LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Adam Sandler's classic 1994 holiday anthem "The Chanukah Song" has gotten a makeover for 2015.

Rolling Stone magazine said the comic actor and Saturday Night Live alum played "The Chanukah Song Part 4" at the New York Comedy Festival before recording an official video during a stand-up show at San Diego's Civic Theatre. The clip was posted on YouTube Wednesday.

This marks the first time Sandler has updated the track in 13 years. The latest version name-checks current Jewish celebrities such as Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Scarlett Johansson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Daniel Radcliffe and Adam Levine.

New lyrics include: "We may not have a cartoon with a reindeer that can talk / But we also don't have polio thanks to Dr. Jonas Salk / Smart Jew," and "Jared from Subway ... Goddamnit a Jew. But guess who's Jewish and can fix him? Lovelines' Dr. Drew."

The song also has lines like: "So drink your Jagerbomb-ukah / And smoke your medical chronic-ukah."
