The band Haim — consisting of sisters Este, Danielle and Alana Haim — have a tradition of celebrating Hanukkah with fun new songs posted to their social media accounts. Naturally 2021 was no different, and this year they treated fans to an absolutely delightful cover of Adam Sandler’s classic “The Chanukah Song” that won them the seal of approval from Sandler himself.
Sandler’s original, a song he debuted on “Saturday Night Live” in 1994, was a pretty innovative idea. Sandler begins by noting that the holiday season is stuffed with Christmas songs, but there aren’t a lot of Hanukkah songs, hence his song, written for the Jewish kids who don’t have anything fun to sing.
