I was too confused to be amused, because I soon as heard the music start, I assumed that I was listening to Zuntik Bulbes, and just as I realized that I was not, he switched into Yiddish for a bit, re-confusing me.

The original song this is sort of based on goes, translated into English, as follows: "Sunday potatoes, Monday potatoes, Tuesday and Wednesday potatoes, Thursday and Friday potatoes. But on Shabbos we have potato kugel! Monday potatoes again." You can hear a rendition of the non-inane version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmvGq0SZGL0
