The Search - (JEP) Shalsheles Jr.
As much as we love the JEPness of JEP, we appreciate the updated music and vocals presented in this Shalsheles cover. Fear not: the lyrics and kvetchness are as JEP as ever.

Ashreinu - Even Sh'siyah
The "classic" Ashreinu with a kick. Also, I once promised to feed Even Sh'siyah to you all piece by piece by piece...
...and there will be NO peace until...
Ooh! Ooh! So, I'm sitting on my parkway--wait, did he say "my" parkway?--my parkway, and Charlie walks by and it is Erev Shabbos and Charlie stops and gives a long and heavy krechtz. "Niiiiine shalom zochors tonight," he says. "Can't do it anymore. I just can't do it anymore."
It occurs to me that I know very little of Charlie's biography, so I ask him. "Charlie, how old are you?" And he says "I've been 69 for the past 35 years."
I sense the conversation slipping (as if it was a conversation and I once had a grip on it) and I feel the need to get more information, more details, more color so I say "But really..." and he continues "My father brought me here the year the Rebbe became Rebbe."
I did not know that.

מה איתי? - Arik Einstein/Josie Katz
מה איתי, מה איתי, מה איתי
לא מסתדר עם עצמי
מה איתי, מה איתי, מה איתי
איפה שכחתי את שמי
לא יודעת למה
לא יודעת איך, איך ומה
רק רוצה לברוח,
מה זה קרה לי
טוב לי או רע לי,
תגיד לי...
מה איתי, מה איתי, מה איתי
בטח הוא שם לא שקט
מה איתה, מה איתה, מה איתה
מה היא רוצה באמת
לא יודע למה
לא יודע איך, איך ומה
רק רוצה לברוח
מה זה קרה לי
טוב לי או רע לי,
תגיד לי...
מה איתי, מה איתי, מה איתי,
בטח היא שם לא שקטה
מה איתי, מה איתי, מה איתי
איפה שכחתי אותה.
לא יודעת למה
לא יודעת איך, איך ומה
רק רוצה לברוח,
מה זה קרה לי
טוב לי או רע לי
תגיד לי...

Is It Too Late Baby? - Moshav Band
"So you wanna know why you're here, and you wanna know now..."
Listen, hear, the "Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh" riff three-fifths of the way through.

Devil Went Down to Georgia - Charlie Daniels
This is the clearest and most recent version I've seen, and "Johnny's" solo, as frenetic as it is--in the words of veteran critic Ber--is also the most energetic. Good stuff.
