Quick! Someone contact Adam Sandler! It's time to update Chanukah song!

 I remember as a child growing up in a mixed-religion household being surrounded by holiday music of all sorts.  One of my favorite's was Adam Sandler's Chanukah, a song where he tells all of the lonely Jewish kids not to lament because there is a long list of Jewish celebrities  who are Jewish just like them.  Every once in awhile, he'll alter one of the verses to include a new Jewish celebrity.  Well It's time for an update because American Pharoah was just named to the Forward 50, a list of the 50 most influential Jewish individuals, for the year 2015. Holy Moses! A Jewish horse! A Jewish horse named American 'Pharoah', nonetheless.

 I know this  announcment will raise some questions.  How can a horse be Jewish?  Is he circumcized?  How will they lift the chair for the Hora at his Bar mitzvah?  Ok ok.  Pharoah may not officially be Jewish, but his owner, Ahmed Zayat is, and being the first horse to win the the Triple Crown in 37 years it seemed appropriate to include him on the list.

Then I got thinking.  What other equestrians will be celebrating Chanukah this December. So here it is, the equestrian version of the Chanukah song.

Chanukah is a festival of lights.
Instead of one day of presents,
we get 8 crazy nights.
So when you feel like the only kid at the barn
without a Christmas tree,
Here's a list of other equestrians who are Jewish
just like you and meeeeeee!

 American Pharoah lights the menorah.
Ahmed Zayat spins a dradle on the floorah.

Guess who drinks Manischewitz,
dressage great, Robert Dover,
and Margie Engle at H.I.T.S.

Georgina Bloomberg's half Jewish,
and you know I'm half Jewish, too.
Put us both together and that's one horse crazy Jew!

So many Jews are in the horse biz.
George Morris isn't Jewish,
but I hear his accountant is.

So put on your yamaka.
Here comes Chanukah.
So much funakuh
to celebrate Chanukah.
So put your helmet onukah
and ride a lipizzanukah,
but only if you wanukah
have a happy happy happy happy Chanukah!
