Parodies are a guilty pleasure and the work of Jewish a cappella group Six13 definitely has audiences slyly smiling along.
Premiering on TIME.com, the annual video by the group mashed together Silentó’s “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” and Drake’s “Hotline Bling” with a Hanukkah theme. Naturally, the song is called “Watch Me (Spin/Drey Drey).”
The lyrics are exactly what you’d think they’d be:
Now watch me spin
I spin my drey-drey
Now watch me spin
Shin, nun, gimmel, hay-hay
I light that wick
Lehadlik nay-nay
Because that oil lasted
For eight day-daysWe’re making latkes, I can smell those
And sometimes it’s sufganiyah
Light them candles in the window
For eight nights cause it’s Chanukah
Al Hanissim we will sing
For those miracles that God did bring
Ma’oz Tzur we’re gonna sing
Cause we didn’t listen to the king
My menorah’s looking pretty
Last year’s Hanukkah video from Six13 was a parody of Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off.” Time to get in the holiday spirit!
