Plus, “it’s a celebration bitches” is exactly what every preteen thinks at their bat mitzvah. The actual times he rapped “mazel tov” include 2007’s “Roc Boys (And The Winner Is)…,” where he raps, “ r ich n****s, black bar mitzvahs / mazel tov, it’s a celebration bitches, l’chaim / I wish for you a hundred years of success.” Love the use of both “mazel tov” and “l’chaim” in the same phrase. No, we have no idea what a "mazel tov cocktail" is. (He was saying molotov cocktails the mazel tov/molotov is actually a frequent rhyme, as we’ll get to later.) There was even a whole “controversy” around the 2016 election when right wing commentators accused him of rapping about throwing “mazel tov cocktails” at the police at a Hilary Clinton event. Jay Z uses “mazel tov” in his raps surprisingly often! Okay… it’s just three times, but still. But this one line takes the number two spot because of the clever wordplay of “yasher koach” (essentially ‘good job’) combined with “mazel tov.” I miss you, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend!!! Oops, I already wrote a whole article on this song. It’s a head-to-head yasher koach mazel tov off! JAP Battle (Reprise) – Rachel Bloom & Rachel Grate ( Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) ![]() And I thought Tracy would have his own take, but not really understand the event, and try to double down on the Halloween novelty song - combine the two.” Thus gifting us with a spooky, scary (and deep) jam we know and love.Ģ. According to an oral history of the song, showrunner Robert Carlock explains, “This was around the time - what’s the Black Eyed Peas song where they have ‘mazel tov’ in there? It just felt like they were clearly just trying to get played at bar mitzvahs. Do you think they knew when they wrote this song that it would be played at every single bar and bat mitzvah until the end of time? That thousands of 13-year-old Jewish kids would shout, “Fill up my cup, drank / mazel tov, l’chaim” in unison? We may never know.ĪLSO, cementing its status as number 1, this is the song that inspired the now-iconic “ Werewolf Bar Mitzvah” novelty song from 30 Rock. Thank you, Black Eyed Peas, for creating the ultimate bat/bar mitzvah song. Fill up my cup (drank) / Mazel tov! (L’chaim!) ![]()
