Listening to the Black Eyed Peas say “L’Chaim”

If you had a few “L’Chaims” this weekend while dancing in the clubs of downtown Minneapolis, I’m sure your DJs played the song “I got a feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas. How cool is it that the song has the words “Mazal Tov” and ‘L’Chaim” in its chorus? Have you ever heard a song on the Top 10 in the U.S. quoting Hebrew?

For those of you who have not yet heard the song, check it out here:

Fill up my cup (Drink)
Mazal Tov (L’chaim)
Look at her dancing (Move it Move it)
Just take it off

No need to wonder who decided to include those Hebrew words; Jewlicious did the research. Producer and co-writer of the track is David Guetta, a French Jew.
