Yalla Ya Nasrallah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Yalla Ya Nasrallah" is an Israeli pop song written by Frishman and the Pioneers during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict. The title translates as "Come on, Nasrallah". The amateur music video associated with it [1] features clips of Israeli soldiers in military exercises—presumably along the Lebanese border. The lyrics include an array of insults directed toward Hezbollah (particularly Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah), Iran, and Syria. It quickly became popular in Israeli culture as "a sort of anthem that would both unite people and make them laugh."[2] Soon after its release in Israel, the song and music video became popular among users on the web who favor Israel in their political opinions.
Another song by a Palestinian group called "The Hawk of Lebanon" was also written about Nasrallah during the same time, however, the song has a more positive view of the leader.
