Lyrics:
Is this the eighth night
We light with family?
Recall with great pride
Our escape from Greek tyranny?
Kindle the lights
Remember the Maccabees
How did those five boys
Lead us to victory?
Well, they stood up against mighty foes
With their oil running low
Now we sing while lights glow
Ma'oz tzur yeshuati
Yeshuati
Judah, our faith was banned
Evil Antiochus said
No more Torah could be read
Judah, Mattathias' son
You would not throw our heritage away
Judah...
(Nes gadol haya po)
Am Yisrael Chai
These miracles our people will recall
("Guitar" solo)
I spun a gimmel, now I've got a lot of gelt
Sevivon, sevivon, will you spin this clay dreidel?
Chanukiah lighting, presents are delighting me!
Chanukiah! Chanukiah!
Chanukah! Sevivon!
Sufganiyot!
I light the candles with people who love me
He lights the candles with his whole family
Sharing the joy of our proud history!
Sevivon, sov, sov, sov
More sufganiyot?
More latkes...
No!
Please more sufganiyot?
Sevivon!
More latkes...
Please more sufganiyot?
Sevivon!
More latkes...
Please more sufganiyot?
Sevivon!
More sufganiyot?
Spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning sevivon!
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo!
Oh aba, ema, aba, ema...
Aba, more sufganiyot?
We fry our food as we celebrate the Maccabees
We're free, we're free!
So you think you can serve latkes baked and not fried
But you know oil recalls those miraculous lights
Oh, bubbe
Can't do this to me, bubbe
Just gonna need more
Just gonna need more sour cream
Know what really matters
Like the Maccabees
Know what really matters
Thanks to G-d, our people are free

Wow this is the most positive comment section on a RUclips Jewish-related video
Funny i was just thinking the same thing! 😄
I am not Jewish, but I totally LOVED THIS!! I think that Freddie Mercury would be proud.
I dont think Freddie mercury would be proud. They stole his music and turned it into a relligioud song.... the Jewish faith le all Faith's hate and despise the LGBQ COMMUNITY. RELIGIONS ARE HATEFUL ORGANIZATIONS
Bohemian Chanukah, Bohemian Catsody, Bohemian Menopause, Bohemian Covid, yeah, I'd say he's proud up there in heaven!
We love you too
Same here. I'm sitting here wishing I had more Jewish friends to send this to!
And in Israel Freddie Mercury would have been allowed to be proud because nobody's going to throw him off a building for being gay
I watch this often. It is witty, humorous and incredibly well-sung. A true gem. I am forever amazed at the level of talent that exists.
I'm Black. I told a friend I'd made latkes "oven fried" to reduce fat intake and he set me straight. "NOT ON CHANUKAH. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE OIL!" I never did it again.
Even without knowing the Hebrew references, this song was a blast.
Happy Chanukah y'all.
Is you mentioning your race, trying to imply, you have no Jewish heritage?
I just want to make you aware, you can be 100% of Jewish heritage and be black, asian, hispanic, native american, etc. Just wanted to let you know :-)
It's just based off of your phrasing, the way you say it, makes it sound as if you're saying you're not Jewish by being black, correct me if I'm wrong, I could be misunderstanding. I'm just curious if maybe I completely misunderstood
Eating fats doesn't make you fat. Cheers!
Thanks for making the latkes any way you did! That was very kind and thoughtful of you! I am certain that they were delicious. Happy and healthy holidays to you and yours!
🤗😂
Hahaha, yep. The Greek religion emphasizes the peak male physical condition, so every year we celebrate besting the Greeks by eating the oiliest, most fattening fried food possible.
Okay, putting aside that this is an amazing Chanukah sing a long, putting aside that this is all a capella, this is actually probably the best cover of bohemian Rhapsody I have ever heard. Incredible singers, all of them!
totally agree...best cover ever of any song I've heard
WOWED!!!!
Hands down, this is the most creative parody of one of the most powerful songs of all time. Even more fascinating is the fact that the only instrument used in this remake, is the Vocal Chord!!
