By the rivers of Babylon

Here is an interesting video of aBob Marley song.

Surprisingly, the upbeat formulation manages to work with the tragic content, which startles and gives food for thought. Can joy and mourning coexist?

I believe that this tune was also done by some Jewish group with the Hebrew words; if anyone knows, please post in the comments.

Finally, please disregard the strange and curious  (and non-sensical) pro-Sadducee slant in the captions.

Here is a trailer of a movie about the Jamaican-Jewish connection. A 3 sec shot at about 50 seconds should be bypassed (A not fully tsniusdige moment).

I was always partial to Don Mclean's version (forgiving the images);
