What are some of the songs and music you listen to on Thanksgiving Day? I listened to Arlo Guthrie's classic Alice's Restaurant this morning when I put it on my MySpace profile. It's still a lot of fun, even though a lot of people have no idea what a local draft board is anymore.
Another favorite of mine is Thanksgiving Day by Ray Davies. I think Ray has a knack for writing lyrics that matter, that tell the story and really bring home the way it is on this holiday for many people.
Almost Thanksgiving Day by Graham Parker is a good one to spin today as well.
It's an instrumental, but Turkey Chase by Bob Dylan and friends off the Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid soundtrack album is a fitting prelude to eating the gobbler.
If you have enough energy to get up and dance after eating dinner, you could listen to Little Eva's song Turkey Trot.
Then, in the spirit of thankfulness, try The Scaffold's Thank You Very Much and The Kinks' Village Green Preservation Society, which has a great list of things to be thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
