Happy Thanksgiving, Amoeblog readers! Above is Gloria Gobbler's reinterpretation of "You Can't Hurry Love" from a turkey's perspective, with reworked lines such as, "You can't gobble me on Thanksgiving Day. Why not eat tofu? Feed yourself the vegan way." And if you enjoy Thanksgiving themed, turkey perspective song parodies done to animation, check out the reworking of MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" -- "U Can't Stuff This" or The Giblets' reinterpretation of Queen's "We Will Rock You" -- "We Will Eat You." And don't forget that tomorrow, Friday, November 27th, is when Amoeba kicks off its annual Holiday Toy Drive at all three Amoeba Music stores. When you come in to Amoeba over the next few weeks (cut off dates vary from store to store) we strongly encourage you to spread the love to those not as well off this year by bringing in a new, unwrapped toy for some needy child in your community.
And to help you feel even better about donating a toy for some poor kid, as a thank you for your generosity, Amoeba will give you a $2 coupon valid for any item over $3.99! All toys collected will be distributed to a local charity: Amoeba Hollywood will donate to Five Acres, Amoeba San Francisco will collect toys for Compass Community Services, and Amoeba Berkeley will provide toys to A Safe Place. For full details on the Amoeba toy drive run dates and the charities involved, click here.

Corny as it may sound to the cynics out there, I really appreciate the American holiday Thanksgiving Day which allows me time to contemplate all things special. And, despite recently getting laid off from my job of 11 years, I sincerely feel grateful/thankful for the blessings in my life at this time - my wife, my two lovely daughters, and my band who help me transcend all the B.S. and get lost in the music!
THIS WEBSITE IS CRAPPY
u guys have problems
I really don't understand why people, armed with some sense of security (cowardice?) of being anonymous as an online comment maker, have to be so negative and downright nasty. If they put that same energy into improving their grammar and writing skills the online world would be a better place. But on this holiday I am thankful that in this country we all have the freedom to express ourselves, no matter how ignorant or hateful we may come across. Happy Thanksgiving!
What other freedoms do you want to surrender? Having a "Giving of Thanks" is a fine idea regardless of distorted history. If this county can have an idiot President who says "Happy Ramadan" you had BETTER say "Happy Thanksgiving".
It was amazing to know dat i woke up tosumthing im thankful and there it was it was you.
