Adam Sandler Chanukah Song

Instead of One Day of Presents, We Have Eight Crazy Nights

The Chanukah Song is a novelty song written by comedian Adam Sandler and Saturday Night Live writers Lewis Morton and Ian Maxtone-Graham. The popular SNL cast member performed the song for the first time on December 3, 1994 as part of the show’s “Weekend Update” skit.

The song became part of Adam Sandler’s stand-up comedy act and was updated with new lyrics in 1999, 2002, and 2015. The most recent update includes a reference to Jared Fogel, the disgraced former spokesman for Subway.

Jared from Subway: #$!@ dammit, a Jew
But guess who’s Jewish and can fix him? “Loveline”’s Dr. Drew
(get on it doc!)

All variations of the song share the plight of Jewish children and their feelings of alienation during the Christmas holiday season. Jewish celebrities mentioned in the 1994 song include James Caan, Michael Douglas, Harrison Ford, Goldie Hawn, Paul Newman, Leonard Nimoy (Spock), David Lee Roth, William Shatner (Captain Kirk), and Henry Winkler (Arthur Fonzarelli).

Adam Sandler fans also enjoy the comedian’s other holiday novelty song, The Thanksgiving Song.
