I flip my latkes in the air sometimes
At the latke party tonight, I was wondering why they were playing “Dynamite,” by Taio Cruz, a popular song with a catchy tune that I hear on the radio now and then.
And then I listened closer to the lyrics and realized that it was not exactly the same song.
Turns out it was a song called “Candlelight,” by a group called The Maccabeats—an a cappella group from Yeshiva University. It's a Hanukkah song to the tune of “Dynamite.”
Fun and (of course) catchy. You can watch the video (4 min) on YouTube, and/or buy the song for a dollar at the iTunes Store.
The video has gone viral, with over a million views so far, so I imagine a bunch of you have seen it already, but since I had never heard of it until tonight, figured it was worth passing along.
Happy Hanukkah!
