Sandler’s fourth is best & most watched
In ’94, one of the more gifted entertainers among the chosen, Adam Sandler, came up with one of our most iconic holiday jingles ever, “The Chanukah Song”. He followed up with two renditions, “Part II” in ’99 and “Part III” in ’02. 13 years since the last update, Sandler released “The Chanukah Song Part IV” – and it is absolutely glorious. The song was debuted at a gig in San Diego a few months back . Now, a video of Sandler’s latest rundown of high-profile Hebrews has come out on YouTube and the crowds have gone wild. Check it out…

After name dropping Drake and the guys who founded Google, Sandler sings, “We got Scarlett Johansson/ Talk about a kosher crush/ And if you need a higher voice to turn you on/ How about Geddy Lee from Rush!” Unfortunately, it’s not all good news. “Jared from Subway/ G-d dammit, a Jew/ But guess who’s Jewish and could fix him?/ Love Lines’ Dr Drew.”
David Beckham’s apparently a quarter Jewish, and Shia LaBeouf is half – “But 100% nutty,” Sandler adds.
To hear who else the tribe gets a mention from the iconic singer who is clearly pandering up to a secular audience by referring to half- and quarter-Jews, but his bit of fun is about to clock up more views than the FIRST, SECOND or THIRD incantations.
Thanks to one of SA’s most famous exports to US Jewry for sending this to us. Enjoy – and Happy Chanukah to all our readers!
