It hasn’t happened since 1888….

…..and apparently it won’t happen again for another 25,000 years. But today in America, Thanksgiving has fallen on the same day as the Jewish feast of Hanukkah. So let’s celebrate with a 60s novelty hit that’s both typically Jewish and very American. I am neither Jewish nor American but have a great love of both cultures, especially when they’re combined. Jewish humour works best with an American accent. Which is why they’ve got Woody Allen, Billy Crystal, Jon Stewart, Larry David, Jerry Seinfeld, Sarah Silverman, Joan Rivers, Mel Brooks and Adam Sandler. And we’ve got David Baddiel.
