“SHAS” by DJ Capgun (Parody of “Shots” by LMFAO)

Today is the day many of us have been waiting for...SIYUM HA'SHAS! Congrats to all of those (including my dad) who made time each day for the past 7.5 years to learn the entire Talmud, and I hope I can one day celebrate my completion of the cycle.


Below are lyrics I wrote for the song "Shas", a parody of "Shots" by LMFAO (I know, not the most appropriate song out there). The karaoke version of "Shots" can be found at the YouTube link below, but it does show some scantily clad women. The song can be purchased on iTunes/Amazon. Enjoy!

When I enter Metlife
On August 1
With the Daf Yomi crew
We say Hadran
We like Yoma
Moed Katan
We came for a siyum
Everybody it’s on
Let’s go
Shas shas shas shas shas shas
Shas shas shas shas shas
Shas shas shas shas shas
everybody (x2)
Hey (x21)
The rabbis love us
When we finish shas
They need an excuse
For bagels and lox
We spent seven years
How about you?
Seven more?
Let’s go round two

Shas shas shas shas shas shas
Shas shas shas shas shas
Shas shas shas shas shas
everybody (x2)
If you ain’t learning shtark get the heck out MetLife
If you ain’t learning shas get the heck out MetLife
If you ain’t kovea itim get the heck out MetLife
Now where my Agudah-niks let me see ya hands up
What you shteiging?
Temurah
Menachos
Avodah Zarah
Ketuvos
Bava Kamma
Shekalim
Wait a minute...
Get me Gittin
Shas
Not here to watch the Jets, I’m ready for some Shas
No peanuts or beer vendors around, only Shas
Recite all the names of Rav Pappa’s sons at the Siyum Ha’Shas
So black hats in the air, everybody finished Shas
If you feeling frum, put your hands in the air
& if you a magid shiur, put your hands in the air
Now say Hadran Alach (Hadran Alach)
Hadran Alach (Hadran Alach)
Yasher koach (yasher koach)
Yasher koach (yasher koach)
Shas
Yisgadal v’yiskadash...we just finished Shas
We’re restarting the Daf Yomi cycle we’ve done Shas
Tailgate party by the West Gate, we completed Shas
Who cares if speeches are in Yiddish we’ve learned Shas.
La dad a da
La dad a dad a da (x8)
