Lipa "Hang Up The Phone" (Official Music Video)

In a futuristic take on his hit song Hang Up The Phone from his blockbuster album Leap of Faith, superstar Lipa Schmeltzer teams up with producer and director Danny Finkelman to tackle our generation's ever growing infatuation with gadgets head on, in a music video that is equal parts science fiction and practical advice for today's technologically obsessed society.
In an almost other worldly dream, Lipa becomes one of a group of newly delivered high tech robots that come to life after hours at the Boro Park branch of the The Buzz, an appliance and housewares superstore. The robots' fascination with electronics is evident as they test out gadgets, both large and small, and dance their way through the store.
Hang Up The Phone is an original Lipa composition and the sixth track on the newly released Leap of Faith album, with hard hitting lyrics in both English and Yiddish, written by Lipa.
At just over six minutes long, the video offers a light hearted look at what we become when we spend more time interacting with our electronics than with our families and the people around us.
A SparksNext Production, Finkelman and cinematographer Mauricio Arenas breathe life into Hang Up The Phone, creating a presentation that will inspire viewers to strike the necessary balance, enabling them to take advantage of today's technology in a responsible manner.

oh Lipa Lipa!!! i love this!!! now i love the song even more. "Lipa always taking it one step further"!! Thank you!! keep it up

[@newnewllc]

Lipa rock on!!! you are a inspiration for many to do the right thing!

[@stars1836]

I agree that there is a time and place for different things. Sometimes we need to put down the phone and have good quality time with others face to face.

[@cto1usn]

Now that is Pretty Cool. I Like it.

[@miami2ny89]

I think that was the best Jewish music video I have ever seen! great message, choreography, editing, etc... I also recognized Isaac Mizrachi (one of the dancers) from elementary school- good job, bro!

[@shmuel5420]

thank u lipa for making so many people smile and to all people who try to knock you down there all jealous and dont try to judge people and of course not lipa i wish u Many more years to go higher and higher thank you!

[@ashtorguitarplayer]

Way to go Lipa! Relevant and good quality music :) Beautiful!

[@Faith-nk3rk]

Great vid guys Loved it! I just got to share this one.

[@Faith-nk3rk]

I thought this was a really cute video. Shows our common problem isn't restricted to our own nation. People of every kindred, tribe, and tongue are suffering the same sense of loneliness and isolation. And so we get sucked deeper into the vortex of our own silent tech-no worlds. I am trying to break out of it. But when you sit with friends all fixated on their cell phones, you sometimes figure...what's the use... Lord help us.

[@omidshefa4686]

Lipa, this is sick, Amazing job, you keep getting better at music just as you keep getting better as a person, keep up the good work, you are like the "Bal Shem Tov" he also had misnagdim, you make a valid point by pointing out how hooked we are on technology and not paying attention to more important things in life,

I had to tell my wife to wait because I was watching this on my iPad.

[@SaySababa]

interesting... well done

[@stars1836]

it's not about being like the gentiles. It's about reaching out to people in a way that speaks to them. Whether that be with dance music like this, or rock music like the Yaakov Chesed band with their inspiring Jewish songs, etc.

[@otiliorules]

Is this the stockroom at B&H?

[@gabriellabodis714]

This is sooo true !!!

[@4bakersdozen]

[@lisalan100]

[@shmekil]

WOW! AMAZING LIPA! its similar to Lady Gaga Telephone Music Video...

[@zaliwins]

Do you understand the Yiddish part?

[@Hefsiba]

שחה חה שיר טוב

[@benhakak]

Yiddish Oi- What's my father missing He doesn't have a computer Today, every little whistle-blower (Every Kid) In new toys (gadgets) he bathes There's no more peace How do we get rid of it Oy vey- Gevalt, (Yiddish expression similiar to "Oh goodness") Hang up the phone already English I'm going to a wedding The entire hall is squawking Everyone is phoning To the wall I'm talking My friend is with his bluetooth We're together we are walking Hey, hello please, Can you hang up that, That phone!!! All the hocus-pocus Forever tries to choke us It's making such a ruckus We can barely focus Davening, Davening and driving, Eating, working, sleeping Why keep on replying To all the rings and beep beep beep beep beeeeeeeeeeep Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone Lay lay lay... Instead of searching Google I'm busy making Kugel Instead of checking Email I lift my hands to Himmel (the sky) [Yiddish] Yiddish I don't need this for this book I only use an Aleph-Beis book Lay, lay, lay, lay, I have a Kosher telephone Ipod, iphone, ipad Aii, why does it come into my house/Shul I still remember when an "I" [an egg] ("I" means egg in Yiddish) only meant egg with onion I still remember when Blackberries Didn't used to grow in Manhattan And only those who had a headache Would make use of tablets Enough already with the phone (mixture of English and Yiddish) Enough already with the phone (Yiddish)

[@mythoughts613]

Funny you should say MBD...are you forgetting one of his early songs that everyone was screaming about ..."Let my people go." Get a life and allow people to enjoy music. Music in and of itself does not hold Tumah or Tahaara, it is the words that we put to it. In today's day and age, I would much prefer that my children tune in to this and not the garbage on the radio with inappropriate words. This way, they are listening to music that they like, without hearing nonsense.

[@npatiha]

any human being can like this song

[@yossie718]

No, Its the Buzz Of Boro Park

[@idream4it]

Pretty good but still stupid could of been better !!! But the song I still really love !!!

[@88hocker]

Lipa has to take dancing lessons.....

[@yossie718]

I just looked in to one of the people who commented that lipa should be ashamed. look in to their account on KZbin look at the videos they favored. They are talking.
