Louchie Lou and Michie One lyric:
“rich is getting richer while the poor is getting stink
And if me rich, Would I take a mon offa the streets
And if me rich, would a build up a school and teach in a-it.”

stefani lyric:
“Think what that money could bring
I’d buy everything
Clean out Vivienne Westwood
In my Galliano gown
No, wouldn’t just have one hood
A Hollywood mansion if I could
Please book me first-class to my fancy house in London town.”

the Louchie Lou and Michie One dancehall reggae version kicks gwen stefani’s butt, because it has way more soul, like the fiddler version. jews and blacks are cousins.

I think the author to the story was Isaac Bashevis Singer, but I’m not 100% sure about it. It seems like I read that somewhere once.

Oh…if only I didn’t have school! I love Fiddler – I just saw a production this summer, put on by Broadway By the Bay.

As for the other bonus question, which was, I believe, on the program when I first saw the show (as a high school production) a few years ago…wasn’t the story Tevye the Milkman, or something like that? I don’t remember the author…
