Hatikva 6 Teams Up With Tamir Bar and Ravid Plotnik for “Makat Zikna”
The song brings together Hatikva 6 frontman Omri Glikman, Bar in his familiar “Saba Uri” character from Eretz Nehederet, and Plotnik, who also took part in the writing and musical direction of the track.
Hatikva 6 has released “Makat Zikna,” a new single from the album Vayehi Or, featuring Tamir Bar and Ravid Plotnik.
The song brings together Hatikva 6 frontman Omri Glikman, Bar in his familiar “Saba Uri” character from Eretz Nehederet, and Plotnik, who also took part in the writing and musical direction of the track.
“Makat Zikna” is built around the small signs of aging that begin to appear after 40: white hairs, blood tests, back pain, driving glasses, tiredness, TikTok confusion and the general realization that the body no longer responds as quickly as it once did.
The lyrics lean heavily into self-deprecating humor, with lines about fainting during squats and needing a hip replacement after climbing more than four stairs. Rather than treating aging seriously, the song turns it into a shared joke, making the frustration feel familiar and light.
The music video continues the same comic tone. Instead of a standard performance clip, it plays more like a sketch, with Saba Uri pulling the band into the world of older adulthood. The clip includes retirement-home-style settings, living room parties, exaggerated dancing and intentionally awkward situations.
Ravid Plotnik fits naturally into the video, adding to the relaxed and comic feel of the collaboration. His presence alongside Bar and Glikman gives the song a loose, playful energy and helps keep the clip from feeling like a one-joke concept.
The strength of “Makat Zikna” is that it does not try to hide the aging process or dress it up as something dramatic. It simply laughs at it. Hatikva 6, Tamir Bar and Ravid Plotnik take the aches, habits and small humiliations of getting older and turn them into a catchy, funny and easygoing song.
The result is one of the more entertaining recent collaborations in Israeli music, combining a radio-friendly track with a video that feels closer to a comedy sketch than a traditional single release.
