'DJ Kadhafi' creator takes on Israel's 'Bibi'



JERUSALEM- The DJ who remixed a rambling speech by Libya's Moamer Kadhafi with club beats that went viral on YouTube has taken on a new regional leader -- Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu, better known as "Bibi."
First Israeli musician and DJ Noy Alooshe transformed a 75-minute Kadhafi oration into a catchy dance track called "Zenga, Zenga," featuring the strongman alongside footage of a gyrating girl in hotpants.

This week it was the Israeli prime minister, whose slick 45-minute address to the US Congress won him more than 20 standing ovations -- and a YouTube remix called "Bi Bi Pro Americano."
Set to the uptempo track "We No Speak Americano" by Aussie band Yolanda Be Cool, the track plays on Netanyahu's statement that "Israel will always be pro-America."
It features a hall full of congressmen leaping to their feet every time the burly Israeli opens his mouth.
So far, the clip, which can be seen on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5lsbp7YmHI&feature=share has racked up nearly 45,000 views.
The Kadhafi remix became a huge hit in the Arab world despite its Israeli origins, and has been viewed more than 3.8 million times.
