Rockin’ Hanukah Funtime
On a recent weekend afternoon, the fam and I were kickin’ it to Mama Doni’s “I Love Herring (& Other Fish Shticks For Kids)” and no joke, at several moments throughout the CD we were all laughing out loud. The lyrics are all very catchy, and Mama Doni takes on music styles from rock to reggae to “Jewgrass”.
Now Mama Doni has released a mini-CD of Hanukah songs, aptly named “I Love Chanukah!” featuring the songs “Latke Man”, “La Vida Dreidel” (my favorite), and “You Say Hanukah (I Say Chanukah)”. There’s also a music video for the fourth track, “The Funky Gold Menorah”, on YouTube. Listen as Mama Doni spreads around some challah-day spirit in her inimitable cross between Sheryl Crow and Tone Loc:
For the month of December you can download all of “I Love Chanukah!” FOR FREE! Also, check out Mama Doni live on December 25th at The Jewish Museum’s Family Day.
