Spinning That Latin Dreidel

Jewish people have very few festive Hanukkah songs. There's Adam Sandler's "Hanukkah Song"...and that's about it. Erran Baron Cohen, brother of Sacha Baron Cohen and composer of the original music for "Borat" and "Da Ali G Show", tried to change that back in 2008 with his album, Songs In The Key Of Hanukkah. As promotion for the album, the first single, "Dreidel", was released online for free. You've probably heard the original version of this traditional song. You know, "Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made it out of clay..." Yeah, that one. Well, if you ever wanted to know what that song would sound like if it were performed by a latin marching band, now you'll get to find out. There's also a music video for the song.
