Mad music for festivals - Happy Navroze!

From a very Parsee project manager:

May the cholesterol Devil never keep you from:
The eedas on your bheedas
May your plate be full of sali ma marghi
May you drink your fill and dance with glee
Cause we all celebrate being a Parsee

Do not to your doctor go
Asking if you can eat Malido
Refuse not malai na khaja
Instead, khai pi ne karo majha

Afraid of cholesterol do not be
Boldly devour your akooree
Heart attacks should not scare thee
Eat all you can, even some  jalebee
Wish all our friends and family
A Very Happy Navroze
and
All the Very Best for YZ 1380
May you and your family always be showered by the blessings of
Ahura Mazda
for the coming year and the years that follow
Amen

Mad music for festivals (Hanukkah)

This is hilarious. Apologies to my Jewish friends!
(From Prairie Home Companion/ Tom Lehrer, Garrison Keillor)

I'm spending Hanukkah, in Santa Monica,
Wearing sandals lighting candles by the sea.
I spent Shavuos, in East St. Louis,
A charming spot but clearly not the spot for me.

Those eastern winters, I can't endure 'em,
So every year I pack my gear
And come out here to Purim.

Rosh Hashona, I spend in Arizona,
And Yom Kippa, way down in Mississippa.
But in Decemba, there's just one place for me.
'Mid the California flora,
I'll be lighting my menorah.
Every California maid'll
Find me playing with a dreidl.
