Oy to the World!

Composer, arranger, and non-stop serial music maker Paul Libman has scored thousands of commercials and composed for the musical theater. He wrote the annoying theme song for Jim Nayder's NPR mainstay, The Annoying Music Show.

Now he's created ex nihilo a band called The Klezmonauts to merge Christmas music and the Klezmer sound of Jewish tradition in an album of Klezmer Carols.

The album contains 10 songs —nine "traditional" tunes and one original work called Santa, Gey Gesunder Heit (Go in Good Health).

Listen to The Klezmonauts' version of Jingle Bells.

And here are more samples from the album.
