The opening as it read in 2005

Hadag Nahash ("SnakeFish") is a chart-topping Israeli hip-hop group. Like many Israeli pop musicians such as Teapacks and the Idan Reichel project, The Dag Nahash blend Western pop music and ethnic music to create a unique sound tapestry, somewhere between hip-hop and world music. One of their most famous hits is "Shirat Hasticker" (known as "The Sticker Song" in English), written by Israeli novelist David Grossman . The lines in the song are all direct quotes or plays on slogans that actually appeared at some time on bumper stickers in Israel, but the unique collage of opposing political slogans juxtaposed against apolotical slogans, parodies and so forth creates an angry irony. Hadag Nahash has a minor rivalry with the famous Israeli hip-hop star Subliminal , as is shown in the lyrics of the song "Gabi V'Debi" (Gabby and Debi).1
