WATCH: Adam Sandler releases ‘The Chanukah Song, Part 4’

We may not have "Santa Claus who makes Christmas so merry, but we get two jolly fat guys: ice cream’s Ben & Jerry’s”

Last week the world learned that after thirteen years, Adam Sandler had updated the lyrics to his classic holiday anthem, The Chanukah Song.

Thanks to a fan’s cellphone footage from Judd Apatow’s standup special at New York City’s Carnegie Hall, which was immediately taken down, lyrics to The Chanukah Song Part 4 were being widely shared on social media, despite the fact that there was no actual song to sing along to.

Now, Sandler has released a video of him singing the updated version at a show in San Diego.

As you may already know, Part 4 introduces a new class of Jewish actors and celebrities, including Jared from Subway (unfortunately), Drake, Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ron Jeremy, David Beckham (apparently) Adam Levine, the owners of Google, Stan Lee, the owners of Ben & Jerry’s, and more.

The original Chanukah Song debuted on Saturday Night Live in 1994.
