Chanukah came early this year.
On Saturday, performing at the Judd Apatow & Friends event at the New York Comedy Festival at Carnegie Hall, Adam Sandler updated the lyrics to his famous Chanukah Song for the first time since 2002.
Sandler first came out with the joyful holiday tune during a sketch for Saturday Night Live on Dec. 3, 1994. He then updated the lyrics in 1999, and then again in 2002 with Chanukah Song Part 3.
The latest version references a new school of Jewish celebrities, athletes and entrepreneurs, like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jake Gyllenhaal, Seth Rogen, Scarlett Johansson, the owners of Google, and more.
“Joseph Gordon-Levitt enjoys eating kugel. So does Stan Lee, Jake Gyllenhaal, and the two guys who founded Google,” he sings. There’s also Adam Levine, Drake, Ron Jeremy, and apparently David Beckham?
The new version references that it is “but Santa Claus who makes Christmas so merry, but we get two jolly fat guys: ice cream’s Ben & Jerry’s.”
Happy Chanukah!
