This month lost its compass, at eight

Because of the moon and the equinox
Passover came a little late
Then, my semicentennial,
A week early we'll celebrate

1. jib jab - Matzah (1:22)

Easter is a weird holiday that depends on the tilt of the earth and the phase of the moon. Because two things happened at once, it came early. Passover happened when it should have.

4. Moses - Ten Commandments - Mel Brooks (1:09)

One thing I like about tonight's classic piece is you're supposed to play a record at one point.  While that may sound very modern, the record in question is one of the earliest recordings.
