Lyrics
[TEVYE & PAPAS]
Who, day and night, must scramble for a living,
Feed a wife and children, say his daily prayers?
And who has the right, as master of the house,
To have the final word at home?

The Papa, the Papa! Tradition.
The Papa, the Papa! Tradition.

[GOLDE & MAMAS]
Who must know the way to make a proper home,
A quiet home, a kosher home?
Who must raise the family and run the home,
So Papa's free to read the holy book?

The Mama, the Mama! Tradition!
The Mama, the Mama! Tradition!

[SONS]
At three, I started Hebrew school. At ten, I learned a trade.
I hear they've picked a bride for me. I hope she's pretty.

The sons, the sons! Tradition!
The sons, the sons! Tradition!

[DAUGHTERS]
And who does Mama teach to mend and tend and fix,
Preparing me to marry whoever Papa picks?

The daughters, the daughters! Tradition!
The daughters, the daughters! Tradition!

This is fantastic. This is the most perfect song / source match ever. I was collapsing in giggles from the very first clip! Oh, I love this so much, I can't even tell you.

[seekingferret]

:D Thank you!

[semielliptical]

Ahahaha! Perfect! This shows just how much they all deserve each other. :D

[seekingferret]

:D Yep, they deserve each other the way most families do. Thanks!

[torachan]

This is great! :D

[seekingferret]

Thanks!

[linguology]

Oh my god, this is brilliant.

[seekingferret]

Thanks!

[sophinisba]

Ah ha ha ha this is so great, yay!

[seekingferret]

Thanks!

[drlense]

This is OUTSTANDING. I laughed out loud a LOT. Great job, vidder!!

[seekingferret]

Thanks!

[purplefringe]

I have never seen Arrested Development, but even so this was HILARIOUS. Great job!

[seekingferret]

Thanks! You should watch Arrested Development, it is great!

[gavagai]

This is delightful, not least because A Fiddler on the Bluth sounds like it could be a rejected Tobias storyline. Love!

[seekingferret]

I am so furious with myself for not thinking of titling the vid A Fiddler on the Bluth.

[seekingferret]

So... um... can I steal that as my vid's new title?

[gavagai]

Aw, absolutely! will you put an acknowledgement somewhere in the vidder's notes? Nothing obtrusive, obv :)

[skygiants]

These are two great tastes that go AMAZINGLY together.

[seekingferret]

I KNOW. Thank you!

[thingswithwings]

omg this cracked me up! The best was when the whole family was doing the chicken dance as the melodies all came together, SO FUNNY. Though Lucille's winks were also brilliantly used.

[seekingferret]

Thanks!

[condnsdmlk]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The most perfect Bluth song ever. Can't even choose a best bit, all of it was brilliant.

[seekingferret]

Thanks!

[deelaundry]

Tradition! Perfect choice of song. Agree with ThingsWithWings that the chicken dance was particularly inspired.

[seekingferret]

Thanks!

[morbane]

Oh, excellent! Really clever transitions between the character 'groups', too - I particularly liked Papas to Mamas and the smooth way you switched focus to Lucille. This was such a great song to bring out dramatic eye-rolling and the throwing up of hands and everything that makes the Bluths larger than life.

[seekingferret]

Thanks!

[franzeska]

Bwa ha ha.

[seekingferret]

:D

[sarkastic]

This is hilarious! Ahhh!

[seekingferret]

Thanks!

[cupidsbow]

Now that is a *brilliant* song choice. :)

[seekingferret]

Thanks!
