The Chanukah Song

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chanukah Song is a series of songs written and performed by Adam Sandler. All variations center around the theme of Jewish children feeling isolated during the Christmas season and Sandler's listing of Jewish celebrities, some lesser-known or completley fictional.

Actor Cole Sprouse is co-credited with Sandler on the 1999 Chanukah Song, Part II.

Also, in an unedited version that Sandler sings at some of his comedy shows, he replaces the lyric "As for half-Jewish actors, Sean Penn is quite the great one. Marlon Brando's not a Jew at all, but it looks to me like he ate one" with "Gwyneth Paltrow's half-Jewish, but a full-time Oscar winner. Jennifer Connelly's half-Jewish, too, and I'd like to put some more in her". This edition is not played on radio versions or the soundtrack. However, the music video shows a background screen shows a picture of Sandler licking his lips as the Jennifer Connelly lyric is sung, with shocked laughter coming from the audience.

On an episode of The Office, Michael Scott parodies Sandler by performing "The Diwali Song" during a Hindu Diwali festival.
