The Fountainheads from Ein Prat Acadamy for Leadership have done it- they have put out the viral video to beat for the Passover holiday. The video is a mashup of Cee Lo''s 'Forget You' and Diddy''s 'Coming Home.' The two songs blend surprisingly well together- the lyrics are meaningful, and it has high enterainment value. They currently have almost 10,000 views and I expect that this will grow exponentially within the next few days. The Fountainheads are made up of a diverse group which includes Israeli singers, actors, dancers and artists. It is a really interesting group and frankly- very talented. I now have a huge crush on their lead singer-Yoav Hoze- HE KILLED IT with 'Forget you and da-ye-nu' After two lack luster attempts (their Hannuka and Purim videos were just not that awesome) they have pulled through with what I venture to guess will be the viral video to beat for Passover.

Film and lyrics by Ben R: I dream of home, on my own Through the sands, I walk alone Wish away, across the sea Maybe one day I''ll be free... Hey you! Get back to work! Come on... Let me hear you! I''ve been buildin'' these pyramids For hundreds of years and I''m like Forget you! And all these chains on my back They just bring me to tears, And I''m like, Forget you And Dayenu! Said, if I was freer, you think I''d still be here? Well you sure got some chutzpah! (You''ve got some chutzpah!) And since you give me no rest I''ll be off on my quest Well uh, Forget you! Yeah I''m sorry, that I''m in a hurry, But that don''t mean I can''t bake my bread. Yeah you''re just chametz, but I''m Shmura Matzah Think I''ll be on my way instead. Me and my crew... we''ve had enough of you (You goin'' somewhere better?) Well... (Be sure to pack your sweater) Ooooooh, I''ve got some news for you Yeah, you messin'' with The Children of Israel! I''ve been buildin'' these pyramids For hundreds of years and I''m like Forget you! And all these chains on my back They just bring me to tears, and I''m like Forget you! and... Sheket Bevakasha! I must be dreamin, we''ve waited for so long we''re breaking free, goin'' back where we belong Listen up, reach out your hands It''s time to let my people go to the Promised Land! Come on! I''m coming home, coming home Tell the world I''m coming home Let the sea wash away All the pain of yesterday I know my freedom awaits (Freedom, baby!) Take control of my own fate (Can you feel it?) I''m coming home, coming home Tell the world I''m coming... (Mah nishtana!) I''m coming home, coming home (On this night) Tell the world I''m coming home (Who knows one?) Let the joy wash away All the pain of yesterday I know my freedom awaits (Thank God All Mighty) just across my seder plate (We are free at last!) I''m coming home, coming home (Can you feel it?) Tell the world I''m coming home.
