Since there’s no real official Thanksgiving song, I’d like to nominate “Thanksgiving Waves,” from Eef Barzelay’s album “Bitter Honey.”

This suggestion is slightly tongue-in-cheek, as the lyrics are darkly disturbing and may give you nightmares.  Here, listen.

As a side note, I never really understood what the term “tongue-in-cheek” means.  If someone tries to tell you something while they have their tongue planted in their cheek, are they not to be trusted?  Have you actually tried to say something while poking your cheek with your tongue?  It’s impossible – and seems like it would be a tip off that you are saying something that might not be fully true.  Unless the term means something you say while planting your tongue in the cheek of the person you’re talking to, which is usually followed by a restraining order.
