If you’re looking for a good laugh, look no further than James Corden. Known for his clever humor and entertaining sketches, he recently created a parody boy band for a memorable Hanukkah anthem. This time, he teamed up with some familiar faces — Zach Braff, Charlie Puth, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Josh Peck — to form the group Boyz II Menorah, paying homage to the iconic boy bands of the late ’90s like *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys.
Their performance of “A Week and a Day,” which aired on The Late Late Show with James Corden, is both catchy and hilarious. The video kicks off with Corden delivering a rap while a charming girl gazes out the window, setting the stage for the fun to come. Josh Peck sings, “Got a week and a day of love this Hanukkah, girl,” before Mintz-Plasse adds his own flair with, “Got a week and a day to show you how much I care.” For those unfamiliar, Hanukkah lasts for eight nights, beginning this year on December 22 and concluding on December 30.
Charlie Puth chimes in with a sweet line about gifts, saying, “Got a week and a day of presents for a girl that shines brighter than any menorah.” Braff then declares his desire to be there for the candle lighting. The group channels the spirit of New Kids On The Block as they continue through the candles of the menorah, singing about the blessings and joys of the holiday.
They even have a whimsical moment spinning around on a giant dreidel, adding to the fun. The chorus is an anthem of positivity, as they sing, “When the world gets sad, our hearts will free us.” As the song progresses, they continue with clever lyrics about each candle, culminating in a memorable line about how sweet love can be.
Corden and his pals sport some seriously nostalgic boy band outfits, with Corden himself rocking an all-white tracksuit reminiscent of the era. Not only does this parody provide a fresh Hanukkah tune for us to enjoy, but it also brings back fond memories of our favorite ’90s pop culture.
