Music icon Smokey Robinson has gone viral thanks to a hilarious mispronunciation in a Cameo video.
Robinson, 80, is an American singer, songwriter and record producer who was the founder and frontman of Motown group, The Miracles.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member is currently offering fans personalised video messages for $350 on the online service Cameo.
A man named Jeff Jacobson paid Robinson through Cameo to wish his mum a happy Chanukah (which is the more traditional way of spelling Hanukkah).
The man wrote on Twitter: “My mom grew up on the same street as Smokey Robinson in Detroit. So for Chanukah, I wanted to reunite them via @Cameo. But the video takes a strange twist.”
In the video, Robinson says: “Hey Margo, how you doing? Surprise, surprise. This is Smokey Robinson.”
After discussing the fact they used to live on the same street, Robinson says: “They want me to wish you happy Chanukah.”
But Robinson clearly isn’t aware that ‘Chanukah’ is another way of pronouncing ‘Hanukkah’, as he continued: “I have no idea what Chanukah is, but happy Chanukah, because they said so. Anyways, God bless you, babe, and enjoy Chanukah.”
Twitter users reacted by calling the video “adorable” with other comments including:
• “With a voice like that, he can pronounce it however he wants and it’s still golden.”
• “Awww. It’s actually so freaking sweet. I love that he was willing to wish someone happiness as they honour a holiday he knows nothing about. He did it because it meant something to them, not him. Everyone should take cues from Smokey.”
• “Honestly, when he says it like that with that Smokey Robinson smile, how can you be mad? I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling. I’m guessing your mom (sic) had the same reaction.”
