Hockey Monkey in Greek

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

This is one of the most beautiful, joyous renditions of one of my most popular songs. This girl is singing Hockey Monkey in Greek, making it up as she goes along.

Says one of my greek readers: “She doesn’t try to rhyme the lyrics, just translating on the fly. She changes a few words, for example she says “parents/police running like crazy” “children in the park” “WE are having a good time”. They are laughing because she’s singing the translated “hockey stick” words very very fast to fit in the verse (in greek that’s many syllables).”

I don’t think she knows it’s a James Kochalka Superstar song because it’s credited to The Zambonis (who I recorded the song with) and Ookla the Mok (who covered it on one of their albums).
