Gavin,
It is the Black Eyed Peas, no doubt about it. Thanks.
(And a belated thanks to Eric who first said it, but
I didn't take the time to research it then. Sorry, man.)
While the tune comes from an album released last year,
a new video was released just three weeks ago. That
probably explains the resurgence of popularity for it.
If it was on the radio back then, I probably heard it
but wasn't paying as much attention at the time. Some
times life has this bad habit of getting in my way while
I'm making other plans. <g>
I searched the archives and found no mention of either
this tune, or of any Jewish Folk Music. Got any other
clues about where I should look for these discussions?
