Future Thanksgiving Standards

Because of a self-induced, mashed potato coma, I never posted any possible future Thanksgiving Day songs that you and your loved-ones might want to glance lovingly at one another and sing. The following song is NOT one of those songs.
For all you guys out there who've been expelled from the kitchen or who've tossed yourselves in front of the television for the duration with some of your other man-friends? Here's YOUR song:

Bigedude33 - The Thankful Thanksgiving Song (Boobies and Beer, not Adam Sandler's)


Being as how the backbone of his blog is the celebration of novelty music in the vein of Dr. Demento, THIS song is EXACTLY the kind of stuff you'd expect to find here....and here it is:

Totally Jeremy - Turkey Murder


While this isn't the best T-Day song by any means, those same guys locked out of the kitchen and getting nostalgic about the 'good old days' will find this whole video easy on the eyes. And the song's kinda cute too.
Whatever Hollywood - Thanksgiving Song


MC Hammer Parody - Can't Stuff This


While we're 'dishing out' the parodies (yes, it was totally intentional), here's another serving.

Thanksgiving Song - Eat On



Adam Sandler - Thanksgiving Song
While it's not the original video(because of copyright), here's a random vid with the audio.


To end this year's Thanksgiving song list, I'd like to present you with a catchy little song from Bison Films that's one of the few Thanksgiving songs that's NOT called 'Thanksgiving Song'. Instead it's called 'Gobble Gobble' and it goes like this:

Spencer the Gardener - Gobble Gobble


That wraps up our Thanksgiving posts for this year! If there's a Thanksgiving classic that you and YOUR family can't wait to gather 'round, lock arms, hold hands and sing like some kinda bad '80s sitcom feel-good end-song just before the credits? PLEASE send me a link and we'll make sure that everyone gets the opportunity to add yet another 'dish' (yeah...did it again) to the constantly expanding palette of Thanksgiving Day future-classics!
Happy Belated Thanksgiving Day everyone and take care,

JC Van Luyn - Turkey Town (Original Thanksgiving Song 2009)

Over the last couple of weeks I've been posting unique or relatively obscure Christmas songs to a friend of mine on his Facebook page. This friend has THOUSANDS of Christmas songs and even takes an entire week off during Thanksgiving in order to decorate his home while jamming to his favorite winter tunes.
That got me thinking about Thanksgiving and why there aren't any 'turkey day' standards that we all gather 'round the mashed potatoes to rejoice in song.
After some clickety-clacking (this is a euphimism I use for typing because of the sound fast typists' fingers make on the keyboard) on YouTube, I discovered a small, wicker cornucopia of Thanksgiving songs that will either make you smile a little or make you wish I'd never even bothered.
Here's the first for tonight as the midnight hour approaches and the unofficial 'Fat Kid Day' prepares to assault us with my favorite thing to eat...FOOD! LOTS of it!

Jack Savoretti - Dr. Frankenstein

Official Site: Jack Savoretti

I'd never heard of Jack Savoretti before. After typing various classic old-school monsters like the wolfman, the mummy and dracula into Songza with no really interesting discoveries, I gave Frankenstein a shot. If it wasn't for Frankenstein, I would never have had the opportunity to listen to Jack Savoretti and that, my friends, would've been a damn shame. Savoretti's voice is just hard to resist. Sounding like someone who's just beginning to develop a world-weary wisdom that we'll all live vicariously through, Savoretti will take you to places both personal and magical. After listening to just a couple of songs, I'm truly enjoying the man's work. He's one of those performers that you'll almost immediately want to listen to for those days when you've got a lot on your mind and you just kind of want to mentally set sail to clear space for your thoughts on life during a lazy afternoon on a beautiful day.
I know it's a week late, but I just HAD to slip in a nod to my favorite holiday before it became too late.
Just thought it was funny that I discovered something so beautiful because of a monster.
Happy belated Halloween everyone!
