Si dice che italiani sono dei mammoni, ma lo sono anche ebrei e greci.
Pavaroti ha cantato "Mamma" in onore di tutte le mamme italiane, ebrei hanno "My yiddishe mamma"! Ecco qui straordinaria interpretazione di Tom Jones:
My Yddishe momme
I need her more than ever now
My Yddishe momme
Id like to kiss her wrinkled brow
I long to hold her hand once more
As in days gone by
And ask her to forgive me
For things I did that made her cry
2.
How few were her pleasures
She never cared for fashion styles
Her jewels and her treasures
She found them in her babys smiles
Oh I know that I owe what I am today
To that dear little lady whos gone away
To that wonderful Yddishe momme
momme, momme of mine
[third verse they sing in Yddish, In vasser und fayer,
however it differs from the version posted above,
but I don't speak the language so I can't transcribe it
correctly; it
ends with English line]

....
Such a wonderful Yddishe momme
momme of mine
