The Chanukah Collection, Six13 (self-issued)

six13chanukah.jpgSomehow missed this one in 2020, and in actuality I've missed out on these guys for many more years than that, as they've been around for quite some time entertaining audiences with their a capella takes on the various aspects of the Jewish religious experience as filtered through the wider popular culture. "A Star Wars Chanukah" takes off from the main theme of the beloved sci-fi franchise, "A Hamilton Chanukah" draws from the popular hip-hop musical, "Chanukah (Shake It Off)" parodies Taylor Swift, "Watch Me (Spin / Drey Drey)" is a parody of a song by Lina, and "The Thanksgivukkah Anthem" is a song about the convergence of Hanukkah with Thanksgiving. Also in this collection is the almost inevitable "Bohemian Chanukah" parody of Queen, a bit of self-promotion in "A Nice Jewish Boy Band Chanukah," and "Feliz Chanukah," taking off from the Jose Feliciano classic. Remaining tunes appear to be modern upbeat takes on Jewish folk tunes, but for those of you who go for this sort of a capella entertainment, grab on and don't let go. They have a bunch of albums with Hanukkah tunes spread throughout them, but I'm going to call attention to 2019's Volume 8: Lights, which has the very timely "West Side Chanukah," see below.
