Thankfully we have a few more Chanukah tunes than last year to share with you, hopefully more pop up this holiday season but I will not hold my breath. Also why are there four different ways to spell Chanukah, Chanukkah, Hanukah, Hanukkah???
So on this second day of Chanukah I will give you the gift of covers. The tunes for the most part are not along the line of the usual songs I post here but given the limited choices out there I'll take all I can get. The Save Ferris song is not a literal cover, more of an interpretation but it's probably my favorite of the bunch followed by Ben Kwellers rendition of "Rock of Ages".
Happy Chanukah all! I'll try to get one more holiday post up by tomorrow, if not I wish everyone a happy holiday season and a great New Year too, I'll be out of the country for a week enjoying some much needed sun (it's insanely cold in New York right now) and sand but I'll be back in 2009 with a resolution to post more often.
Also a holiday gift to myself was buying a domain for this blog and if the internet police come back with a vengeance in 2009 I'll be moving this all to my own host. So update your bookmarks with http://blowinyourcover.com/ if you'd like.
Barenaked Ladies "I Have A Little Dreidel"
Barenaked Ladies "Hanukkah Oh Hanukkah"
Ben Kweller "Rock of Ages"
Erran Baron Cohen featuring Jules Brookes "Dreidel"
Black Tape For A Blue Girl "Chanukkah Oh Chanukkah"
Save Ferris "Christmas Wrapping" (The Waitresses Cover)
As always, support the artists, buy the music. Use the links to the right and support the blog too!
