Details.
Wiki.
Schlager (Hebrew: שלאגר), or The Hit, is a 1979 Israeli comedy musical film. The script, lyrics writer and film director was Assi Dayan, the music was written by Svika Pick, and the stars were HaGashash HaHiver (The Trackers) trio. Compared to other projects of Dayan, Pick or The Trackers, this film did not sell well and did not take central place in the Israeli culture. However, one of its songs, "Shir Ha'frecha" ("The Bimbo Song"), performed by Ofra Haza, became Haza's signature song.
