Is Adam Sandler's Hanukkah song against scripture?

[mystic]

This topic just came up here between my son, his mom and myself as she called him into her room to listen and laugh along with the song. I was telling them that Hanukkah is a Holy celebration and no song should be made about it where people drinking in bars and at parties find it funny, am I mistaken?

Edit: Or maybe better question might be is it appropriate for Hanukkah which my research shows is a Holy Festival not a partying time?

Sandler is Jewish, so he just made a (typically Sandler) silly song about Chanukkah. And since Chanukkah is not a commanded feast day, but is a happy celebration, I'd say other than his saying it's ok to get high to celebrate it near the end of the song it's ok. Not my kind of song; in fact, I'd never listened to all of it before. I had to go to You-Tube and listen to it (mercifully it's short) to give you a fair answer. So call it wrong because of that one comment about "smoking your Marijuanika." That wasn't appropriate for a feast celebrating God's deliverance yet again of the faithful of His people.

Thanks, actually I always enjoy some of Adam's movies but somehow yes, that last verse didn't appear to me to be in line with Chanukkah which is why I asked, not to knock him personally. It reminded me of a question I had posted on Sukkot observance with some folks as you had stated "yukking it up" as some kinda party. That is how this song strikes me as a party song.
