The sound quality is not the best, but I also enjoy watching list mate  
Katie Cavera and CJ do this tune:

Dear  Gary,
"(I'm Spending) Hanukkah In Santa Monica" was recorded on 26 October  1999 
at Sound On Sound Recording, New York, NY.
A new recording produced by  pianist Rob Fisher.
(I have the band personnel if you want it.)
The song  was written by Lehrer for Garrison Keillor's short-lived Saturday 
radio show,  'The American Radio Company'.
It was sung on that show in December 1990 and  December 1992 by Ivy Austin 
backed by Rob Fisher and His Coffee Club  Orchestra.
According to the notes on my 3-CD boxed set ('The Remains Of Tom  Lehrer'. 
Warner Archives Rhino R2 79831) Garrison pointed out "that there just  
aren't any popular Hanukkah songs, because no Gentile songwriter ever thought  
about writing one, and the great Jewish songwriters were busy writing  
Christmas songs." 
The wonderful CD set containing 74 songs and released in  2000 also 
includes a magnificent 80-page hardcover booklet that contains the  lyrics for 46 
Lehrer songs, including this one.
Very kind regards,
Bill.  
Who saw a young Tom Lehrer on stage during his 3-month 1959 Australian-New  
Zealand tour.
