What better way to celebrate Adolf Hitler’s birthday with a list of 12 Awesome Jewish Musicians and Singers?!
Kicking things off at #12 is Jill Sobule who fave us the original song about kissing girls and liking it. Only Jill’s version had about 99% more sincerity.
The other 11 members of the tribe after the jump.
#11 Bette Midler. We can’t imagine anyone who would hate on The Divine Miss M.
#10 Lenny Kravitz. No matter what you think about Lenny’s music, you can’t deny that “It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over” is a pretty awesome song. You hear it and you’re like, “Oh yeah, I can see what Lisa Bonet saw in him.” Even Hitler would agree this tune is timeless.
#9 Randy Newman. Who else could have given the world so many Pixar songs and finally given the Dodgers something to play at games.
#8 Lisa Loeb. So adorable she could warm even Hitler’s heart. People forget that long before Tina Fey, Lisa was doing the whole “sexy librarian” thing.
#7 Paula Abdul. Not just for a string of hits in the early 90s, but also for the fact that she choreographed almost every single one of your favorite Janet Jackson music videos. We think Hitler would be wishing that Paula was singing “Forever Your Girl” to him.
#6 Jakob Dylan. What would 1997 had been with out this handsome Hebrew heading up The Wallflowers? Just look at this punim!
#5 David Lee Roth with out whom there would be no “Jump” or at least not the kick ass 80s version we remember.
#4 Gene Simmons. A tongue that made him infamous and tall boots that would have been perfect for kicking Der Furer in the behind.
#3 Lou Reed. “Said, ‘Hey Hitler, take a walk on the wild side. And the Gestapo goes doo doo doo doo doo doo”.
# 2 Simon & Garfunkel. You know if Hitler had been a teen in the 60’s this soooo would have been his “tortured artist” jam. He would have totally gone to his room, put on this record and wrote in his journal “This song is so me!” (only he would have written that in German).
#1 Two words, three guys: Beastie Boys.
