stux weekender saturday december 20 1997 p 9 happy chanukah song provides a belly laugh anyone listening to mix 999 on the radio last wednesday morning a little after 8 am would have been privy to our households contribution to ecu menical holiday good cheer the occasion was my wife susans brief fling with air waves fame having heard comic actor adam sandlers rather hilarious chanukah song the previous morning she called in to inquire whether they planned to play the song again she soon found herself on the air explaining how she was one of a hand ful of jews in her little town and that it would be nice to hear sandlers tune again in the interests of equal time this little ditty for those who may not yet have heard it is intended as a rather lighthearted source of solace for jewish people who might be inclined to feel left out because theyre the only ones on the street without a christmas tree in their living rooms as susan jokingly pointed out during her on air chat with the stations morn ing man rob christie she is indeed an mot that stands for member of the tribe as in the jewish people scat tered all over the earth with a common descendancy to the happy lot which escaped enslavement in egypt several thousand years back but she delights in gleaning the best of both worlds decorating the house with the trappings of christmas and chanukah with the coming of decem ber each year when she first heard sandlers chanukah offering the day before her radio debut she was both understand ably pleased and immensely amused not only was her side getting a little air play but sandlers comic inanity was enough to bring on a major belly laugh sandler he of the wacky tempera ment and 400yard golf drive in the flick happy gilmour sets out to offer a musical tribute to stars of the entertain ment and sporting worlds who are fully half or even a little bit jewish the rhyming scheme often gets stretched beyond all levels of poetic licence from where i live bruce stapley as in the owner of the seattle super sonicahs celebrates chanukah after declaring in more off beat rhyme that james caan kirk douglas the fonz of happy days fame captain kirk and mr spock of star trek all light the menorah at chanukah he goes on to declare who isnt jewish some people think that ebenezer scrooge is well hes not but guess who is all three stooges see what i mean about the rhyming scheme he gets your attention when he starts out a verse with oj simpson fol lowed by a pregnant pause after which he relieves the tension by saying reas suringly not a jew he then pro ceeds to complete the verse with but guess who is hall of famer rod carew adding a he converted as a postscript regarding the black ameri can exbaseball star so many jews are in show biz he continues tom cruise isnt but i heard his agent is and so on ad riotous infinitum hes not above hypothesizing with regards to the sum of various parts in the interest of aesthetics paul new mans half jewish goldie hawn is too put them together what a fine looking jew the best though is left to the end so drink your gin and tonica and smoke your marijuanica if you really really wanica have a happy happy happy happy chanukah it doesnt get much sillier than that i guess thats why it hit such a resound ing chord in our zany twofaithed household oh yes and heres wishing all the nonjews out there a merry
