The service is usually on Saturday morning with the big party on Sunday night. I live in North London. Lots of our friends and our kids’ classmates are Jewish so we’ve been to loads. This record has been played at just about every one. Yes, it’s a great track to kick off the dancing but there’s another reason too. It’s probably the only hit ever to contain the phrase “mazel tov”, so it’ll probably be played at Sunday night simchas for the next hundred years. Should we say “Congratulations” to will.i.am on such a shrewd lyrical move? No, we should really say “mazel tov”.
