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

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.
Wow this is the most positive comment section on a TH-cam 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
They should win a Grammy for the best air instrumentals of all time!!!
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
I'm not Jewish and this still gave me goosebumps! How cool!
🤗
"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
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. 💖
Thank you guys for making our Hanukkah extra special.
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.
I've never been so proud to be converting
I hope not 😅
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!
I wish I could like this again and again for 8 straight nights.
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..
This is the second Chanukah that have listened to this "Queen " adaptation. It's brilliantly sung!
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. 💕
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
Oh, that put a huge smile on my face!!!
This made me smile ear to ear. And I am a Greek.
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
That was the sexiest damn Jewish music video I've ever seen! Genius, and moving! I'm crying!
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.
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 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
You guys are just spectacular! Mazel Tov!
This should go viral and I will help it do just that! Happy Hanukkah!
I've been working in radio for the last 30-years. This is simply AMAZING! Great job gang!
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!
I'm not Jewish - - - but I'm a musician . Great Music . And I like Queen
You are so amazing!
Happy Hanukkah

Thank you man
"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 ... :)
This is the best Hanukkah parody of all time hands down, no competition.
Came for humor. Stayed because this is just an amazing cover.
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! :)
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.
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
BRILLIANT! OUTSTANDING! LIGHT THE LIGHTS!
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.
God given talent for sure.
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!
Blown away by this amazing performance. "Know what really matters?" Yes - joyfulness, meaning, creativity, talent. Doggone, you guys are good!!!!!!
Best Jewish adaptation of a pop song ever!
Happy Hanukkah 🕎 everyone. With love from 🇵🇷
Superb! This is now officially my favorite Chanukah song. Bravo!
Miracles do exist! Wonderful song! Am Yisrael Chai!
No u
Very well done!
Watching this for the first time on the third night of Hanukkah 2021. My 6-year-old son started dancing to it.
Simply amazing everyone!!!! Happy Hanukkah!!!חנוכה שמח
Eliwood Starlaf חג שמח
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
How am I just now seeing this? This was freakn' awesome!
Best a cappella song I've ever heard!
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 :-)
I cant even believe how good it was today is Chanukah and this is what showed up speechless good job
Brilliant!
A terrific cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. Great singing and the air instruments make me smile . . . .
Amazing!
From israel!
ממש מגניב!
מישהו מישראל?
Sheish 13 or 613 since there are 6 performers and 613 mitzvot in the Torah
@@dovbarleib3256 id understand what u r talking about
יאפ
כמובן יש מישראל
אני לא ישראלית, אבל אני יכולה לדבר עברית. חנוכה שמח!
The lircs are a perfect balance of depth and juvealness.
This is absolutely incredible. The best interpretation I’ve ever heard after the original.
There are so many parodies of Bohemian Rhapsody but this one is my favourite. So well done!
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.
Taking one of my all time favourite songs and giving it a Chanukah spin!!!! Amazing
Destined to be a classic!! Awesome!!! One of the best ever!
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
This completely blew me away. Amazing talent! Binge watching their videos now
The Lord and Freddie both love this.
This is world class!
To bad I can only like this once....
Terry Long once a year, at least
Woooooooo!!!! Yeah!! Yes!! THAT IS HOW ITS DONE! BOOM!! 😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏
This is awesome!!!! Finally a good hanukkah song
Bloody BRILLIANT !
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
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!
Todah rabah, guys!
I’ve got tears in my eyes, this is the most beautiful, most Jewish thing I’ve ever seen!
Mushlam. Perfecto. Wow. Bravo! Kol Hakavod!
A masterpiece six13 happy hanukkah
This is sooooooooo freaking awesome!!!! Love it!!! 💙✨
I've got goosebumps! Simply AWESOME.
Love all of you!
Where is the 18-heart love button??? This is so awesome! Brilliant lyrics...made me laugh and brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful voices! And did you beat box all the instruments?
shana meyerson, I know! We need a chai like button
You guys knocked it out of the park with this one! Well done! Loved it!
This fills my chanukkah with light+
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 💕🎶🌷🙏😘
Bravo !!!!! Super. So Talanted. Toda
This is one of my favorites. Amazing job you guys. Brings me back to when you came to my bar mitzvah :)
Wow thanks!
Absolutely brilliant, every second of it. It's beyond words. Chag Sameach!
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.
Awesome Job!
Great Adaption of Bohemian Rhapsody! :-)
So well written. So well sung. Great job!
Thank you Six 13 for your rendition! One of the very best adaptations of any music that I've heard, and I am in my late 60's!
Love these guys!
Loving this. Beautiful blending of song, lyrics and vocals. Loved the acappella touch!!!
Even besides the deep spiritual joy and shining message, this video would still be worth it just for the heartfelt jubilant air guitar mastery.
“Can’t do this to me bubbe!” 🤣
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!!
