Best Television Shows

Guess how we will be spending this coming Hanukkah? In addition to our usual Duck Tales-like backstroke through a pool full of fried latkies and chocolate-covered coins, we will be blasting an entirely new addition to our usual Hanukah Jam ouevre. That’s because the one and only Neil Diamond has gone ahead and covered Adam Sandler’s “Chanukah Song” on his upcoming MUST BUY album ‘A Cherry, Cherry Christmas’. (Title = Genius.) According to The Spinner blog, who gets the credit for finding this:

When Neil Diamond — who’s been called the “Jewish Elvis” — wanted to include a song about the festival lights on his third Christmas album, he turned to an unlikely source: Adam Sandler.

Diamond even addresses the dearth of Chanukah songs at the beginning of his version, saying, “There are so many beautiful Christmas songs around and so few Chanukah songs, so I thought we’d try this one for you.”

Well, it was either this or “Forever in Jew Jeans.” And no one really wants to hear that.

Here’s the song!
