Despite the song's enduring popularity, Sandler dismisses comparisons to Mariah Carey and continues to take pride in his holiday hit.

Adam Sandler revealed that Roseanne Barr was originally slated to sing his iconic 'Chanukah Song' on Saturday Night Live in 1994, but she insisted that Sandler perform it himself.
