A parody of Marry You by Bruno Mars, this high-energy music video features The Fountainheads singing a fun, light-hearted song about the excitement and joy of building and dwelling in a Sukkah. The Fountainheads is an all-volunteer, student-led artistic project, led by young Israeli singers, dancers, and musicians, all students of the Ein Prat Academy for Leadership, who have joined forces to create new Jewish artistic content for today’s Jewish world. The lyrics can be seen below.
Livin’ in a Booth
It’s a beautiful night
We’re looking for something fun to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna build a booth
Is it the stars in the sky?
Or is it these dancing Jews?
Well who cares, baby
I think we’re livin’ in a booth
Well, in my tabernacle
I got everything we need
For the show
With my Etro-oog
So, come on now
Who cares if it rains
Gotta whole lotta chains
Don’t you know
This Schach doesn’t go
It stays on, yo
Don’t say no no no no no
Say lu lav lav lav lav lav
And we’ll go go go go go
If you’re shakin’, like I’m shakin’
Cause it’s a beautiful night
We’re looking for something fun to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna build a booth
Is it the stars in the sky
Or is it these dancing Jews?
Who cares, baby
I think we’re livin’ in a booth
Campin’ out here
There’s nothing to fear
We’ll go far
Under the stars
It’s all right girl.
If we wake up and the
Sukkah breaks up, that’s cool
No, I won’t blame you
Let’s just run yo
Don’t say no no no no no
Say lu lav lav lav lav lav
And we’ll go go go go
If you’re shakin, like I’m shakin’
U’shavtem mayim besasson (draw water with joy)
Mimaynei hayshua (from the wellsprings of salvation)
Waters overflow
From the fountains of salvation
Oooh….
Just dwell in booths
Say it right now baby,
Say it right now baby
Just dwell in booths
Say it right now baby,
Say it right now!