WOW x a bajillion. Way 2 go Six13. www.six13.com/about
I would have to agree. They did this well and, as someone who is not Jewish, I found this extremely educational!
Absolutely!
this is extremely well done, absolutely - but also take a look at Lake Street Dive's cover
You made Freddie Mercury proud, he would have loved this. The only thing missing for me is my wife who I lost earlier this year so she could’ve seen and heard it. A very Happy Hanukkah to all!
So sorry for your loss Larry. BDHE. May her memory be a blessing.
I'm sorry for your loss. I just lost my mom Saturday.
Oh she heard it for sure!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I'm sorry your wife passed away. May her memory be blessed. 💖
"So you think you can serve latkes baked and not fried" killed me! (3:15)
Just gonna need more
Just gonna need more
..soured cream.
Right?!!! I was almost crying when I heard that!
You know it's so funny, 40 years ago, it would have been the other way around, grandma! Why do you have to saturate everything in schmaltz!? Now, since all of us have Boomer grandmothers, who were around during the Crisco craze, and believe the very best thing for your heart is no fat at all, are now the ones saying no fat at all, regardless of the occasion
I have no religion. That made me smile. I am in the middle of an anxiety attack. Smiling is nearly impossible. Woah. A miracle.
May you find some rest in God. He says in 1 Peter 5 vs 7 "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you".
@Ginger I got the message, and learned quite a few things, but the presentation made me smile :)
@@yezithestar I appreciate the thought. Thank you.
@@contrafax Hang in there, Contrafax. Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but remember that you're not alone.
@@contrafax If you're anxious in this day and age when it looks like everybody is out for themselves and might just succeed in destroying the world, you must be sane!
Join the club!
Now, all you gotta do is to get to the other side alive!
Being Jewish..I want to add...this Parody is a REAL Masterpiece! I believe Freddie is laughing in Heaven! Shalom to All ~Lisa Kaplan Clow
I'm sure Freddie would love it!
Sis, this is so ding- dang brilliant that I have to have a big, juicy bite of funny and schamatty.
God bless you and Israel.
Yes Frebbie would be so proud B'H
Oh, did he die? I didn’t know. That’s sad.
IT IS NOT A PARODY..
I'm not Jewish and this still gave me goosebumps! How cool!
🤗
I've never been so proud to be converting
I hope not 😅
I'm Muslim! Am I allowed to love that? Couldn't help it, but I do!
Of course you can love it!
why not mate ... I'm Italian living in Ireland and a very bad Catholic and I like Crunchy Chickpeas ...
Don't let religion divide humanity. You can like whatever you want.
Love is for all, and it is eternal. Can I say the Prophet was worth following? He preached the One is the only one worthy of submitting to; Ha Shem is another way of honoring Him, you say Allah, and His name is always honored by the different languages that pronounce it. We are on the same side -- really, cousin.
As a Jew, I really enjoy nice compliments like yours.
Warmly,
Jew Muslim Christian ... We all come from father Abraham .. we are all brothers and sisters ... The rest is just political retoric which changes like the wind.
Thank you guys for making our Hanukkah extra special.
They should win a Grammy for the best air instrumentals of all time!!!
I am Christian but was married to a Jew. My son is Jewish and loves Queen so this is a must share with him. Chanukah to me is worth celebrating as it is remembering G-ds miracle and I encourages my wife to light the candles each day.
I'm a Christian convert but am married to a (secular) Jew, and he enjoys the candle-lighting and hearing the prayer. I also like to celebrate to honor God, my mother and my late grandparents. My mom loves Queen, and enjoyed all the Hebrew and Yiddish references packed into one of her favorite songs.
Since the original song was originally written by a Zoroastran that all makes sense.

LOVE SIX 13
I'm Christian and I love this. Mazel tov!
Mazel Tov!!!

same my teacher told me to watch this
It's as much part of Christian history too!
First chanukah without my dad...I wish he could have seen this.
Aw, I’m sure he has. I’m sorry to hear the news. 🙏
So sorry for your loss. The first holidays are difficult. I lost my dad five years ago and it's still hard.
May your father's memory be blessed 😢
Condolences on the loss of your dad. May YHWH, blessed be His Name, bring you together for another Chanukkah, amein.
