The parody is below but the real song goes like this (WARNING: some girls singing):
Stick to the Shidduch Quo
Yossi:
Take a look
There's nothin' but books
When I am in the beis and on a roll
But I've got a confession
My own secret obsession
And it's making me lose control
Other yeshiva boys:
Everybody gather 'round
Yossi(spoken):
Well if everyone's telling their secrets then I can tell mine...I have facebook!
Yeshiva boys(spoken):
What?
Yossi(spoken):
I have facebook! Statii, pokes, even weird dorm life pictures
Yeshiva boys:
Not another sound
Yossi(spoken):
Someday I hope to have the most friends in YU!
Yeshiva boys:
No, no, no, nooooooooooo
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
Yeah, to be just like us
Stay away from that shtus
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo
Malkie:
Look at me
And what do you see
Such tznius, it's beyond compare
But inside I am stirring
Something strange is occurring
It's a secret I need to share
Girls:
Open up, dig way down deep
Malkie(spoken):
Bright colors are my passion! I love wearing green and pink and blue and red!
Girl(spoken):
Is that even legal?
Girls:
Not another peep
Malkie(spoken):
They're just colors. Sometimes I think they're cooler than wearing black.
Girls:
No, no, no, noooooooooo
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be frum
Then don't beat your own drum
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo
Out of towner:
Listen well
I'm ready to tell
About a need that I cannot deny
Dude, there's no explanation
For this odd situation
But I'm ready to let it fly
OOTers:
Speak your mind and you'll be heard

Alright, if they're all telling their secrets... then I'm coming clean! I want to live in New York!
OOTer 1(spoken):

OOTer 1(spoken):
Do you have to speak with an accent?
OOTer(spoken):
Shaw do!
OOTers:
No, no, no, nooooooooooo

Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be down
Then please stay out of town
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quoooooooo
Everyone:
No, no, no
stick to the stuff you know
It is better by far
To keep things as they are
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo

Girl 1(spoken):
Why is everybody staring at you?
Girl 2(spoken):

There is a special place in Hell for people like this.
*applause*
Fantastic! I love it!

I KNEW you were going to say something like that.

Whattaya mean? They're already in it.
Awesome song!
As you know, I *love* it. And the alternate (which I take full credit for) is WAY better than the unrealistic original. :)
Whattaya mean? They're already in it.
Can't disagree with that...!
And the alternate (which I take full credit for)
Hmph! But *I* wrote it!
Wow! *claps* That was great and adorable! haha. I am so getting tickets for this shidduch musical.
PS- any one here have a camera?
Cuz I dunno about you, but acting is one of the twenty things on my Number One Fave things to do. ;)
And my summer is free...
(and I mean that seriously- NYC is full of great spots to film)
Amazing!
And I'm totally with the crowd on this one--the alternate version makes a heck of a lot more sense in our cultural climate.
Terrific!
Really funny! I also vote for the alternate verse, though.
LOL -- That was magnificent. :-D
My apologies, I was taken up in my zeal to comment on the NY business:
Nicely done.
ROTF I love it! Maybe you'll think of making a video to go with it?
just found this. love it!
LOL, great job!
