Adam Sandler questioned over ‘SNL: 50’ song calling out antisemitic musician
New York Post ^ | Aug. 26, 2025 | Alexandra Bellusci

Adam Sandler is setting the record straight on the meaning behind a scathing lyric in his “SNL:50” song. During the 50th anniversary special of “Saturday Night Live,” the comedian, 58, sang an original track titled “50 Years.” Sandler co-wrote “50 Years” alongside “SNL” writer Dan Bulla.

In the track, the “Happy Gilmore” star belted out: “50 years of finding out your favorite musician is antisemitic.” During an interview with Vulture, Sandler was asked if he had a certain musician in mind when writing the line.

I doubt it was Kanye West, he hasn't been around close to 50 years. He also seems bipolar, he could say a lot of crazy things when manic. More likely Pink Floyd.

The history from 1948 to now, is not very favorable to the
Arabs on the West Bank and in Gaza, as it relates to trying
to create a nation for themselves, and live in peace with
others.

Jordon, Lebanon, Egypt... and I believe the list goes on,
DO NOT WANT people who call themselves Palestinians.

In some ways they remind me of today’s democrats. Their
hatred knows no limitations at all.

They’ll out and out sacrifice their own children’s futures
for the cause, whatever that cause is.

Lower violence and death in Washington, D. C.? Oh who
cares, why it’s Trump going unConstitutional, as if they
Left gave one hoot about it ever.

I remember when he was "The Trivia Deliquent" on the MTV show "Remote Control".

After all the bad things he’s said about Israel, that wouldn’t be the least bit surprising.

Maybe it was when Belushi arranged for Fear to play on SNL.

I don’t think Fear was antisemitic. But they were never a big band.

From the article it seems Kanye West was sure that line in Sandler’s song was about him.

Yo, “Ye”. He said ‘singer’ so you’re clear.

Ye’s so vain. He probably thought that song was about him, he’s so vain. I bet he thought that song was about him.

Probably not. He was embroiled in the Salman Rushdie fatwa controversy for a while but probably out of ignorance rather than malice.

Radio DJs mocked him for allegedly supporting the ayatollah, e.g. with parody titles like "Tea for the Killerman".

LOL! Warren Beatty, Cat Stevens or James Taylor. I think she had it bad for Walter Cronkite.

Absolutely drop-dead certain, 100% it was NOT Kanye. Roger Waters is the overwhelming favorite.
