no religious affiliation and cannot be described as "Christian", "Hindu", or "Moslem". Therefore I don't understand the lazy anything goes attitude expressed by this group of music critics. I appreciate and enjoy the music created by Paul Simon and E. Y. Harburg perhaps even more than that of Sulzer or Lewandowski, but there is a distinct reason why Sulzer and Lewandowski's music clearly qualifies as Jewish that does not follow AT ALL for either Simon or Harburg.
There is a cuteness to this list that reveals to me a deliberate thumbing of the nose and that of course is a classic post modern Jewish stance. My sense is that the authors are more interested in seeing who they can get worked up by making this list than actually thinking through the pieces and coming up with a comprehensive list that reflects the history and culture of Jewish music. For example, why pick a song from West Side Story to represent the work of Leonard Bernstein when he composed an entire body of music that is clearly and deliberately Jewish (eg., Kaddish). As one other commentator pointed out there is a clear lack of Sephardic music or any other diasporic Jewish music other than Ashkenaz. And where are the many compositions that have come out recently from the downtown Radical Jewish music movement? What I can only conclude is that this list was thrown together without a significant amount of profound thought and as I already wrote above, is meant more to provoke than inform. What a pity. And what a wasted opportunity. My final observation: this list fails the test the critical list of the top 100 pieces of Jewish music is still waiting to be made.
I agree with most of what you wrote in terms of not putting deep thought into what constitutes as Jewish Music, except for your comparison to "Christian" or "Muslim" music.
I don't think that Judaism falls exactly under the same umbrella as it is not just a religion, but rather a "Peoplehood". This includes also other shared cultural and other characteristics beyond just religion ( I've never heard anyone refer to the Christian people for example…).
So the list should be wider than just "religiously" affiliated, but maybe a bit narrower and more thoughtful then what they did…A great conversation starter though.
This is NOT a List of Jewish Music! This is a list of Music by JEWS!. There is a big difference. If I, as an orthodox Jew, write a Mass is it Jewish? No it is Chritian. As is White Christmas. I. Berlin may have written it but it is not a piece of Jewish Music. Nor is this a liskt of Ashkenazi Music- Again, maybe music written by Ashkenazism. There are , infact, three major streams of authentically Jewish Music. REliogus- Not only Ashkenazic and Sephardic, but Yemenite, Italian, Greek, etc.; Secular- Yiddish and Hebrew – experesseing the hopes, dreams and politics of the Jewish People, and Israel- but only that which, again , express the hiopes, ideas, and dreams of the Jewish People. Modern Israeli Rock, would be classified a s, perhaps, Music by Jews, as opposed to Jewish Music, the same as most of the Tablet's list.
There is an error here.. Billy Joel is 100% Jewish
Dee Dee Ramone, non jew, wrote the lyrics to Blitzkrieg Bop. Try again.
Listen to Fortuna's version of Shalom Aleichem (on the A Jewish Odyssey compilation on Putumayo Records) and tell me that's not in the top ten.
I've enjoyed a lot this "100 BEST JEWISH SONGS", thank you so very much. I'll pass it on to my lists too (wish I could eliminate all those ignoramus comments though…
…Yes, it's disgraceful that many of the commenters are so ungrateful and write so many critiques, most quite ignoramus and totally bypassing any hint of good spelling and grammar!
If they think themselves so muchh better, why not do it themselves like…live and let live???
There's a good proverb: "Tell me what you boast of and I'll tell you what you are lacking."
re the comment "Listen to Fortuna's version of Shalom Aleichem (on the A Jewish Odyssey compilation on Putumayo Records) and tell me that's not in the top ten."
OK. I'll tell you. It isn't.
Just wondering…are all these composers 100% Jewish? I.E., both parents were Jewish? No question about the genius and beauty of these songs, that will live forever. For that I say, thank you.
Another great Jewish-authored Christmas Song:
To all those who seem to be yelling about this list as not jewish or whatever. I quote from the "not Jewish" Frank Zappa:
"Don't yell so loud. You'll hurt your voice."
Fun list. Don't agree with everything, but that's OK. You certainly provoked responses.
where can this be purchased. i have searched on line.
I agree with everything David C says. Putting "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" at #1 is an obvious thumbing the nose. This list is ridiculous and should be taken as a joke or light humor. It is not scholarly, well researched or open minded; nor is there any cogent guiding principal to it.
As to those who are asking if the composers are fully Jewish by having two Jewish parents, Judaism is a religion, NOT a race.
Great article! I'm making a documentary film about #2 on the list, Hava Nagila. Called Hava Nagila: What Is It?, the doc traces the amazing journey of Hava Nagila from a Hassidic wordless prayer in the Ukraine to Bar Mitzvah standard to international pop culture utube favorite. It's an unexpected and unexpectedly deep story, how a song can carry with it the entire Jewish experience from oy to joy! Check it out at Havangailamovie.com Everyone who donates $18 gets a credit on the film!! Roberta Grossman
"Over the Rainbow", the unofficial gay anthem, written by two Jews. Who knew?
