Persistent earworm alert CCXLIV

Since hearing it this morning on KDHX, I haven't been able to get The Laurie Berkner Band's "(I'm Gonna Eat) On Thanksgiving Day" out of my mind.  I don't mind, though.  Sometimes, it's fun to have a song in your head that doesn't have any hidden, complex meaning.  Lyrics about what you're going to eat on Thanksgiving Day?  Why not?  Berkner and company also do kids a service; hearing a whimsical, unpretentious song like this could make kids comfortable singing a cappella--in a round, no less.  If you make a mistake while singing it, there's no pressure.  You're not on trial, after all.  You're just singing about what you plan to eat.
