Adam Sandler is very well known today by
almost all generations as a comedian, actor, and filmmaker. But most people
overlook the important detail that he is also a very talented musician in his
own way. He mostly performs comedic music with him just singing and playing his
guitar. No big crowds, no special effects, and no other members.
When I was younger, my dad and I were on
our way to a Iowa Hawkeyes football game and we were listening to classic rock
music in the car. Then all of a sudden he decided to put on Lunch Lady Land, one of Adam Sandler's
most known songs, and I soon found myself going from a huge grin to laughing hysterically
for the next three minutes straight. It was probably one of the funniest songs
I had ever heard. I asked my dad who it was and when he told me Adam Sandler, I
looked at him and asked, "You mean the Waterboy?" and he laughed. I
had no idea Adam Sandler was a musician. I knew he was funny but I would have
never thought he would be even remotely musically talented.
When the song was over, my dad started
playing some of Adam Sandler's songs from his albums They're All Gonna Laugh at You and What the Hell Happened to Me? My other two favorite songs that I
heard were The HanukahSong and The Thanksgiving Song. I mean, who
wouldn't laugh at these lyrics?!
Lunch Lady Land:
Well I
dreamt one morning
That I woke up to see
All the pepperoni pizza
Was a-looking at me
It screamed, why do you burn me
And serve me up cold
I said I got the spatula
Just do what you're told
Then the liver & onions
Started joining the fight
And the chocolate pudding
Pushed me with all its might
And the chop suey slapped me
And it kicked me in the head
It's called revenge Lunchlady
Said the garlic bread
I said what did I do
To make you all so mad
They said you got flabby arms
And your breath is bad
Then the green beans said
You better run and hide
But then my friend sloppy joe came
And joined my side
He said if it wasn't for the Lunchlady
The kids wouldn't eatcha
You should be shakin' her hand
And sayin' please to meet ya
She gives you a purpose
And she gives you a goal
You should be kissin' her feet
And kissin' her mole
Now all the angry foods
Just leave me alone
And we all live together
In a happy home
That I woke up to see
All the pepperoni pizza
Was a-looking at me
It screamed, why do you burn me
And serve me up cold
I said I got the spatula
Just do what you're told
Then the liver & onions
Started joining the fight
And the chocolate pudding
Pushed me with all its might
And the chop suey slapped me
And it kicked me in the head
It's called revenge Lunchlady
Said the garlic bread
I said what did I do
To make you all so mad
They said you got flabby arms
And your breath is bad
Then the green beans said
You better run and hide
But then my friend sloppy joe came
And joined my side
He said if it wasn't for the Lunchlady
The kids wouldn't eatcha
You should be shakin' her hand
And sayin' please to meet ya
She gives you a purpose
And she gives you a goal
You should be kissin' her feet
And kissin' her mole
Now all the angry foods
Just leave me alone
And we all live together
In a happy home
And it's not just the lyircs, it's more the delivery and how he says
things. So if you ever need a good laugh, just listen to some of his stuff.
Don't count lyrics in your word count!
ReplyDeleteEvery holiday season, 104.5 fm plays The Hanukkah Song. So funny. I remember his days performing those on SNL.
