One person once said he thought "Slabo" was a Hebrew word...

I have to check with some of the "Language guys" at the University of my town. I would have liked to hear Peter speak more about that particular song...
Hi

If 'slabo' is a Hebrew word, that would make a lot of sense, Peter being Jewish and all. Maybe there was an influence from Jane Samuels and her 'Jews for Jesus' Messianic Christianity stuff. She wrote all the lyrics for that album after all, so maybe 'Slabo Day' was her title. And Hebrew was influenced a lot by Eastern Europeans arriving in Israel after the war, so maybe there's a connection with Polish or something

Be sure to let us know if you discover the secret!
