Adam Sandler's "The Thanksgiving Song", also known as "Happy Thanksgiving", first turned up on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update on November 21, 1992, sung as a duet with anchor Kevin Nealon. Sandler wrote it with Ian Maxtone-Graham and Robert Smigel, and it's a goofball tour of the holiday.
The idea was to make it a yearly ritual, with other cast members bringing new songs of their own, but the next year it was Sandler again, redoing the same tune as a Bruce Springsteen number. The take that stuck was taped live on July 25, 1993, at the Strand in Redondo Beach, California (Thanksgiving in midsummer, why not), and it went onto his debut album, They're All Gonna Laugh at You!, and out as a single. MTV worked it into Beavis and Butt-Head Do Thanksgiving in 1997.
