You’ve undoubtedly heard Allan Sherman’s classic song “Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter from Camp).”

The song has now been updated to reflect the radical, anti-Israel protests on college campuses.

This is fantastic.

Lyrics via Twitter/X:

Hello Muddah, hello Faddah
I joined Camp Intifada
Camp is very inflammatory
And they say the quad sprinkler will stop raining soon

Tuition is so expensive
To attend a Poison Ivy
You remember Ilhan’s daughter
She is now homeless because she defended the Jewish massacre

All comrades hate the Zios
Who don’t have pronouns in their biographies
And we want to charm the Houthis
So we hold hands and sing ‘Death to the Yahudis’

I’ve made new friends who are less white
And my Hebrew is now left-right
And when Jewish children come in
We demand that they all return to Poland

Let me stay, oh Muddah, Faddah
Globalize the Intifada
Don’t take me back to the suburbs;
Canceling my tuition for next year

Let me stay, I will wear my Keffiyeh with pride
And shout loudly: “Death to America”
I know how to say everything
I’ve been here all day

Dearest father, dearest mother
I’ll stay somehow
You paid thousands to this college
So our camp could make the caretaker a hostage

Wait a minute, the police are coming
We are rebelling, they are stunning
Please send some food and water
Mother, father, I have been excluded from your alma mater

These two Twitter users are the talent behind the song.

You don’t often see or hear such a carefully constructed parody. It really captures the moment we’re living through right now.
