Christmas gets all of the great songs- "The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year", "This Christmas, "Christmas in Hollis", "Jingle Balls", etc. Halloween has "Monster Mash", the 4th of July has "Stars and Stripes Forever".
But Thanksgiving? Not much that I can think of at the moment.

It has a pretty kick ass trailer, though.

Thanksgiving is a ancient holiday of American Calvinist orgin, it doesn't really lend itself to anything but hymns. It also didn't catch on outside of New England until 60 years ago The other holidays, are recent imports from cultures that had more profane traditions surounding their holidays. There's just nothing to latch on to, in the way that Christmas and Halloween have.
Well, there's this.
Which should truely explain the situation.

Well, there's Alice's Restaurant, which is only mildly amusing the first time you hear it and only becomes grating every time after that.
Okay, so Alice has a restaurant, but she lives in a church where she dumps all of her trash, so FIGHT THE DRAFT.

It would be some sort of feast music to accompany the Thanksgiving meal, but that kind of music is reserved for royalty or something.

My Thanksgiving is filled with the cool sounds of Sinatra and Dean Martin. I go for an Italian thing usually on Thanksgiving.

Come on, theres even a line that goes " I want to kill, kill kill kill kill". |

I say that "Eat It" by Weird Al Yankovic should be of the official Thanksgiving song.

You know, I was just thinking that same thing the other day. If I had any musical talent, I would come up with some.

I was thinking having the Macy's parade on in the background and it was all Christmas songs.

I looked this up on Wikipedia. Apparently, both "Jingle Bells" and "Sleigh Ride" were originally Thanksgiving songs that were adopted into Christmas Music. Which makes sense, as traveling to a relative's house is more of a Thanksgiving thing, than a Christmas thing.