Your list could have gone on for another 100, especially if you had included anything by Stephen Sonheim…Send in the Clowns; I'm Still Here; songs from "Gypsy"; etc. And there's a lesser-known singer/composer who has an international reputation with young people: Sam Glazer. His "My Letter in the Torah" is a big hit with kids.
They ain't making Jews… by Kinky Freedman deserves to be on the list,
but to overlook City of New Orleans by Steve Goodman, who actually got a country grammy for lifetime achievement is criminal. And I would hope that good ol' Jewboy Kinky would agree with me.
Since all of the lists include Irving Berlin's White Christmas- what about Mel Torme's Christmas Song? Chestnuts roasting on an open fire….?
Yes, ideally, Kinky Friedman, Steve Goodman, and more Sephardic music should be on this list, but hey, there are only 100 slots. (But Steve Goodman, I mean, really, should be…). This is tremendous fun. Oz as Yeretz Israel? Interesting…
That list is very short somehow, where are all those classical jewish composers ??
Seltzer BOY!
For Gene, 12/21, 2:53: God Bless America, Irving Berlin is as Jewish as you can get. God is Jewish not Christian and 'stand beside her, and guide her' means Jews should stand beside the New Promised Land and direct her. Very cleverly worded with disguised meaning but Jewish none the less.
The list is fun (though meaningless. I recall reading some years ago that while the vast majority of the great Broadway composers were Jewish, one of the greatest, Cole Porter, who was not, seemed to have been the most influenced by Jewish music.
And yu did get one fact wrong (maybe more; this is the only one I' aware of). Averham Idelsohn did NOT write the words to "Hava Nagila". The words were written by one of his young students in Palestine, Moshe Nathanson, who went on to become the Reconstructionist Movements first cantor (in NYC). Source: "Heritage of Music – The Music of the Jewish People" by Judith Kaplan-Eisenstein.
What about Idan Raichel's Im Telech (If You Go)?
Love the list, but for the omission of this: http://vodpod.com/watch/1680650-laughing-with-by-regina-spektor#, which is a must.
Just a note: The band listed here as Poogy was known inside Israel as Kaveret, and they really did have some great tunes–and lyrics.
Great list and great follow up comments. (I agree with the person who suggested Yerushalaim Shel Zahav should have been on the list, especially after tablet's excellent podcast about the song a few months back.)
I think you shoud have differentiated between songs written by Jews and
Jewish songs. There _is_ a difference.
If a Christian publication used the same wide definition, then "If I Had a Rocket Launcher" by Bruce Cockburn would be considered a Christian song" because he is a Christian! That song is NOT a Christian ong, but a song written (and sung) by a Christian.
So is "Ave Maria" a Christian song when Amy Grant sings it, but a Jewish
song when Barbra Striesand sings it! 8-)
The video of Bob Dylan's "Neighborhood Bully" (No.94 on the list) has been removed by YouTube "because its contents violated YouTube's Terms of Service".
Can it reslly be that the person(s) responsible (or the computer program used for the purpose) have characterized this song as fomenting hatred toward Jews?
Witless and outrageous!
perfect example of the new Latke Judaisim. White Christmas a Jewish song? You are reducing Judaisim to non alcholic beer, a soy burger, a miserable shadow of its meaning.
this is a great list. it accomplishes what it set out to accomplish, dialogue, and looking at the world through jewish eyes. to those who found fault, create your own criteria and lists, the more input the better. the important part of the exercise, is to share with others.
"nobody comes to synagogue on Yom Kippur because they believe in those words"
Really? Every time I start to enjoy an article in Tablet – a ridiculous, insulting and false statement always shakes me back to reality. Can you at least PRETEND to respect the observant amongst us?
what about Carole King,, "You've Got a Friend"?
Meir Finkelstein? Julie Gold's " From a Distance"
Goldrich Heisler's Alto's Lament?
Abie Rotenberg's The Place Where I Belong?
Shlomo Carlbach?
Robbie Krieger? ( ok, a distant cousin..)
Cantor Adolph Katchko? ( yeah, my grandfather)
I enjoyed most of it,, would hope that someone will do another list soon! I'm doing a concert and a cd soon, called, The American Jewish Songbook and some of the comments were helpful!
what about Shalom Rav? Klepper/Friedlander??? one of the greatest temple hits!
There are many great songs on this list. However, I was hoping to find a list of Yiddish Folk songs and words to them (even music sheets if possible).
