    It's in Hebrew. It's a song/prayer about making a match, and finding a wife.

    The guy in a wig is supposed to be a girl. They're on a "shidduch date" where they are set up, to see if they want to get married.

    She's very talkative and boring. She slaps him for some reason, and the date is wholy unsuccessful.

    The words of the song are (roughly):

    If it be Your will, G-d, G-d king of the Universe, G-d of our fathers, find in Your large compassion, Your large loving kindness, find my true match, at the right time, so we can have righteous children.... Amen.

    "Zivug" is match/soulmate in Hebrew.

    Despite the all-guy cast, it's supposed to be heterosexual. Really.

    it's hebrew in the most ashkenazi-yiddishi-american accent i've ever heard in my life.

    that's why it sounds like yiddish.
