The 22 Best Hanukkah Parodies You Need To Watch ASAP

Hanukkah Fun

Did you know that many of the best Christmas songs were composed by Jews? I bet you didn't. "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Let It Snow", "Santa Baby" are just a few of the songs that Jewish composers wrote. Since it's time for the holidays, I decided to come up with a top list of the best Chanukah songs. You'll soon see why Chanukah song parodies are better than the much over-played Christmas songs.

1. "Latke Recipe" by The Maccabeats (parody of "Shut Up and Dance")

2. "Candlelight" by The Maccabeats (parody of "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz)

3. "I Light It" NCSY Chanukah Musical Remix by Six13 (parodies of "Baby" by Justin Bieber, "Heartless" by Kanye West, and "I Like It" by Enrique Iglesias)

4. "All About That Neis" by The Maccabeats (parody of All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor)

5. "Chanukah Shake It Off" by Six13 (parody of Shake It Off by Taylor Swift)

6. "Watch Me Spin Drey-Drey" Chanukah Jam by Six13 (parody of "Watch Me" by Silento, "Hotline Bling" by Drake, "Flika Da Wrist" by Cheddar Da Connect)

7. "A One Direction Hanukkah Epic Parody Mashup" by MJE (parodies of "Perfect", "Live While We're Young", "Story Of My Life", "Drag Me Down", "Best Song Ever")

8. "All I Want For Christmas Is Jews" by Jenny Hall (parody of "All I Want For Christmas is You by Mariah Carey)

9. "Black and Jewish" by Funny Or Die (parody of "Black and Yellow" by Wiz Khalifa)

10. "Rolling In The Deep Chanukkah/Hanukah Song" by Ash Soular (parody of "Rolling In The Deep" by Adele)

11. "Chanukah Song" by Adam Sandler (from his movie Eight Crazy Nights) and yes, Adam Sandler is Jewish!

12. "Fancy Chanukah/Hanukah Parody" by Ash Soular (parody of "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea)

13. "Hanukah Favorite Time of Year" by Too $hort

14. "Hanukkah Oh Hanukkah" different artists have versions of this song. It wouldn't be Hanukkah without adding in this classic song.

15. "I Have A Little Driedel" different artists sing this song, too

16. "S'vivon Sov Sov Sov" original by Julie Silver but this version is better.

17. "Chanukah Jewish Rock Of Ages Official Hanukkah Song" by Lenny Solomon (parody of "Twist and Shout", "Stayin Alive", "Great Balls of Fire", "Born To Be Wild", "Don't Stop Believing", "Can't Touch This", "Move It-Move It", "Move Like Jagger")

18. "Chanukah Light" by Ari Goldwag

19. "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Hanukkah" by Brennen Tyler (parody of "It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas")

20. "Eight Nights Hanukkah Mashup" by Standfour (parody of "Some Nights" by Fun, "Die Young" by Ke$ha, "Live While We're Young" by One Direction)

21. "Happy Hanukkah official video new song" by Matisyahu

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

3. Distracted: When a 10-Minute Break Becomes an Hour

4. When the Yearning for Sleep Sneaks Up

5. In the words of Lorelai Gilmore "Coffee, Coffee, Coffee"

Oh, so done.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

What does the world outside the library look like?

Can I read this entire book tonight?

I should have gone to class more often.

Did the professor even teach this?

What is the lowest grade I can get on this exam and still pass the class?

Should I just drop out of school now?

Finals are ruining Christmas.

Just wrote three sentences so time for a break.

Need. More. Coffee.

What is sleep?

I'm too stupid for college.

Brain hurts.

Time for a Facebook Break.

I think I'm dying.

When will I ever need this information in the real world?

I can't read any of my notes.

I need my mom.

When was the last time I showered?

I need study snacks.

The struggle is so real right now.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

1. I'm so tired. I need a nap. Maybe I can sleep with my eyes open in class? Or pretend I'm not napping?

2. We have a test today? Why didn't anyone tell me? Did I know this?!

3. Can I quit school yet? It's only October, and I need a vacation.

4. The struggle is so real.