It is very sad that the Yiddish culture is disappearing. A list of Yiddish songs(as a working document) would be a good way to contribute to the history of our culture as much as possible, and a practical step to preserve what we could still collectively save from disappearing. Just a thought…
You did a good job of creating an eclectic list of songs by Jewish composers, but you missed one of the best – TOM LEHRER!! Yes, he is Jewish and he even wrote a Jewish song – Chanukah in Santa Monica – which is much more clever than Adan Sandler's Chanukah song.
Tum Balaleika-In spite of the title,the song is the lament in riddle form about a young wouldbe lover on how to attract the young lady of his dreams and desires.
Im Nin´alu in 1968 ??? In this year, Ofra Haza was barely 11 years old !
Album "Shaday" was relased 20 years later.
A wonderful, wonderful comprehensive look at these great, familiar songs. They have been part of our lives since we were children, and we have a tendency to take them for granted! Bravo to the writers for a terrific article!
A thoroughly enjoyable way to spend. Shabbat afternoon. Clicking through to youtube. Even reading the 101 comments of many missing songs. I invite a second round of the 100 greatest Jewish songs. There are definitely at least 00 more based on your criteria. Thanks so much.
I am stunned that you have not included a single song of the man who nearly singlehandedly revived Jewish devotional music in the post war period and whose amazing and authentic melodies are sung in thousands of synagogues and temples and shtibluch across the world, from the ultra orthodox to Renewal to Reform, the person whose music galvanized the Soviet Jewry movement and Soviet Jews. I mean, of course, those of one of the greatest Jewish figures of the 20th century, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach
My reaction to the list was exactly the same as Micha's – it is riduclous to exclude songs such as "Am Yisrael Chai," which had such a profound impact on the movement to free Soviet Jewry, but include all sorts of songs that have nothing at all to do with Judaism.
What a wonderful list! And of course it would not be a Jewish list if it didn't elicit lots of protest and argument. Let the debate continue! I'll help by griping about the inclusion of I Have a Little Dreidel, and the exclusion of more songs by Debbie Friedman (Aleph Bet, Mi Sheberach, etc.)
What about 'Up on the Roof'? Gerry Goffin & Carol King's transcendent ode to the romance of the City?
In Dylan's "Highway 61″,I think Max the Finger is (Maximillian) Robespierre and Louie the King is Louis XVI; note the next line about red, white, and blue shoestrings…but maybe that theory is crap…that's why Dylan is so much fun…
You forgot Kinky Friedman's "Ride 'em Jewboy," which is THE greatest Jewish Country Western song of all time. The one you mentioned is a pastiche, but Ride 'em Jewboy slams straight through, even in the cover version by Amalek Willie Nelson.
Well, I for one am glad that a pedophile rapist's songs aren't on the list.
Lol,I love Mr.Jackson! He was the best to ever do it! We will never ever have someone like MJ! Rest in Peace to the KING!
I was surprised to see so few
specifically Jewish songs (as distinct from songs written by Jews); in fact, on reflection, I think the exercise,
as done here, objectionable. Do you recall the claim by Richard Wagner
(and his many supporters) that Felix Mendelson was "Judaizing" music?
They claimed there was something ineffably Jewish about the music . . .
and . . . well, so what's Jewish about "My Funny Valentine?"
Jacques Offenbach (his father was a cantor) composed the opera, 'Genevieve de Brabant which included the 'Gendarmes Duet'. The stirring music of the Marines Hymn was derived therefrom.
The stirring melody of the Marines Hymn came from the works of a Jewish composer, Jacques Offenbach. He composed "Genevieve de Brabant which included the "Gendarmes Duet"
I was surprised by some of the choices. It should have included at least one Wilco song, since Jeff Tweedy is an honorary Jew.
This list is just a confusion between "Jewish songs" and "Songs written by Jews". 2 different things. Most of these songs are not Jewish songs.
In what way is Over the Rainbow a Jewish song? The same goes for Hihway 61 or White Christmas?
Are you embarrased by Jewish songs like Havah Nagila?
A great list. Really well chosen selection. Yasher koyekh. But can we finally, once and for all, put to rest the notion that something is Jewish because it was done by a Jew? Even when it is done in a tongue-in-cheek, trendy post-modern hipster way, it is still redolent of Nazi ideology. Their excuse for kicking all of the Jews out of the orchestras (an early expression of their ideology) was that no matter how well a Jew may do something (i.e. play Beethoven) it is still an imitation and their true (that is, Jewish) nature comes through. A Jew can only play Beethoven in a Jewish way. If "Over the Rainbow" is a Jewish song because it was composed by a Jew, if the act of a Jew composing a non-Jewish song makes it Jewish, then a Jew playing non-Jewish music makes it Jewish. So, my question to the authors of this great & fun list, do you really believe that anything a Jew does is Jewish or were you just having fun, making a cool list, and not really thinking about the underlying issues and their implications?