ShaWA1 This is my 5th Hanukkah without my dad, and Hanukkah (the 7th candle)will be forever his memorial day. Be strong and only time and more time will bring some peace and less pain into your heart. Hag Urim Sameach.
I wish I could like this again and again for 8 straight nights.
I love how people who are of different faiths and religions still like the cover of this song and understand almost none of it. Love to all, happy Hanukkah everyone.
🤗
🤣🤣 I'm not and never have been Jewish, don't understand many of the references, and I'm still rolling on the floor!
This is AWESOME! I'm not Jewish, but I understand the vast majority of the references. 💕
He shaved himself a Freddie mustache- I admire the dedication!
Lol- I got all the chanuka references and almost none of the queen ones. Didn’t understand the shaving part….. it’s all in the culture you know
Happy Hanukkah for all of you! 🕎🇮🇱
Thank you
No problem! 👍😉

Thank you man
This is the second Chanukah that have listened to this "Queen " adaptation. It's brilliantly sung!
That was the sexiest damn Jewish music video I've ever seen! Genius, and moving! I'm crying!
I’m not Jewish but I loved this...it even taught me what some of the stuff done during Hanukah means...very positive, very very cool. I shared with by the way...lol.
We really need to see more like this...it’s an adult way to learn lol.
May these men be blessed with good health, Happiness & much success! I laughed, I cried, I loved
Wow. What an emotional rollercoaster you are! Chag same'ach
Wow wow WOW! I'm speechless by what I just saw.
By far, the best make-over of Queen's MASTERPIECE! Well done guys 👏
@@deksk8z I'm proud of them as well
I wouldn't say best makeover, Panic At the Disco's live performance was pretty extraordinary, The Muppet's version was pretty legendary as well, but definitely very exceptionally well done and very talented none-the-less.
Best Jewish adaptation of a pop song ever!
Oh, that put a huge smile on my face!!!
This made me smile ear to ear. And I am a Greek.
Amazing! I'm not Jewish & don't understand half the references, but it doesn't matter. Anyone can admire the fun video humor, exquisite harmony, timing, & lyrics that scan perfectly. 5/5, have already recommended & listened again! ;-)
Cool :) Happy holidays
Oh and "Oy vey" is Yiddish = "Oh G-d."
Check out Mayim Bialik's youtube vid on Passover. You'll get all of it in about 5 minutes or so:-)
Oops I meant Hannukah
@@ChriseyApple I checked out her video. Awesome! Thanks!
חג חנוכה שמח לכולם
Gam lecha, amigo!
ךםך
חג שמח!!
Teniente Ramíres 🙏... ☕️ 🧁 🍷. Let there be light and miracles , happy and healthy Chanukah 🕎
חנוכה שמח! אני עולה חדשה וזאת פעם ראשונה כשאני חוגגת החג הזה בישראל. אני מאוד אוהבת אותו!
I'm not Jewish - - - but I'm a musician . Great Music . And I like Queen
"613" ....... I reckon I must have missed one of those "613" somehow, you know, the commandment that must have said ............ "You will SING!!!", ........ because by the heck fellers, I've not come across brilliant singing like that for a heck of a long time. You lot are, in my book, incredible!..... An absolute pleasure to listen to. HaShem has definitely blessed you wth some incredible voices. All I can say is a huge "thank you" for an excellent performance and G-d bless you always.......... Shalom & Am Israel Chai !!!! .... Keith, UK ... :)
I've been working in radio for the last 30-years. This is simply AMAZING! Great job gang!
BRILLIANT! OUTSTANDING! LIGHT THE LIGHTS!
After researching/ learning the true pagan history of "Christ-mass", me & my house will celebrate Hannukah with you joyfully. Praise be to our Lord God 💕🎶🌷🙏😘
This is the best Hanukkah parody of all time hands down, no competition.
You guys are just spectacular! Mazel Tov!
This should go viral and I will help it do just that! Happy Hanukkah!
