Poll
(I thought about adding another option that says hamentaschen, but if that's your preference, I don't want to know you.)
I have not been searching youtube for Hanukkah song videos instead of writing, but if I were, I would link to:
The YU Maccabeats singing such a good Maoz Zur (and subsequent medley) acapella. God, I wish we had acapella groups here. Harmonies! They are so pretty.
This medley of Hanukkah songs which is from a videotape of Uzi Hitman (wow, does that name sound violent in English) and Hani Nahmias singing Hebrew children's holiday songs. 90% of the holiday songs I know are from watching this tape year round until I was like 9.
This video of the Parpar Nehmad ("Nice Butterfly") Hanukkah party in the holiday episode of, say, 1988. This is what growing up here in the '80s was like. At 00:57, Effi asks the puppets, "Have you ever seen candles dance?". "Candles can dance?" Batz the turtle asks her. "Yes," she nods. "If you help them, they can." When she lifts up those candles and sings, I swear to you, I thought that was the prettiest thing in the entire world.
(Only three more days of potential Hanukkah spamming and then I'm done, I promise.)
ETA: I can't believe I made that poll either/or instead of ticky boxes. I don't know which to choose.
