What are some good Thanksgiving songs to play out?

[LastEdgeOnEarth]

Had lots of Halloween songs, and got plenty of x-mas songs to play, but I need some x-giving theme songs....song about thanks or with the word "thanks" or "giving" in them. Or the word "turkey".

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Adam Sandler has one called "The Thanksgiving Song"

I haven't listened to it since I was in middle school but I remember it being pretty funny.

Let's Talk Turkey by Ima Robot

Something tells me your sense of humor hasn't changed much.

Pretty much how I feel about this holiday. My suggestions:

Robbie Robertson, Music for the Native Americans
Robbie Robertson, Contact from the Underworld of Redboy

Over The River And Through The Wood - Traditional
Fall On Me - R.E.M.

 

[lazarus]

Speaking of R.E.M., how about Cuyahoga?

Let's put our heads together and start a new country up
Our father's father's father tried, erased the parts he didn't like
Let's try to fill it in, bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red

This is where we walked, this is where we swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir

This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red
And we gathered up our friends, bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me, underneath the river bed

Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone

Let's put our heads together, start a new country up,
Underneath the river bed we burned the river down
This is where they walked, swam, hunted, danced and sang,
Take a picture here, take a souvenir

Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone

Rewrite the book and rule the pages, saving face, secured in faith
Bury, burn the waste behind you

This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
We are not your allies, we can not defend

Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone

To play out? I don't know what that means, "to play out." To end the show? Fine. We'll do it live. WE'LL DO IT LIVE! FUCK IT! I'LL WRITE IT AND WE'LL DO IT LIVE!

FUCKING THING SUCKS!

Speaking of R.E.M., how about Cuyahoga?

Did your family sit around and watch polluted rivers burn on Thanksgiving?

What a bizarre tradition!

[HeartlandGirl]

Let's Talk Turkey by Ima Robot

Good tune.

Dang, that's what I was gonna suggest! I thought I was the only one who listened to Ima Robot.

 

[corianderstem]

I saw them open up for Duran Duran in .... '05, I think it was? I thought they were pretty good, but Let's Talk Turkey is the only song of theirs I know.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I discovered Ima Robot when their song "A Is for Action" was used in a video game I loved (SSX 3). Definitely check that song out if you get a chance. It's highly enjoyable, fast paced craziness.

 

[LemonMelon]

Members of Ima Robot have worked with Beck in the past, so that's how I know of them.

Turkey in the Straw is a song that comes to mind
