Sean Altman uses satire and melody to spread the message that people of all<\/span>   <\/span>      backgrounds should consider foregoing circumcision for their newborn sons.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
B<\/span>y REBECCA WALD<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cMoishe Pipik\u201d\u2014directly translated from the Yiddish this phrase means \u201cMoses Bellybutton.\u201d It\u2019s an illusive, archaic, Jewish expression that might be used to describe a prankster, one who pushes the boundaries of acceptable mischief. Sean Altman is a modern-day Moishe Pipik, a contrasting player of wisdom (Moses) and humor (bellybutton), with a voice as rich, silky and complex as a Jewish grandma\u2019s chicken soup broth.<\/span><\/span>
<\/a> <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
I stumbled upon Altman\u2019s work because his hilarious new music video \u201c<\/span>Phantom Foreskin<\/a>\u201d is making rounds among my Facebook friends. I quickly learned that Altman isn\u2019t just another guy singing parodies. He\u2019s an accomplished vocalist, lyricist and satirist who gained widespread attention as the founder of <\/span>Rockapella<\/a>. That\u2019s the pioneer acapella group and vocal house band featured on the 1990s hit PBS show \u201cWhere in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?\u201d Altman wrote and sang the iconic theme song.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Currently, Altman is the creative mind and voice behind JEWMONGOUS<\/a>, an original comedy song concert that takes an irreverent look at all things Jewish. He also leads The GrooveBarbers<\/a>, hailed by The Village Voice as \u201cacapella rock and soul royalty.\u201d Lesser known are two of Altman\u2019s phenomenal lyric videos, \u201cFollow Me to Heaven<\/a>\u201d and \u201cKnow Me<\/a>.\u201d Both are singles from his forthcoming, non-comedic album SALT. \u201cKnow Me\u201d is a haunting tune in which Altman claims he wants you to know him but then devilishly turns the tables. After hearing that song, I yearned to find out more. Fortunately, Sean Altman was happy to oblige. <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rebecca<\/span><\/b>:  <\/span>I love Jewish humor and would even say it\u2019s high art. What is it about Jewish comedy that you find so appealing?  <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sean<\/span><\/b>:  <\/span>My comedy song act JEWMONGOUS is my own quirky way of connecting with my ancestry. As a proud, secular Jew I take tremendous pride in the Tribe\u2019s achievements and values.  I long to feel like I\u2019m a contributing member of the team, but I have no interest in praying to a deity I don\u2019t believe in. I\u2019m an observant Jew in that I like to observe other Jews. Thus I\u2019ve channeled three things I love\u2014singing, songwriting and joke telling\u2014into a project that explores my people\u2019s idiosyncratic nature, in comedic song. There\u2019s also an obvious nod to my funny Jewish forbears\u2014everyone from Mel Brooks and Woody Allen to the brash Jewish comics of the last 15 years: Sacha Baron Cohen, Sarah Silverman, Jon Stewart, Andy Samberg, et cetera.   <\/span>  <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rebecca<\/span><\/b>: Any thoughts on why Jewish people have played such a large role in American comedy over the past century?<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sean<\/span><\/b>: Although there\u2019s nothing inherently funny about Judaism (ok, maybe strapping a box of tefillin<\/i> to one\u2019s head), I believe that the oppression that my people have suffered for thousands of years has engendered humor as a survival mechanism. When your village is ransacked, your house is confiscated by the government you trusted and your sister is getting molested by Cossacks, humor is one of the things that enables you to survive. It\u2019s no accident that the two funniest and most comically influential ethnic groups in the USA\u2014Jews and Blacks\u2014have both suffered years of discrimination. Oppression clearly begets comedy!  <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rebecca<\/span><\/b>: You\u2019ve got an amazing voice. Was there a specific time in your childhood when you realized your talent for singing? Tell me about that. Do you have a long tradition of singers in your family?<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sean<\/span><\/b>: My mom, my dad and my stepmom are all musical, and I\u2019m grateful that they exposed me to folk, rock, classical, musical theater, calypso, pop and R&B. Regarding my awareness of my own abilities, I do recall singing in the back row of my first grade chorus in the Bronx and thinking \u201cHmm, there sure are a lot of kids here singing off key.\u201d I\u2019m the only member of my family who ever attempted a career as a performer, so in that way I\u2019m the family maverick and the only one without good health insurance or a retirement plan.