Right, I've heard the songs on the Six Ways to Sunday soundtrack and they are etched into the melody circuits of my brain, I short I want more of this thing they call Yiddish Swing.

Anyone got recommendations for a Goyim from Galway?

That Puppini sisters thread reminded me I wanted to pick the collective ilm brain on this one.

Also I don't mean the Australian duo of the same name. Although, who the hell were they?

"goyim" is plural. it would be goy, gentile, or sheygetz.

I love them so much.

They were originally the Bagelman sisters!

Search the "From Avenue A to the Great White Way" comp.
Search Mickey Katz ("Mish Mosh" is the best one)
Also, Don Byron's "Plays the Music of Mickey Katz"

Their version of Hava Nagila seems to be the same arrangement as Connie Francis'.
