The Secret, Untold Story of "Gangsta Dreidel"
Categories: It's Still Hanukkah, Bitches
We're still smack in the middle of Hanukkah. I know this because Yo La Tengo still has a few of their annual Hanukkah gigs over at Maxwell's to go. And also because people I know on Facebook and Twitter--like they do around this time every year--continue to post this video (typically titled something like "Hanukkah Rap" or "Gangsta Dreidel" and whatnot over on YouTube), usually adding something like "Holy shit, this is the best Hanukkah song of all time!" or citing the immortal opening line: "Back up motherfucker, Hanukkah's here!"
