Back in 1997 Sarah McLaughlin and Ana Gasteyer performed the greatest Thanksgiving song ever on SNL. I've sent it out year after year to folks but lost the file somewhere along the line.
Alas -- I found it again tonight.
So ladies and gentleman -- get ready for:
We gather together
For yams, beans, and cranberry sauce.
But have you given much thought lately
To the turkey holocaust?
200 million noble birds
Slaughtered every fall.
Ainüt no difference between Hitler, Stalin,
And the folks at Butterball, Butterball.
So set your tables, America
From Birmingham to Branson.
But when you carve that turkey
You're a finger lickin' Charlie Manson.
Enjoy your pumpkin pie,
Your buttery Idaho spuds,
Grandma's chestnut stuffing,
And a turkey basted in blood.
Basted in blood
Basted in blood
Basted in blood
Enjoy your turkey, enjoy...
Basted in blood
Basted in blood
Basted in blood
Basted in blood
Basted in blood
Basted in blood.
''You're a finger lickin' Charlie Manson''
I loved this line:)

That was great, Perhaps PETA should adopt it as their theme song for the holidays.
