  The Hanukkah Song by Adam Sandler
    (for DDRExtreme.co.uk Christmas Mix)

"The Hanukkah Song" is probably Adam Sandler's most famous musical number. I think it debuted on Saturday Night Live, but it definitely appeared on his 1996 comedy album "What The Hell Happened To Me?" I cut out the first minute since nothing much happened and the song was over three minutes long. It still clocks in at an impressive 2:15.

David Lee Roth
Lights the menorah
So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas
and the late Dinah Shore-a 

Guess who eats together
At the Carnegie Deli
Bowser from Sha-na-na
And Arthur Fonzarelli

Paul Newman's half Jewish
Goldie Hawn's half too
Put them together
What a fine lookin' Jew

You don't need Deck the Halls or
Jingle Bell Rock
Cause you can spin the dreidel
With Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock
(both Jewish)

Put on your yarmulka
Ut's time for Hanukkah
The owner of the Seattle Supersonicas
Celebrates Hanukkah

O.J. Simpson
Not a Jew
But guess who is
Hall of Famer Rod Carew
(he converted) 

We got Ann Landers
And her sister Dear Abby,
Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish
Not too shabby! 

Some people think
That Ebeneezer Scrooge is
Well, he's not, but guess who is
All three stooges

So many Jews are
In show biz
Tom Cruise isn't
But I heard his agent is

Tell your friend Veronica
Its time to celebrate Hanukkah
I hope I get a harmonica
On this lovely lovely Hanukkah
So drink your gin and tonica
And smoke your marijuanica
If you really, really wannaka
Have a happy happy happy happy Hanukkah

Adam Sandler is a well-known lowbrow comedian. He starred on Saturday Night Live in the 1980's, then went on to make the fun, if unintelligent movies /Billy Madison/, /Happy Gilmore/ and /The Waterboy/. Everything after that kinda sucked.

Speed: Wiggles between 88 and 100 BPM, with a slowdown to 55 at the end. It's live; what else can I do?
Pauses: Every time the audience goes to applaud. Only way to keep time.

Production still from the Adam Sandler animated feature "Eight Crazy Nights", which derived its title from this very song. I haven't actually seen the movie, but I don't think I'm missing too much. Text is a Hebrew lookalike font with a Star of David (or Star of Daniel if you listen to Officer Garcia) for an O.

jammitch! is an award-winning simfile author and Stepmania theme designer, among other things. jammitch! began playing DDR in May 2003 and began messing around with the various simulators in August (settling on Stepmania 3.0 Final before daring to try the CVS builds). He first seriously entered the DDR sim scene in February 2004. No one seemed to notice. In DDRei TournaMix 5, his "Green Hill (Euroclub '95 Mix)" simfile advanced to the semfinals on the strenth of judging, and was massacred by the public in later rounds. However, in DDROSC3, his "Los Angeles is Burning" simfile swept the competition, proving that rock music can and does make for good stepcharts in capable hands. Other fine jammitch! originals include Beyond Electric Dreams, Himawari, Red Zone, and t.grey; other not-so-fine jammitch! originals have been buried and will never see the light of day. When not wasting his time on DDR simulation, jammitch! wastes his time programming useless crap no one wants, and attends college to learn how to program useless crap no one wants. Another interesting fact: if you capitalize the j, jammitch! will hunt you down and sell your organs on the black market. However, the exclamation point is strictly optional.

You can (probably) find more of jammitch!'s simfiles at his Bemanistyle Sims Database page:

or PM me on DDRManiaX or Bemanistyle. No, I will not make an SM theme for you.
