Slow Death by Dreidel Song Exposure

After eight days of gifts and shekels, there’s only one thing resonating from Hannukah/Hanukkah/Channukkah/Chanakah: JEEZ THAT FREAKIN’ DREIDEL SONG IS ANNOYING.  It’s bad enough that since the dawn of man people have been asking, “What’s a dreidel?” and hearing “it’s a top,” as the reply, to which the person posing the question declares, “then why isn’t it just called a top?”  And can someone please settle on ONE spelling of Hanukkah?

Before anyone starts shouting “Anti-Semite” and before anyone tells us, “…a dreidel is much more than a top; it’s a lifestyle…”, keep it in your pants, Shnooky, we ain’t trying to offend anyone.  Simply put, we just hate the stupid song.  Just like we DESPISE Paul McCartney’s horribly less-than-mediocre “Wonderful Christmastime” and we hate the fact that Barbra Streisand (ironically) had released a christmas album.  I can’t decide if Barbra Streisand is more or less annoying than that freakin’ dreidel song.

Special thanks to Eric Cartman for putting us in the holiday spirit, not only for his rendition of the dreidel song, but for his classic “Swiss Colony Beef Log“.  Thanks and Chappy Cholidays to All, even if you like the dreidel song.  Just remember: “christmas ain’t christmas without a Swiss Colony beef log” AND “people who need people are the luckiest people in the world”.
