Candlelight (The Maccabeats song)
"Candlelight" is a song by the band The Maccabeats, that was released in late 2010. It achieved viral status.[1][2][3] The song is a transformation of Mike Tompkins's a cappella cover of the Taio Cruz song "Dynamite". The Maccabeats are an all male Jewish a cappella student group at Yeshiva University.[2][4][5]
The lyrics were written by Immanuel Shalev and David Block; Uri Westrich, a medical student and alumnus, made the video.[6]
