A Yiddish Tango

For a little April Fool's Day silliness, I thought I'd share a tango. The Klezmer Conservatory Band sings "Ikh Hob Dikh Tsufil Lib," which is a Yiddish version of "I Love You Much Too Much." They actually switch into English for part of the song, but it's the incongruous juxtaposition of the Yiddish and a tango that really tickles me. You can hear the full track on last.fm, or buy it on Amazon. (Their regular klezmer stuff is also excellent, and highly recommended.)
