Adam~what a good idea for a surprise gift for my son,whose name, by the way, is Adam:) I will send him the Chanukah Song and will tell him you said HI~

Hi! At the risk of sounding ignorant...who is mc lyte? Is there a pun here? I don't get it. Thanks Susan. I had forgotten his name. We're having latkes tonight!

Licht, I think it's a little play on words & is intended on MC (Hammer) Lite, (or Lyte, in an alternative spelling). Just a guess.... BC

Does anyone know the words to Adam Sandler's New Chanukah Song? I heard it once and it was great. Enjoy the latkes! Yum.

Dear Susan & Lisa (but there's still no Monica), And Mom you might want to send this one to your son, Adam, also. It's from his CD "Stan and Judy's Kid". Submitted for your enjoyment: 'The Chanukah Song Part II' Put on your yarmulke Its time for Chanukah So much funnakah To celebrate Chanukah Chanukah is the festival of lights Instead of one day of presents We get eight crazy nights When you feel like the only kid in town Without a Christmas tree Here's a new list of people who are Jewish Just like you and me Winona Ryder, Drinks Manischewitz wine Then spins a dreidle with Ralph Lauren & Calvin Klein Guess who gives and receives Loads of Chanukah toys The girls from Veruca Salt and all three Beastie Boys Lenny Kravitz is half Jewish, Courtney Love is half too Put them together What a funky bad a__ Jew We got Harvey Keitel And flash dancer Jennifer Beals Yasmine Bleeth from Baywatch is Jewish And yes her boobs are real Put on your yarmulke Its time for Chanukah 2-time Oscar winning Dustin Hoffmanaka celebrates Chanukah O.J. Simpson Still not a Jew But guess who is, The guy who does the voice for Scooby Doo Bob Dylan was born a Jew Then he wasn't but now he's back, Mary Tyler Moore's husband is Jewish 'Cause we're pretty good in the sack. Guess who got bar-mitzvahed On the PGA tour No I'm not talking about Tiger Woods I'm talkin' about Mr. Happy Gilmore. So many Jews are in the show biz Bruce Springsteen isn't But my mother thinks he is. Tell the world-amanaka It's time for Chanukah It's not pronounced Ch-nakah The C is silent in Chanukah So get your hooked on phonica Get drunk in Tijuanaka If you really really wannaka Have a happy happy happy happy Chanukah!

Oh Capo!! You do know music, don't you? Jackie Chanukah! That's a good one. But if you refer to the lyrics of the NEW song, you'll note that the "C" is silent. So sorry. Thanks for playin'. Licht & Book Chick, RE: MC Lyte she's a rapper from Brooklyn from the late '80's thru today. She showed up on Janet Jackson's song/video "You Want This", y'know the one w/ all the girls ridin' around in a convertible? Geez Louise, am I the only one around here who has traded one addiction (music videos) for another (travel forums)?

I would substitute "Monica" for "Veronica" to update this ditty. What do you think the odds are they will sing it on Saturday Night Live this week? I hope I did not miss it last week. So, Go tell Monica To celebrate Chanukah

Aw Lauren, I hate to burst your bubble but since I'm no longer on SNL I think the odds are pretty low. Unless of course, I make a guest appearance. Great substitution! You win today's Chanukah prize! A dreidle. Ooh ahh!

Adam, I just spoke to my Adam in Japan, he says hello ,he will be going to a lot of Christmas parties in Japan and you know how they like karaoke there~he will try to sing the Chanukah song there~I am sure he will be a big hit:)

Mom, you are a riot! Tell him not to steal my act, though; Japan is a small country & I can still find him.

Topping for the 6th night of Chanukah! "Winona Ryder, Drinks Manischewitz wine Then spins a dreidle with Ralph Lauren & Calvin Klein" Hey did you hear that Winona Ryder was caught shop-lifting @ Saks? If she spins a dreidle with Lauren & Klein why would she need to?

Adam: Know you're no longer a regular on SNL, but maybe they'll let Hanukkah Harry make a guest appearance on the show tonight ???

LOVED reading the updated version of the chanukah song!!! many thanks! and to susan-i can't believe matt lauer made such a big goof!!! but you must tell me what matt said after jerry's reply!!! i am a former today show watcher, now living in london and matt was starting to get on my nerves before we left-but what an idiot! please finish the story! thanks.

It was Lisa who heard Matt Lauer and Seinfeld. Is there any more to tell, Lisa?? I always assumed Matt Lauer was a Chanukah-celebrator himself!

Adam,my son Adam, teaches 3-6 yr old babies in Japan.They love to learn songs and sing along with him, he has had laryngitis this week and all of the babies think it is fun to whisper~so I can just picture all of these adorable Japenese babies, going home and singing the Chanuka song to their parents :0)

Mom, that's so cute! Won't the parents be dumbstruck. Yes, please Lisa let's here more about that interview. 'Course Jerry probably rendered him speechless. Susan, I too thought he was a celebrator. If so, what a boob! And Amy, you're welcome. Happy Chanukah

Topping for the people who think this forum is boring~

Thanks Topping. And I thought this is the one they meant specifically. For the 7th day/night of Chanukah!

For all those waiting for Matt Lauer's reply. Well, here is the anti climax. It was hardly earth shattering. He just kind of mumbled something like "happy Hannukah then" (looking suitably embarrassed, I like to think)and went on to the next segment. But I did like Jerry's typically deadpan response. I am so sick of people assuming that everyone celebrates Christmas. My kids used to get really upset when they were younger and well-meaning strangers would ask them if they have been good little boys and what is Santa bringing them?

Thank you all Happy Hannuka to you too from Israel Meira
