Adam Sandler’s “Hanukkah Song” finally has some worthy competition in “A Week and a Day,” a hilarious Hanukkah music video celebrating the Festival of Lights in a boy band style. Performing as Boyz II Menorah, James Corden, Zach Braff, Charlie Puth, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Josh Peck—all of whom are Jewish or half-Jewish with the exception of Corden—debuted the video on Corden’s “The Late Late Show” on Dec. 19.

“I’ve got a week and a day of love for you this Hanukkah, girl. I’ve got a week and a day to show you how much I care. I’ve got a week and a day of presents for a girl that shines brighter than any menorah,” goes the lyric. “When you light the candles, I wanna be there.”

The love song parody references dreidels, bagels, gelt, latkes and Manischewitz and is peppered with clever usage of Hebrew. “Girl, baruch atah I don’t know how you do it,” Braff says, and Mintz-Plasse has the line, “Eloheinu melech ha-oh love to be with you.”

The catchy song is billed as a single from the fictional album “Mazel Tov!: The Best of Boyz II Menorah.”
