When Sandler’s animated Chanukah movie “Eight Crazy Nights” hit theaters in 2002, “The Chanukah Song” Part 3 released with the film. That version of the song featured a choir of children, named by Sandler as “The Drei-Dreis” (after the Chanukah toy known as a “dreidel”), singing background vocals. My cousins told me that Sandler’s team had traveled to Jewish synagogues around Los Angeles to audition children who sang in synagogue choirs. “It was really fun to sing with Adam and other Jewish singers from around LA,” my cousin David shared. All three StoogesSo many Jews are in showbizTom Cruise isn’t, but I heard his agent isTell your friend, VeronicaIt’s time you celebrate ChanukahI hope I get a harmonicaOn this lovely, lovely ChanukahSo drink your gin and tonic-ahAnd smoke your marijuani-khahIf you really, really wanna-kahHave a happy, happy, happy, happy ChanukahHappy Chanukah
