You've no doubt heard Allan Sherman's classic song 'Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter from Camp)'.
Now the song has been updated to reflect the radical anti-Israel protests taking place on college campuses.
It's awesome.
through lyrics Twitter/X:
Goodbye Muda, Goodbye Pada
Joined Camp Intifada
Camp is very exciting
And they say the quad sprinkler rain will stop soonTuition is too expensive
To attend Poison Ivy
Do you remember the daughter who worked?
Now she's homeless after advocating for the genocide of JewsAll comrades hate Geos
People lacking pronouns in bios
And we want to charm the Houthis
So we join hands and shout ‘Death to Yahudi!’I made a new, less white friend.
And my Hebrew is now left-right
And when the Jewish kids start coming in
We demand that they all return to their homeland, Poland.Let me stay, oh Muddah, Faddah
Globalizing the Intifada
Don't take me to the countryside.
Cancel next year’s tuitionLet me stay, I'll proudly bet my Keffiyeh
And loudly shout “Death to America.”
I know everything I have to say
I've been here all dayloving father, loving mother
I'll stay one way or the other
You paid thousands of dollars for this college.
So our camp was able to take the janitor hostage.Wait a minute, the police are coming.
We're revolting, they're amazing
Please send food and water.
Mother, Father, I was kicked out of my alma mater.

It's not often you get to see or hear such a carefully crafted parody. I think it really captures the moment we're living in right now.
