Adam Sandler's 'The Chanukah Song' was debuted on SNL 26 years and one week ago today. The original version would chart two years later when he put it on his second album. An updated version was recorded and released in 1999. Part III was performed on SNL in 2002 and Part IV was performed at a Judd Apatow event in 2015. Anyway, have a happy, happy, happy Hanukkah.
