MOSTLY MUSICAL NOTES

On Nov. 17, Adam Sandler performed
a new version of "The Chanukah Song"
(No. 4) at a New York charity benefit.
Videos of the performance went viral,
but within two days Warner Music had
all of them removed from the Internet.
No word yet if an official perfor-
mance video will be released before
Chanukah 2015; in the meantime, the
full lyrics can be found here: http://
tinyurl.com/owryuof. Almost all celebs
in the song are "first timers;' includ-
ing soccer star David Beckham, just
named People's 2015 "Sexiest Man of
the Year" (Sandler correctly notes that
Beckham is "one quarter"— he had a
Jewish grandfather).
Sandler's next "Chanukah Song" may
include New Girl star Zooey Deschanel,
who US Weekly recently claimed con-
verted to Judaism just before mar-
rying producer Jacob Pechenik last
summer.
On Friday, Dec. 4, Nextflix will
release A Very Murray Christmas, a
comedy/musical special starring Bill
Murray. Set in a fancy New York hotel,

the special opens with Murray prepar-
ing to host a live, international holiday
broadcast. After a blizzard shuts down
the production, he makes the best of
the situation by singing and celebrat-
ing with friends, hotel employees and
anyone else who drops by, including
Rashida Jones, Paul Shaffer, Jason
Schwartzman and Maya Rudolph.
The special's trailer looks funny —
maybe they'll have a little Chanukah
bit.
On Sunday, Dec. 6, at 9 p.m. CBS
will broadcast a special Sinatra 100
— An All-Star GRAMMY Concert in
honor of Frank Sinatra's 100th birth-
day. The concert will be taped a few
days before broadcast and only a
handful of the scheduled performers'
names, all of whom are Grammy win-
