It's also my band's name :-). However, we don't actually do it because it has too many words for my vocalist, who can only handle so much Yiddish.
That's probably why I didn't think of it as a Yiddish sing along (we only do ale brider and chiribim). Also, on some side notes, somebody called me up once and wanted to know if we were related because his last name was Mashke. Turns out he wasn't even Jewish! Also, when I first started building the web site for my band I tried to get www.mashke.com, but some guy in Poland had grabbed that because he had a girl friend named Mashke. And he wouldn't give it up (actually he would have for $300 but I wasn't about to pay it). So I used www.mashkeband.com for my web site (shameless plug).
