"The Chanukah Song" is a novelty song written by comedian Adam Sandler with ''Saturday Night Live'' writers Lewis Morton and Ian Maxtone-Graham and originally performed by Sandler on ''Saturday Night Live''s Weekend Update on December 3, 1994. Sandler subsequently performed the song as part of his stand-up act, later updating it with new lyrics. All variations center on the theme of Jewish children feeling alienated during the Christmas season, and Sandler's listing of Jewish celebrities (both real and fictional) as a way of sympathizing with their situation. ==Part I (1994)== This version appeared on Sandler's 1996 comedy album ''What the Hell Happened to Me?''. Persons referenced in "The Chanukah Song": *David Lee Roth *James Caan *Kirk Douglas *Dinah Shore (replaced in some performances with Pauly Shore) *The Carnegie Deli (noted for traditional Jewish fare) *Bowzer (Jon Bauman) from Sha Na Na *Arthur Fonzarelli (Henry Winkler) *Paul Newman (half-Jewish) *Goldie Hawn (half-Jewish) *Captain Kirk (William Shatner) *Spock (Leonard Nimoy) * the owner of the Seattle SuperSonics (presumably Sam Schulman, although he had sold the team to Barry Ackerley, who was not Jewish, by the time the song was written) *O. J. Simpson described as "not a Jew!" to great applause from the audience. *Rod Carew (He converted) (This is an error; Carew married a Jewish woman, but he did not convert to Judaism).〔Charlton, James; Shatzkin, Mike; and Holtje, Stephen. ''The Ballplayers: Baseball's Ultimate Biographical Reference''. (New York: Arbor House/William Morrow, 1990), pp 155-156. ISBN 0-87795-984-6.〕 *Ann Landers *"Dear Abby" (Pauline Phillips at the time.) *Harrison Ford (quarter-Jewish) (This is an error; Ford's mother is actually fully Jewish).〔Jenkins, Gary (March 1999). Harrison Ford: Imperfect Hero. Kensington Books, 9–12. ISBN 0-8065-8016-X.〕 *Ebenezer Scrooge, described as not Jewish. *All of The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard; Stooges Shemp Howard and Joe Besser were also Jewish) *Tom Cruise (Cruise, a Scientologist, is not Jewish, but Sandler “hear(s) his agent is”). During the final verse, performed originally on ''Saturday Night Live'' and on a radio cut, Sandler sings the line "Drink your gin and tonic-ah, but don't smoke marijuan-icah". On the uncut album version, and during various concert appearances, the line was changed to "Drink your gin and tonic-ah, and smoke your marijuan-icah". The uncut version, despite the reference to marijuana, receives most radio airplay today; another radio edit skips completely over the gin and tonic/marijuana line altogether. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Chanukah Song」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
