It is interesting how such a thing would never go now, as mainstream Judaism moves more to the right and as society becomes more aware of safety etc.

Examples, country yossi doesnt seem to have a wife yet is very interested in kids and always has kids in his house
He threatens to potch tuki
He calls kayli my sweet little angel kayli

Besides, kivi & tuki are ficticious characters...

He does have a song about safety that I like.
Honestly leaving your kids in a different galaxy for 5 years with a single guy so you can go to a wedding isn’t a good idea LOL

She is talking about the fictional Country Yossi alter ego from the Kivi and Tuki CDs.

I absolutely love the new songs he just released ! my kids are super sheltered chassidish/yeshivish. If there was a replace for him I would buy. I let them listen because he's #1 in creativity and imagination. I'm not interested in another historical fiction cd or a story about someone's day.

There’s a new album that was released in 2024. It’s more with the times.

As others have said, it reflects the era they were created in. Think of some of his non-kivi-tuki albums, 'and then he potched me' I think is the one that stands out the most. 'peel one more potato' is totally satirical but obviously wouldn't fly in today's society.
I don't think country yossi not having a wife and being interested in kids is any different to any other kid series where there's an adult and lots of children. There's a lot of tv and book series that have such a plot.

Lol, I always wondered how they had time to drop them off before the wedding, why it didn't take 5 years to do that, but that it would take 5 years to get back. And were there really no babysitters on their home planet?

This is the first couple of verses

Peel one more potato for the kugel
Wash my Tzitzis and hang them out to dry
Dust my Shas and bake some Shabbos challahs
Clean the house and then prepare my tie, come on Yentel, you can
Wash the floor, then fill the tub with water
Cook the fish, then bring me a cup of tea
So, peel one more potato for the kugel, schnell,
Then come and tell me why you’re leavin’ me.

Well, don’t I bless your children every Shabbos
Don’t I warn you when you’re gettin’ fat
Ain’t I gonna take you with me to Israel someday
Well, a man can’t treat his wife much better than that, come on, Yentel
Don’t I always say hello to your mother
And don’t I bring you flowers once a year
You should be thankful, my dear wife, for this warm and happy life
So why do you keep moaning, vei is mir.

You do realise that these songs are satirical versions of 1950s/60s popular music (secular)?
And satirize chariedi lifestyle as was in 1980s etc?

Best enjoyed by the BT movement of 1970 and 80s, who grew up with these songs IRL.
