Put on your yarmulke, the Haim sisters are taking over Hanukkah.

Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim, known collectively as the rock band Haim, may be about to unseat Adam Sandler in the eternal Best Hanukkah Song competition. The band debuted a brief new Hanukkah song on their Instagram on Tuesday, with the caption, “sandler we’re coming for you.”

It’s all gold, but our favorite line in the new Maoz Tzur is “shred me like a potato latke! You be the Manischewitz and I’ll be the vodka!”

Give it a listen here:
