MELVILLE, New York — As we celebrate the 8th day of Chanukkah, many of us still have dreidel songs spinning in our heads. But some of us have other more recent Chanukah songs on replay that add another level of fun to the holiday. Many are spoof songs based on famous pop music, such as “Bohemian Chanukah” by Six13, and The B-Boyz song “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Dreidel)” which is based on the The Beastie Boys’ song “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!).”
There is also a growing list of new and enjoyable Chanukkah songs, the most famous of which is Adam Sandler’s “The Chanukah Song.” Others include “Candlelight” by the Maccabeats, “Hanukkah (Favorite Time Of The Year)” by rapper Too $hort, “Happy Joyous Hanuka” by the Klezmatics, and “8 Days (of Hanukkah)” by Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings.
There is one Chanukah song by a New York rock band, the LeeVees, which somehow manages to work what unexpected words into the lyrics?
A. Solipsism and oligarchy.
B. Bouillabaisse and epistemology.
C. Insouciant and onomatopoeia.
D. Syllogism and perspicacious.
E. Antidisestablishmentarianism and hot dogs.
