It's Monday of Thanksgiving week here in the United States. So what does that mean? It means time to go shopping it's time for music!
Today I am joining up with other Music Moves Me bloggers (and you can join us at the linky below). We are a group of music loving bloggers who blog about music each Sunday or Monday (or even later in the week). If you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please! Otherwise, your post may be labeled "No Music".)
Our head host is Xmas Dolly, and our co-hosts are Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, joined by the knowledgeable Stacy of Stacy Uncorked and, last but not least, me.
Every
other week, we have a theme. On alternate weeks, we can blog on any
music theme we want, and this is one of those weeks. So, without further ado here are some songs mostly about Thanksgiving.
Bing Crosby and I've Got Plenty to be Thankful for. This is a 1942 hit from the movie Holiday Inn, lyrics and music by Irving Berlin.
This has little to do with Thanksgiving except its mention of apple pie, but it's a beautiful song. Here's Dionne Warwick and her 1968 As Long as There's an Apple Tree.
I can't leave without this now classic song: Adam Sandler and his 1992 The Turkey Song.
Finally, this is a good transition song from Thanksgiving. Over the River and Through the Woods is a classic Thanksgiving song I learned in elementary school in, of all places, New York City. Many change into a Christmas song. Sounds nice either way, although my childhood Thanksgiving travel was more on the #15 bus and D train than on a sleigh. This version is by the Good and the Beautiful Kids.
I have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, and I hope you do, too (wherever you live).
And that's a delicious Thanksgiving wrap.
Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me. If you live in the United States, my wish is for a happy and bountiful Thanksgiving.
...I wish you a Healthy and Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI also learned “Over the River” in elementary school.and did you know that “Jingle Bells” also started life as a Thanksgiving song? Great set. Happy Thanksgiving.

ReplyDeleteGreat songs. Love Johnny Cash's prayer. So very beautiful. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteGreat songs and love that Bing song and Cash. The last song is fitting for Thanksgiving
ReplyDeleteThose are great. Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteAdam Sandler’s song is so bad, but that’s what makes it funny.
ReplyDeleteI've got plenty to be thankful for as well. I love Johnny Cash's Thanksgiving Prayer. Over the Mountains and Through the Woods bring back fond childhood memories. Fabulous set, Alana. Have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving, my dear! xo
ReplyDeleteLovely wrap up to MMM with the beautiful thanksgiving song dear Alana. Loved it. Had never heard it before, though sounds tad familiar.
ReplyDeleteSo much to be grateful for. I'm back after a hiatus and lovely to see all of you and so very grateful for my friends in blogosphere.
Love and cheer!
Oh wow, I'm so happy to discover this linky still exists! I occasionally joined it many years ago and thought it'd been discontinued. I love your thanksgiving theme.
