Clement, looking a little bit like Ben Folds, acted as his own road crew while he set up his elaborate show. When he picked up the guitar, you couldn't help but expect an unoriginal Adam Sandler type tune or a song about a breakup gone awry, but oh no, no way, nuh-uh, that's not Clement. Instead, he belted out a gem about getting it on with one conjoined twin, while the other one hangs dead off of her chin and you're all like "whoa, whoa, whoa! That's not The Hanukkah Song at all... that's awesome!"

Not only is this Friday the first official day of winter (so even though it hasn’t snowed yet, maybe there’s still hope for a white Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/ Boxing Day), it’s also the winter solstice. Around 12:20 a.m. Universal Time on December 22nd, or for Torontonians, 7:20 p.m. Eastern Time on December 21st, the Earth's northern hemisphere is farthest away from the sun. The winter solstice marks the 24 hours of the least daylight, thus the shortest day on the Gregorian calendar.

TOist tipster Rachel Kagan alerted us to Eric ''the suburban homeboy' Schwartz's Heeb Hop parodies and we laughed so hard we nearly gave our breakfast bagel back to the world. Schwartz's Hanukkah Hey Ya is so bad it's gone past good and back to bad again. There's a whole history of frightening Weird Al-style Jewsic out there, and Torontoist rues the day Shlock Rock assaulted our hometown. Memories most painful. But anyone who beatboxes around 'Manishevitz' can't be nearly as frightening. An early Happy Hanukkah Homeboys!
