The Maccabeats present: A Passover parody of your favourite Justin Bieber songs

Passover came early this year

Last week we were handed two offerings of Passover parody videos that have kept us warm through the night: “The Adele/Bieber Passover Mashup,” presented by Aish.com, and “Seder,” a take on Michael Jackson’s iconic “Thriller” by Jewish a capella group Y-Studs.

All the while, however, many of us were waiting for a song from popular a capella group The Maccabeats, who rose to stardom in 2010 with a Chanukah parody of Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite,” and since then have provided many Jewish-holiday themed jams (usually parodies of pop hits).

Yesterday, they added one more song to their collection – a parody of (wait for it) the three most popular Justin Bieber songs to recently grace the airwaves: “Sorry,” “What Do You Mean?” and “Love Yourself.”

The song is (aptly) titled “Let My People Go/Story/Why Do We Lean?” and (surprise!) tells the story of Passover. Hear it, and watch the video, above.
