I've not seen the song. But for many decades now, Jewish comedians and producers have "cosplayed" and parodied all manner of different religious and ethnic groups on TV shows.

A Jewish advocacy group slammed Democratic socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for posting a “sick” video mocking Hannukah and “cosplaying Jews.”
The mayoral front-runner shared a video on his X account last year from the Geeta Brothers Duet Group, showing two men wearing wigs dancing behind a menorah, playing with dreidels and celebrating with Punjabi-style music.
“Zohran Mamdani posts Indian men cosplaying Jews, spinning dreidels and lighting the menorah,” pro-Jewish group Stop Antisemitism wrote in a post to X Saturday, which included the controversial song.
“Our holidays and traditions are sacred and not for your comedic pleasure _ZohranKMamdani — this is sick.”
Mamdani, 33, shared the campy song called “Hey Hannukah” during last year’s Festival of Lights.
“Happy 3rd night of Hanukkah from Astoria and Long Island City,” the Queens lawmaker wrote on X at the time.
The video is from the 2015 parody album “Punjabi Christmas Album Hits” from the Geeta Brothers — a side project of Sikh-Canadian musician and comedian Jus Reign.
Mamdani shared a similar video from the same comedy group on Christmas Eve 2024.
“Wishing you all a very merry Christmas from Astoria and Long Island City,” the self-described “nepo-baby” wrote, sharing a video for the song “Jingle Bells,” in which the performers wear similar wigs.
The tone-deaf post is not the only reason Jewish New Yorkers are outraged over the rise of the socialist pol.
Some Big Apple voters were gobsmacked when they received pro-Mamdani text messages that invoked the horrors of the October 7th attack in Israel.

Zohran is an attention whore and, if we are lucky, videos like this will ooze out of the interweb in time to kill his chances for election.

Yes we know. Stop whatabouting.
SNL he isn’t. Or maybe he is.
My tenants downstairs are Sikhs and they share videos like that all the time. It’s very much Punjabi humor, which isn’t mean spirited at all. It’s more about laughing at themselves.
Mami is displaying his muslim background.
Jews will still vote for him.
BTTT
They are clinically nutz.......

Hello Florida!!
There has been a slow motion “mass evacuation” of Jews from NYC starting around 1970. The population statistics tell the story.
Wow. It doesn’t take much to entertain him. Setting aside all other issues, poorly shot, hammy, incoherent (Sikhs?). Just not funny
The point is, if you mock others, you should be able to take some mockery yourself.
ALL Leftists should be deported, of EVERY creed and race.
Says people who hate Christmas.
The odd thing about the NYC mayoral election in November is that a majority of Jews will again go Democrat. They can’t help it.
I'm not talking about Mamdani or leftists. I'm saying this Indian video is nothing to get upset over. Other groups have taken worse ribbing.
