With grateful thanks to Israel National News for the post, this is one of those 'you couldn't make it up' musical tales.
So, Hamas have apparently decided that if thousands of rockets and dozens of attack tunnels won't prevail in spreading terror, a song just might.
Problem is, the song they've gone for is upbeat and very hummable--not quite the scarefest they hoped it might be (the song, being in Hebrew rather than Arabic, is clearly aimed at an Israeli audience).
And Israelis, quite a few of them, rather like the tune! To the extent that they're creating tongue-in-cheek viral cover versions.

Scott Morgan makes his belated debut to sing his 'Songs of Life' (Miranda Music). It's a heartfelt session that transcends genre with material by Paul McCartney, James Taylor and Sammy Cahn/Julie Styne among others. The 13 tracks draw upon his own emotional experiences with love (both consummated and unrequited) and death. Morgan doesn't so much sing these songs as inhabit the characters within.

Charles Mingus once said he didn't so much as play jazz but express the sounds of his life. Doyle Bramhall II has taken that as his credo. Thus, his first CD in 15 years, 'Rich Man' (Concord) is a perfect example. The multi-talented singer/songwriter/producer/arranger is back from extensive travels through Mali and Morocco and it's all within the grooves of this epic 13-track 70+ minutes.
