Best name ever. Hands down. Korea has a new and possibly very unaware appreciation for the Jews.

I just saw them singing this song live on SBS. My first reaction was to search Dave's to see if there was a thread making fun of them. Laughing

Have you guys listened to the lyrics? They don't even get the meaning right. I think they're using it like "Good Luck". Whee incorrect literal translations.

Mazeltov 힘내봐 Mazeltov 웃어봐 Mazeltov Monday, Tuesdsay, Wednesday....

Using mazeltov for a "congratulations" kind of meaning (as it should be used), that makes NO sense at all.

If Koreans would stop saying '화이팅' and start using that, I'm all for it.

If they said mazeltov instead of 화이팅 they'd be using mazeltov wrongly.

We know that. Koreans are not using '화이팅' in proper context either.
I just wish they stop using '화이팅' that's all. It's just so embarrassing.