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rebecca<\/span><\/b>: Do you have a hard time keeping your material clean enough to have a wide appeal? Does this even factor into your creative process?<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sean<\/span><\/b>: People regularly come up to me after a JEWMONGOUS concert and say \u201cWow, that was musically wonderful and hilarious and I\u2019d love to present it at my synagogue. Do you have a clean version of the show?\u201d Like I\u2019m going to create an entirely alternate set of lyrics, replete with obsessive internal rhyming! As much as I hate to admit it I do have alternate clean (a.k.a. watered-down) lyrics for a few of the songs. I have several other \u201cclean\u201d music projects: The GrooveBarbers (acapella group), Doowopera<\/a> (doowop mashed up with opera), The Everly Set<\/a>(Everly Brothers tribute act) and my own Sean Altman repertoire of bittersweet originals and covers.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rebecca<\/span><\/b>: You\u2019ve addressed the circumcision topic with some frequency in your songs. In your new video \u201cPhantom Foreskin,\u201d you sing a ballad to your long-lost flesh. Do you really wish that you hadn\u2019t been circumcised or is the foreskin just something funny to joke about? Ever thought of (or tried) foreskin restoration?<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sean<\/span><\/b>: \u201cForeskin restoration\u201d sounds suspiciously like \u201cvaginal rejuvenation.\u201d With my luck, they\u2019d get the skin color match wrong and I\u2019d end up with a zebra-stripey penis.  When I was in Rockapella I used to joke that we were \u201cavailable for your next wedding, bar mitzvah, bris or even \u2018sirb\u2019\u2014the reverse process.\u201d Who could have predicted that the miracle of modern medicine would make my futuristic sirb dream a reality?  In fact, I\u2019m perfectly happy with my schvantz<\/i> although\u2014like most men\u2014I wish it were three times its current size and could speak French.  <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rebecca<\/span><\/b>: What about the movement that\u2019s questioning circumcision? Where do you stand?<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sean<\/span><\/b>: I\u2019m pro-choice, squarely on the side of penile rights: I believe in every pecker\u2019s God-given right to choose its own fate. Seriously, though, as much as I respect certain Jewish traditions, I\u2019m grateful that the intactivist movement has made young parents of all religions aware of the leave-well-enough-alone option.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rebecca<\/span><\/b>:  You said somewhere that you chose S&M as your bar mitzvah<\/i> theme. Were you kidding? I\u2019ve always wondered about the lasting impact of circumcision on the male psyche. When extreme pain is the first experience a person has from their sex organs it can\u2019t be good. Thoughts?<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sean<\/span><\/b>: Indeed, the S&M-themed <\/span>bar mitzvah<\/i> is merely a joke, although the truly crappy food at my bar mitzvah did cause me great (albeit not sexual) humiliation. I agree; the pain of the snip can\u2019t possibly be a happy memory, although\u2014let\u2019s face it\u2014the anguish of being expelled from one\u2019s impossibly cozy home of nine months into the chilled, fluorescent-lit air of a hospital room is probably no picnic either.  <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rebecca<\/b>: As far as Jewish people opting out of circumcision, what\u2019s your sense of the trend? <\/p>\n

Sean<\/b>: A few of my intermarried friends have opted out of circumcision for their boys, and I respect and applaud their decisions.<\/span> <\/span><\/span>I suspect that over the next hundred years the practice of circumcision may fade away along with other questionable Jewish traditions like answering a question with a question and gefilte fish. But wait, I\u2019m now going to reveal what no one else has the chutzpah<\/i> <\/span>to admit, or maybe no one has thought of it. The intactivist movement\u2019s single biggest, unutilized weapon is porn. It\u2019s no secret that in spite of its myriad detractors, the porn industry is here to stay and grows more pervasive by the minute, driving technology in the process. The minute the most common porn image of the boner is uncircumcised is the minute the tide will begin to shift. You\u2019re welcome, America.<\/span><\/div>\n

For those in the Manhattan area, if you<\/i><\/span>\u2019<\/span>d like to see Sean Altman perform, his next live appearance will be Friday, February 12. Four of his projects will be on display in a variety series called \u201cOut By 10<\/a>,\u201d which also features the NPR radio star Ophira Eisenberg.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
