A New Chanukah Music Video From The Maccabeats - "The Latke Recipe"
In 2010 The Maccabeats, an a cappella group from Yeshiva University, released their first Hanukkah music video, Candlelight, and every Hanukkah (and other holidays) since then we've seen many more videos by them and lots of other groups.
Originally formed in 2007 as Yeshiva University’s student vocal group, the Maccabeats have recently emerged as both Jewish music and a cappella phenomena, with a large fan base, more than 20 million views on YouTube, numerous TV appearances, and proven success with three albums, 2010′s Voices From The Heights, 2012′s Out Of The Box and 2014′s One Day More.
Many of the songs are parodies of pop hits and The Maccabeats' latest is no exception. The Latke Recipe is a parody of the pop song "Shut Up And Dance" originally performed by Walk the Moon, a song that has 143 million views on YouTube since it was posted in October 2014.
Enjoy!
