The Hamantaschen Song, A Channel Frederator Featured Film!
Look out Peaches!
Goddess Perlman of Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad serves us up a tasty rendition of the Hamantaschen Song. Hilarous and hunger inducing.
The Goddess sat down with us and answered a few Q’s about the Hamantaschen.

1) How did you get the idea for the Hamantaschen Song?
From a feminist perspective of the Hamantaschen by Judith Shapiro. We’ve been led to believe that the Hamantasch is a hat or ears but in fact it looks more like a fertility symbol AKA the porn of our forefathers and mothers. I wanted to come up with some cute and adorable in a visual and audible sense that could be misinterpreted as something completely innocent. Who doesn’t love eating hamantaschen?
2) How did you hook up with the animator, Mike Enright?
Thru my web designer Patrick..I was working with another animator who was calling me every name in the book, which is always delightful so Mike was a refreshing change and he got the concept as we both have an appreciation for everything cute and kitsch.
3) Tell us a little about what Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad is all about. How did it start?
“Nice Jewish Girls Gone is Bad” is a comedy, music and burlesque extravaganza featuring performers from Comedy Central, HBO and other highly visible media outlets. We started at joe’s pub in NYC five years ago and have traveled pretty extensively around the country. We are at the Zipper Theater in NYC right now.
4) Do you have a recipe for Hamantaschen?
I think you mix the X chromosome with the Y
]5) What’s next for Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad?
We are Off Bway at the Zipper Theater in NYC until April 26th, Saturdays at 7:30pm. Please tell everyone you know so I can quit my day job. That’s my long range goal!
Let’s hope it comes true Goddess! We’re rooting for you!
