The opening as it read in 2015
Noy Alooshe ( ; born 13 August 1979) is an Israeli journalist and musician of Tunisian Jewish descent best known outside Israel for his Zenga Zenga spoof song on Muammar Gaddafi . He lives in Tel Aviv and is a member of the Israeli techno group Chovevei Tzion ("Lovers of Zion"), best known for its hit song "Rotze Banot" ("I Want Girls"), a Hebrew remix of the Swedish dance song " Boten Anna ." Alooshe said he is excited "to be making waves in the Arab world as an Israeli" but he is also a bit worried: "what if Gaddafi stays in power and comes looking for me?" As a result of his success from the video "Zenga Zenga", Alooshe shared that he is also now receiving many commercial offers: "These days are crazy because advertisers are calling me and wanting me to do productions for them; music companies want to sell the song on iTunes ." He has also received antisemitic death threats , though he said he is not too concerned since "at the moment they remain on the Internet." Apart from Zenga Zenga , his by far best known work, he also spoofed Benjamin Netanyahu 's speech in front of the United States Congress to the tune of " We No Speak Americano " as "Bi Bi pro Americano".1 He also wrote Dvir Bar's song "Livni Boy," one of Israel's first political YouTube hits. Alooshe worked for Tzipi Livni 's Hatnuah campaign in 2013. The New York Times . p. Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs .
