Today's Thanksgiving song is "Nicotine and Gravy" by Beck. You can think about this song as you're having gravy with your turkey.
Like many of Beck's songs, the lyrics are completely nonsense: "Her left eye is lazy/She looks so Israeli/Nicotine and Gravy". Beck has also admitted that he'll adlib "scratch" vocals that fill in space. To me, it's always interesting that he can say complete nonsense, but the songs still sound really good. A friend was telling me once that there's a website where they make pictures based on Beck lyrics, like "Mouthwash Jukebox Gasoline" from Devil's Haircut. And the picture would be an old school gas station and there are gas pumps plugged into the side of a jukebox which is filled with blue liquid. Too bad she didn't remember the URL. I feel like this song would also make a few good pictures.