I have NEVER seen ya'll out perform, out create, or out sing the Maccabeats, but ya'll totally did all three this year!! The bass note @4:29 ROCKED MY SOCKS OFF and the Freddie Mercury mustache showed an incredible amount of dedication and was SPOT ON!!!!!!! Chag Sameach Chanukkah!!!!!
Happy Hanukkah
I love this so much, on so many levels. It's hard to choose a favorite aspect of this, yet my absolute favorite part has GOT to be these wonderful, inspired, hilarious lyrics:
"So you think you can serve latkes baked and not fried!
Don't you know oil recalls those miraculous liiiiiights?
Oooooh, Bubbe!
Can't do this to me, Bubbe!
Just gonna need more,
Just gonna need more sour cream!"
LOVE IT.
I'm sure you've heard this many times, but your efforts are pure genius. What a fantastic way to celebrate your beautiful faith. Kudos and Happy Hanukkah to you and your families.
Came for humor. Stayed because this is just an amazing cover.
STELLAR PERFORMANCE! CHAG CHANUKAH SAMEACH TO EVERYONE!!!
You are so amazing!
Happy Hanukkah
from Belgium
🕎✡️
I’ve got tears in my eyes, this is the most beautiful, most Jewish thing I’ve ever seen!
Miracles do exist! Wonderful song! Am Yisrael Chai!
No u
Blown away by this amazing performance. "Know what really matters?" Yes - joyfulness, meaning, creativity, talent. Doggone, you guys are good!!!!!!
This is specially important to me as my Jewish great grandmother, who escaped Prague in 1896, died in Newark New Jersey. Of the Spanish flu in 1918.
Stunning performance. Wow. Thank you!!! Happy Hanukkah! :)
Superb! This is now officially my favorite Chanukah song. Bravo!
I’ve watched this like seven times now and sent it to my Bubbe
For those who don't know...bubbe is grandmother.
Bubbe isn’t in Hebrew grandma is savta not bubbe
It’s Yiddish which nobody uses anymore and I think it’s very rare to find anyone who actually says bubbe
I say bubby
Ich veis Yiddish
God given talent for sure.
Happy Hanukkah 🕎 everyone. With love from 🇵🇷
Okay, growing out the facial hair for the Freddy Mercury moustache... that's freaking dedication to the parody!
This has nothing to do with u. Keep out.
Bcha 100 You don’t know me from Adam. I am free to compliment my friend’s music video so perhaps you are the one who needs to keep out.
Yep He shaved his beard as a dedication to this parody.
Who let you idiots in ? Be ashamed.
Thank you for this wondrous gift! Such a perfect moment of joy. So rich with Queen, so full of Chanukah, together, the light is magnified!
Watching this for the first time on the third night of Hanukkah 2021. My 6-year-old son started dancing to it.
“Can’t do this to me bubbe!” 🤣
I'm a great fan of Queen so usually I don't like it when any one mess with there songs but you did a great job with respect for the original song. Love this so much, thanks for this great chanukah song :-)
This is so good! Every English speaking Jew should see this
Very well done!
A terrific cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. Great singing and the air instruments make me smile . . . .
I cant even believe how good it was today is Chanukah and this is what showed up speechless good job
This shiksa grew up in East Meadow, and I love this video! I'm sending it to all my Jewish friends, who will all find is as funny and enjoyable as I do. Gut yuntuf!
Shiksa? Shiksa, my tukhes
Despite having grown up among Jewish neighbors, my ancestry is completely WASP.
This Jew"ish" gal grew up in Merrick...and my inner music nerd and dad jokes soft spot love this in equal amounts. 🤓🎶🤘
Goy is actually a neutral word that means Nation. But do not call urself a Shiksa. It means a female abomination. The famous verse at the end of the Book of Daniel prophetically calls the setting up of the Golden Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mt., Shikuts haShomeim, the Abomination that makes Desolate. Don't even jokingly call yourself a Shiksa.
It's so well done - all the jokes fit into the structure of the original song so cleverly!
This is absolutely incredible. The best interpretation I’ve ever heard after the original.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
Simply amazing everyone!!!! Happy Hanukkah!!!חנוכה שמח
Eliwood Starlaf חג שמח
The lircs are a perfect balance of depth and juvealness.
