Static & Ben-El – “Broke Ass Millionaire”: The Official Music Video

This is troubling on so many levels.

First, we cringe every time we need to put the title of this song in writing. (After all, this is a family-friendly blog.)

Second, we’re still having a rough time getting used to Static & Ben-El singing in English.

Third, as fans of “Silsulim”, the beloved Hebrew song that was, shall we say…re-imagined here, it’s just a tad painful to see the song corrupted in an attempt to gain new fans in the United States.

BUT…we consider it a responsibility to keep you up to date with the boys’ attempts at making it big on the other side of the pond. And so, we present: “Broke Ass Millionaire” – the official music video.

Truth is, English lyrics aside, the duo did a good job with the video. It may look a bit familiar to long-time fans, but it’s still a lot of fun for newcomers into the Static & Ben-El universe.

For purposes of comparison, you can watch the video for the original “Silsulim” below.

What do you think of the new song and video? Can Static & Ben-El achieve stardom outside of Israel?
