It's Akon. You can bank on it.

Can somebody tell me why the filthiest filthiest hiphop songs make really good tunes for "Lecha Dodi"?

Akon, "Smack That." You know the part where he goes "Smack that, all on the floor / Smack that, give me some more / Smack that, till you get sore / Smack that, o-o-o-o-oh"? "Lecha, lecha dodi / likrat, likrat kalah / p'nei, p'nei Shabbat / Shabbat nekabela."

Beenie Man, "Dick." The part that's all "They don't know dick like you know dick / Dick is your dearest friend / They don't love him when he's in bed / Kiss him and play with his head." "Lecha, lecha, lecha dodi / likrat, likrat kalah / p'nei Shabbat nekabela / p'nei Shabbat nekabla." Or even "Lecha dodi, likrat kalah / p'nei Shabbat n'kabla / lecha dodi, likrat kalah / p'nei Shabbat n'kabla."

Oh my.
