All variations center on the theme of Jewish children feeling alienated during the Christmas season, and Sandler's listing of Jewish celebrities both real and fictional as a way of sympathizing with their situation. Sandler also makes reference to the Carnegie Deli , a famed Jewish restaurant in New York City closed in , and mentions that "you don't need" two holiday songs that do not mention Christmas: " Deck the Halls ," a celebration of the Pagan holiday of Yule ; and " Jingle Bell Rock ," a rockabilly winter song. During the final verse, performed originally on Saturday Night Live and on a radio cut , Sandler sings the line "Drink your gin and tonic-ah , but don't smoke marijuan-icah ". On the uncut album version, and during various concert appearances, the line was changed to "Drink your gin and tonic-ah , and smoke your marijuan-icah ". While this version is not played on radio stations , the music video shows a background screen showing a picture of Sandler licking his lips as the Jennifer Connelly lyric is sung, with shocked laughter coming from the audience. This version is hidden about four minutes after the edited version on the Eight Crazy Nights soundtrack.

And action, Dan! Fuck those cars. You should… [cheers and applause] I have one. I have an electric car. Watch out.
The results are almost always either a smile or a laugh. We first heard this song in the movie, The Wedding Singer, and watching Sandler scream his head off was nothing short of fantastic. This song is about the simple things about love. It was sweet; the lyrics were just right.
