What the Hell Happened to Me? is the second studio album by Adam Sandler.^[1] It contains the official recording of "The Chanukah Song" (recorded live at UCSB), which has become a holiday staple and one of the best-known works by Sandler. The song hit #80 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #25 on the US Modern Rock charts. The album spent 57 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart and peaked at #18.^[2] The album also has been certified double-platinum, and as of 2011, has sold over 2,124,000 copies in the US. That makes it the best-selling comedy album since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991.^[3] The "Excited Southerner" skits on the album are early versions of what would end up being his character 'Bobby Boucher' in 1998's The Waterboy.

Sandler went on a 21-day US tour to support the album,^[4] complete with a live backing band. The live performance from June 29, 1996 was aired as an hour long special on HBO.^[5]
