- 2000, Shlomi Shabat feat. Gidi Gov, “What does he do for her?” (song):
  ⁧ומדי ערב כשהם הולכים אל הירקון / אנו בלי הרף כאן מציצים מן הבלקון / ובחרוק שיניים מתבוננים בשניים / אך כמו תמיד איזה קיר או איזה עץ מסתיר, שמסתיר, שמסתיר, שמסתיר, שמסתיר.⁩
  And every evening, when they're walking to the Yarkon / We are always here spying from the balcony / And watching the two of them with clenched teeth, / But there is always some wall or some tree blocking the view, that is blocking the view, that is blocking the view, that is blocking the view, that is blocking the view.