Truly enjoyed this.....I’m Christian but have a lot of Jewish friends...sent to Facebook.....
To bad I can only like this once....
Terry Long once a year, at least
Context aside for a second, religion and everything else,
Their vocal ability is absolutely stunning
Queen would be proud
I know a good chunk of it is really not related to religion, and related to frustrations of generation differences LOL
In case you happen to not catch it, the whole thing about the baked vodkas that are not fried needing more sour cream? That's in reference to boomers still holding on to their diet philosophies from the 70s and '80s, the concept that fat is bad, especially animal fats, and then so they try every attempt to be so-called healthy, regardless of how extreme and illogical their measures are to being healthy, to the point of basically ruining one of your favorite holiday foods lol. Think if your baby boomer Grandma decided to drain all of the pork fat out of the ham? And decided that the gravy had to be made with some sort of low sodium recipe, and it ends up just tasting like water? Imagine how disappointing that would be LOL. Or the Christmas cookies being extremely dry because she found some recipe from 30 years ago for fat-free Christmas cookies?
That's what the lot goes they're talking about is like. You can definitely make good baked latkas, but it's implied that, she's not just an old Boomer who's following old diet fads, and applying it like it's absolute truth and even needs to be applied to an occasional holiday treat, but also is awful at executing that alternative, because also at the time that a lot of these new dietary restrictions were becoming known, between the 60s and '80s, the recipes to accommodate them were absolutely horrendous, and that's what they are referring to and that's why it's so funny
There are so many parodies of Bohemian Rhapsody but this one is my favourite. So well done!
How am I just now seeing this? This was freakn' awesome!
Brilliant!
The Lord and Freddie both love this.
This is awesome!!!! Finally a good hanukkah song
Destined to be a classic!! Awesome!!! One of the best ever!
Best a cappella song I've ever heard!
Taking one of my all time favourite songs and giving it a Chanukah spin!!!! Amazing
Woooooooo!!!! Yeah!! Yes!! THAT IS HOW ITS DONE! BOOM!! 😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏
If this doesn’t channel the spirit of a smiling Freddie Mercury, nothing ever will.
Love all of you!
A masterpiece six13 happy hanukkah
Bloody BRILLIANT !
Todah rabah, guys!
This is a masterpiece, those voices honor the original song and tell the story of the Maccabees, explaining the meaning of Hannukkah marvelously... This filled my soul, thanks
So well written. So well sung. Great job!
This completely blew me away. Amazing talent! Binge watching their videos now
I've got goosebumps! Simply AWESOME.
I’m Israeli and this is the most awesome thing I have ever heard
WOW!!! You guys are AMAZING!!! I listened to this 3 times before I realized (or actually read) that "All Six13 songs are created with nothing but the human voice." I have a human voice AND I'm a singer and you have totally blown me away! I don't usually comment but I just had to. You are brilliant! Thank you for creating this. I look forward to more.
Outstanding!!! Chag Sameach!!!
This production has raised the bar for adaptation of pop music to Chanukah by an order of magnitude!! In fact it qualifies as a terrific cover of the original song!! Hands down, the absolute best! Mazel Tov to Six13!!
This is world class!
Bravo !!!!! Super. So Talanted. Toda
WOW AMAZING!!! I posted this on the largest Facebook group of English teachers in Israel. Be sure your video will be shown in hundreds of schools in Israel tomorrow :-)
Deep down I think the reason that a handful of people disliked the song was because THE LYRICS ACTUALLY MAKES MORE SENSE THAN THE SONG IT PARODIES.
Even besides the deep spiritual joy and shining message, this video would still be worth it just for the heartfelt jubilant air guitar mastery.
You guys knocked it out of the park with this one! Well done! Loved it!
I felt I was Jewish for 5 delightful minutes
You were, Shweetheart. You were .
Lol. Happy holidays
AGREE! ❤
Goodness, me too.
Must be horrible eh...
I can't get over how genius this is and how talented this group is. It's amazing. Love you guy's
Mushlam. Perfecto. Wow. Bravo! Kol Hakavod!
