The Original J-Town Diaries Theme Song

The J-Town Diaries is a (currently) six episode web series about Noam and Avi, two guys from Toronto who wind up living, traveling and working in Israel for 6 months.

The fan-favourite has always been episode 2 (see below for an embed), but before any episodes were ever shot, there was an idea for an original theme song to introduce each instalment. This never materialized, but after more than two and a half-years, I've found the original notebook in which it was scribbled, and for the first time ever, I wish to introduce the lyrics to the aborted song. You'll have to imagine the beat and tempo yourself. Good luck. Here goes:

Two dudes - from Toronto

Done school - wanted a change of scene.

Went down to the airport -

got some tickets to Tel Aviv.

Worked on their Hebrew skills-

Lived on a kibbutz like slobs.

Bounced over to Jerusalem -

Landed themselves some crazy jobs.

(insane acoustic guitar riffs. Notes say 'G-F-C' for lead-in)

Noam works at a Museum-

thinks that he's Indiana Jones.

Walks around wearing a funny hat-

He gets excited when he finds old bones.

Avi's job is in a research center-

and that's all he can really say.

If he told you what he does,

he'd have to kill you. (1-2-1-2-3 time drum beat two times)

(Chorus:)

J! Town! Diaries!

J! Town! Diaries!

These two guys from Toronto

live near the West Bank.

One of their closest friends, commands an Israeli tank.

AND... Did we mention that they share their building with a math slash bellydance teacher?

Well, they share

their building with a math slash bellydance teacher.

They also live with an Aussies, some French and some folks from the USA.

Everyone wants to party,

but they've all got work the next day.

So if you've never been to the neighbourhood,

or are just looking for another round.

Be sure to make a visit,

to a place called J-Town!

(Chorus:)

J! Town! Diaries!

J! Town! Diaries!
