Moron!
    Adam Sandler is a kick ass comedian.  So don't fit his songs to be religous.  
There is no hidden meaning, YOU READ TO MUCH INTO THINGS!
    Leave Sandler nonsense to just that!

Greetings:

If you're still working on this piece, which includes the following
anaylsis:

<quote>
"His drink, Jimmy Beam / His chaser, a beer / After that, various
alcohols"
Not quite sure. Perhaps it could mean that the "Old Man" was drunk, i.e.
his actions were not rational, but a result of mental
incapacitation- like the mob mentality of pogroms, etc. 
</quote>

Have you considered an analysis of how the alcoholic beverages fit in?

"His drink, Jimmy Beam / His chaser, a beer / After that, various
alcohols"

His drink, Jimmy Beam = Whiskey	(Irish immigrants to the USA?)
His chaser, a beer = German immigrants to the USA?
After that, various alcohols = the "melting pot" of U.S. immigration?

As more and more groups came to the U.S., a "pecking order" of sorts
developed, with the Jews occupying one of the lower levels, as
exemplified by a popular song of the early 20th century -- "If it Wasn't
For the Irish and the Jews" (released on Victor Records, c. 1915)

Later on:

"His eyes filled with tears of sadness / His heart was filled with grief
/ To soothe himself he drank a pint of Old
Granddad / And beat me like a side of beef."

Old Granddad = "conservative" ethnocentrism after the "liberal" (come
one, come all, come to Amerika) immigration wave, perhaps galvanized by
the Great Depression?

Towards the end of the "Goat Song":

 I'm not your friend, I don't even like you / I'm just not drunk,' he
said / To prove his point, he drank a bottle of grain alcohol / And beat
the fucking shit out of my head

Grain alcohol = distilled or "purified" Arayan race, or the ideal
thereof?  Post-war neo-Nazis?

Let me know if this is useful to you.

Regards, Xxxxx

Adam Sandler is a very strange and creative person who I don't think is that 
religiously deep.  I wouldn't be surprised if the man didn't even know about 
the 49-year calendar thing.  The "spraying with shit" part is hard to 
interpret because it doesn't mean anything except for goat spraying a bunch 
of people with shit.  All in all, I think you are mentally ill and should 
seek professional help.
