Today’s song is “Latke Clan” by The LeeVees from their album Hanukkah Rocks
I complained yesterday about the lack of good Chanukah music. But, in fact, there are some great Chanukah songs. Just to prove it, I”ll post one for each night of Chanukah, along with a haiku (of course) somewhat related to the song. All but today’s will be in video form – unfortunately I couldn’t find a decent online video version for today’s song.
Enjoy … and Chag Chanukah Sameach
Today’s song is a rocking version of the Chanukah blessings from the album Barenaked for the Holidays

Senator Orrin Hatch, a Mormon, has written a Chanukah song. Maybe you’ll enjoy it, but personally I’m not so excited. I hope it’s not politics affecting my musical critique, but it’s almost like he wrote this just to remind us that Christmas songs are so much better than what we have for Chanukah. They get “White Christmas”, written by a Jew … we get this, written by a Mormon.
