Today I bring <a href="http://www.elizabethandthecatapult.com" target="_blank">Elizabeth & The Catapult’s</a> super freaky cute song and <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/2480175" target="_blank">video</a> “Christmas with the Jews.” Okay so the song was techically recorded last year, never-you-mind. It is still an instant classic sure to bring grinning Chanukah cheer. <br /><br />The Brooklyn trio, consisting of Elizabeth Ziman, Dan Molad, and Pete Lalis, formed in 2004 and released its Mike Mogus-produced album “Taller Children” in 2009 (Mogus of Bright Eyes and Monsters of Folk fame). <br /><br />During an interview with LAist last year, Ziman said the group’s holiday song was simply about how “Jews can have fun on Christmas, too.”<br /><br />The clip features Ziman singing to her bunny then prancing and dancing around holiday-crazy drug stores and malls. Since the <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/2480175" target="_blank">video</a> is on Vimeo, I can’t post it here, but I’ve provided this handy <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/2480175" target="_blank">link</a> and a few neato stills.</p> <p><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/2480175" target="_blank"><img alt="picture_1_439" height="439" src="/images/uploads/blog_art/1109/picture_1_439.png" title="picture_1_439" width="432" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/2480175" target="_blank"><img alt="picture_3_360" height="225" src="/images/uploads/blog_art/1109/picture_3_360.png" title="picture_3_360" width="360" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/2480175" target="_blank"><img alt="picture_6_360" height="225" src="/images/uploads/blog_art/1109/picture_6_360.png" title="picture_6_360" width="360" /></a></p>
