I’m not going to show the video of the new Orrin Hatch Hanukkah song, because that’s just overexposed. Same goes for Adam Sandler, of course. Neil Diamond’s cover of Adam Sandler less so, but I just dunno. Sarah Silverman’s “Give the Jew Girl Toys” is inappropriate for a family blog. My favorite Hanukkah song is the Barenaked Ladies’ “Hanukkah Blessings,” but the only videos I can find of it are of the Rock Band version, some kid who can’t really sing (although he seems nice enough), and a guy named Wilkie in an old folks home.

Which leaves me, perhaps just because I’m a goy and don’t know enough good Hanukkah songs, with the Klezmatics singing some Woody Guthrie:
