Here's my latest post on the Jewish Techs blog for The Jewish Week
If you haven't received an email or Facebook message in the past week with the link to the Maccabeats video of "Candlelight", you might want to check that your computer is actually plugged in.
The Yeshiva University a capella group's video parody of Taio Cruz's song "Dynamite" (based on Mike Thompkins' a capella version) has gone viral surpassing 1.5 million views on YouTube and even landed them an appearance on NBC's Today Show. Now, the group is campaigning to get an invitation to the Colbert Show (add your voice here).
If you're looking for additional fun videos besides the "Candlelight" video, check out these Hanukkah videos:
MATISYAHU ON ICE ("MIRACLE")
HONIKA ELECTRONIKA (BY SMOOTH-E)
ERRAN BARON COHEN (SACHA'S BROTHER) SINGS "DREIDEL"
HOMEBOY HANUKKAH
(Warning: Strong language and references give this video a PG-13 rating)
NBA PLAYERS WISH FANS A HAPPY HANUKKAH (BY ELIE SECKBACH)
NEFESH B'NEFESH HANUKKAH ("8 DAYS" TO MATISYAHU'S "ONE DAY")

ReplyDeleteA few years ago I linked to a great animated video that had images and the words and screen and made the "How Do You Spell Channukkahh" song fun and easy to follow. The live version is a bit hard to hear. (http://rabbifleischmann.blogspot.com/2007/12/shoshana-told-me-while-ago-how-to-post.html)
ReplyDeleteThe bad news is that it's not available via that link anymore. The good news is that it's on the LeeVees site and can be viewed in full screen by clicking to the right of the volume and left of the brand name Vimeo:
