Adam Sandler’s “Chanukah Song,” a comedic anthem for Jewish kids who feel marginalized by Christmas cheer, rapidly became a song heard (and sometimes embraced) by Gentiles as well after it aired on Saturday Night Live in 1996. Sandler’s habit of making goofy faces and funny voices add a certain theatrical luster to the song, but nothing sticks as much as the brilliant linguistic device of adding the suffix -ikah to every word you couldn’t be bothered to figure out a rhyme for.
