Get Ready To Be Thankful For This Terrible, Terrible Thanksgiving Song I Just Remembered Exists
You are welcome.
Happy Weekend!
As you are all surely getting into the spirit of Thanksgiving/planning out how to gracefully exit certain conversations with certain relatives, I thought we’d pregame here a bit today with the single greatest Thanksgiving song of all time … “It’s Thanksgiving” by Nicole Westbrook.
This banger was produced 11 years ago (so rude!) by Patrice Wilson, the same rich-kid-exploiting weirdo who brought us “Friday” by Rebecca Black (who is actually pretty good now!), which I think means it is now legally a classic, even if I am the only one who remembers it.
I mean, she sings into a turkey leg and has a weird Thanksgiving party with all children and one adult man in a turkey costume. What is better than that?
That’s not all I’m giving you to be thankful for this weekend, either. Because my friend threw an absolutely batshit 18th birthday party for her cat, Gertie, this week, complete with lottery tickets and a “trip” to a cat strip club … and there is video.

Speaking of Mike Johnson's queasy belly rumblings at the thought of 2 gym bunnies holding hands at Applebee's I am reminded of just how transgressive Pete Shelley's anthem Homosapien was in the 80s. I mean, it **still is** radical and in your face and a terror to the right wing 40 years later. We are 2 generations of human life past the day BBC banned it and 34% of the USA still freaks out at the mere existence of QTs right alongside their theocratic Speaker.
If it was up to me, I'd be standing on the sidewalk outside Johnson's house blasting this from a boom box over my head until Kelly pokes her head out the 2nd story window, giggles and then runs past Mike telling him she never really believed in heterosexuality anyway as she vaults through the front door.
I'm the cruiser. You're the loser.
Can't say much about you, sir,
Cept maybe
You're homosapien too.
Take your skin off
and are you homosapien too?
All the gods in the sky way up high
see the world spinning 'round
But the sun and the moon and the stars
are so far from the ground
And the world is so wrong
that I hope that I'll be
strong enough
For we are each on our own
the only hate-killer known
is just love
Don't try to classify us
like we're animals in the zoo
I'd like you to try, stop the lie,
and be homosapien too
