The Sandman Cometh

I'm running a little late on this one as Hanukkah ended last Tuesday night, but having been inspired by hearing his 3rd version on the way to work Thursday I can only ask, has there ever been a more Jew-positive anthem than Adam Sandler's "The Hanukkah Song"?

How heartwarming to know that both Kirk and Spock celebrate with my people.

Here's a fan montage of the 1st version, with the great Harrison Ford line. No doubt due to fan-crazed interest, Sandler followed up with this 2nd version ("O.J.Simpson...still not a Jew!"), and this new 3rd version with an, um, climactic line about half-Jewess Jennifer Connolly.

And perhaps he can be forgiven for rhyming "Hanukkah" with the names of both stars of Mister Magorium's Wonder Emporium over the course to two different renditions.

Natalie Portman-ukkah, indeed.