You forgot my favorite song: "yahad kol ha'derech" means "together all the way". When I lived in Israel on 1996 (there was an intifada) the kids chanele made their own version to the song:
Interesting point… not sure I agree 100%, but that's OK. Everyone is allowed their own opinion, right? I'll keep checking back to see if anyone else agrees or not. Thanks!

Excellent guide. Thanks pertaining to sharing this info. It's extremely of great help me. From ones article, I know far more in this particular respect. I might continue making time for your posting.
This is my Excerpt
Many possibilities for falling fond of this content. The feedback were good defined as well as persuasive. After reading the article, I learned plenty which is to be very beneficial to my long run life.
Thanks for your website, it is very helpful. I found the information that I need and I will come back. Best Christmas Gift Ideas
I came across your blog's link posted by a friend on Facebook. Thank you for putting useful info on the internet. It's hard to find these things these days.
Thanks for your post. What I want to point out is that when searching for a good online electronics shop, look for a web site with entire information on critical indicators such as the personal privacy statement, basic safety details, payment methods, and various terms along with policies. Usually take time to see the help and also FAQ areas to get a superior idea of the way the shop performs, what they can perform for you, and how you can maximize the features.
I like to have a break during the my day and browse via some blogs to see what others are saying. This blog appeared in my search and I couldnt help but clicking on it. I am glad I did because it was a very enjoyable read.
Thanks for the tips you have shared here. Something else I would like to say is that personal computer memory specifications generally go up along with other advancements in the know-how. For instance, whenever new generations of processor chips are made in the market, there's usually an equivalent increase in the size demands of both computer system memory in addition to hard drive space. This is because the software operated by way of these processors will inevitably boost in power to leverage the new technology. /wp-login.php?action=registerOne thing I'd really like to say is the fact that before getting more personal computer memory, consider the machine in to which it will be installed. In the event the machine can be running Windows XP, for instance, a memory ceiling is 3.25GB. Putting in above this would easily constitute a waste. Make sure that one's motherboard can handle your upgrade amount, as well. Good blog post./wp-login.php?action=registerI have really learned newer and more effective things by means of your blog. One other thing I would like to say is always that newer pc os's have a tendency to allow additional memory to use, but they as well demand more memory simply to work. If a person's computer can not handle far more memory as well as the newest software requires that ram increase, it can be the time to buy a new Personal computer. Thanks/wp-login.php?action=registerGood blog post. The things i would like to add is that computer memory should be purchased if the computer can't cope with anything you do by using it. One can deploy two RAM boards having 1GB each, in particular, but not one of 1GB and one having 2GB. One should always check the company's documentation for one's PC to be certain what type of storage it can take. /wp-login.php?action=registerSome tips i have seen in terms of computer system memory is there are specific features such as SDRAM, DDR and so on, that must match up the technical specs of the motherboard. If the computer's motherboard is pretty current and there are no operating system issues, improving the memory space literally normally takes under sixty minutes. It's on the list of easiest computer upgrade processes one can picture. Thanks for giving your ideas.

I've been searching for information regarding this subject matter for moths and this is the greatest I have proudly located. I enjoyed your writing.
"The Chanukah Song" makes this list, and "Sunrise, Sunset" doesn't? Puh-leeze. "Sunrise, Sunset" is to weddings as "L'chi Lach" is to bar/bat mitzvahs; if I'm singing it and at least one of the mothers isn't boohooing by the end of the seventh bar, I'm having a really bad day.

After unveiling the artwork for his upcoming studio effort, The Diving Board , Elton John has now announced that the album will arrive in stores September 24. As previously reported, pre-orders are being taken now on iTunes. Order The Diving Board now and you'll get an instant download of the album's first single, "Home Again."
The Diving Board will feature 12 new songs written by John and Bernie Taupin , as well as three "piano interludes" composed by Elton. The record will be available in a variety formats including Standard, Deluxe, Super-Deluxe and 180-gram vinyl. The Deluxe versions will feature a bonus track, "Candlelit Bedroom," as well as live versions of three of the songs that were recorded in Capitol Records Studios back in April.
The Super-Deluxe edition includes all of that, as well as a specially designed and embossed box, a photo book, an exclusive art print, a DVD of the Capitol Records Studios performances and the album on vinyl.
The Diving Board is a mostly stripped-down affair, focusing on John's piano and vocals, plus bass and drums. In a statement, Elton says, "In many ways, I feel like I'm starting again, making records. Several years ago...I had to ask myself, 'What kind of music do I really want to make?' and I realized that I had to go back to go forward again. I needed to strip away the excesses and get back to the core of what I do as an artist. That's what The Diving Board represents... The Diving Board is the album I've been waiting to make for decades."
Here's the track listing:
"Oceans Away"
"Oscar Wilde Gets Out"
"A Town Called Jubilee"
"The Ballad of Blind Tom"
"Dream #1"
"My Quicksand"
"Can't Stay Alone Tonight"
