Here at NYU Local, we love Jews. We also love Adam Sandler. But most importantly, we like amatuer holiday parodies. Here’s one. Enjoy.
Take some shots of vodakah, here comes Hanukkah
Its so much fun-akkah at NYU for Hanukkah,
So you’re at college for the festival of lights,
Instead of any presents, you have eight crazy nights…of finals.
So if you’re the only NYU kid
without a stocking on your door,
here are NYU people who are Jewish
who you didn’t know befooooore
Amanda Sarah doesn’t promote on Friday night
Max Wieseltier comes over to party and Menorah light
Zoe and Myles, EICs with Local pith,
schedule 8 crazy posts of Jew cat pix and dreidal .gifs
Bob Dylan was Jewish; Gene Simmons is too
They didn’t go to NYU, but they’re pretty cool Jews!
You can forget plastic Santas or yule log fire
Cause you can eat latkes with Bobcat and Housie McGuire (both Jewish!)
Put on your yarmulkah, it’s time for Hanukkah,
Elmer Holmes Bobst hates everyone who celebrates Hanukkah.
John Sexton is not a Jew, but he’s still pretty cool
Guess who might be: the drummer from A Beacon School (they’re performing!)
We got Jonathan Safran Foer who writes books for money
For Hanukkah he got a freshman sentimental bunnies!
Jews with Violet diplomas in their portfolios:
Mike Wazowski and the guy who cured polio!
So many Jews are in the politics biz —
Jimmy McMillian isn’t, but El Bloombito definitely is.
Tell the Friends star Monica, it’s time to celebrate Hanukkah
Buy your aunt a japonica as a present for Hanukkah.
To Brad’s for gin-and-tonic-ah, and give Ricky some marajuanic-ah,
If you really, really wanna-kah, have a happy, happy, happy, happy Hanukkah.
