Yeah, I agree that it’s a little suspicious that a Thanksgiving song — the only Thanksgiving Song — comes up as the song of the day just two weeks before Thanksgiving, and on the second day I do this. But that’s the breaks. It’s random.
Everybody knows this one, and even if it barely qualifies as a song, you know you knew every word the Monday after you first saw Adam Sandler sing it on Saturday Night Live. Sandler first performed the song on Nov. 20, 1992, and the album came out in time for Thanksgiving 1993, when he reprised it as Bruce Springsteen.
The Thanksgiving Song certainly isn’t the best Sandler bit, but it’s certainly not the most annoying either. If you used to watch SNL as much as I did in junior high and high school, or if you used to listen to this album as much as my friends and I did around the same time, it’s hard not to get a little smile out of this tune.
