Ray Davies was impressed by American Thanksgiving. So much so, he wrote a song about it. “Thanksgiving Day” was initially released on a benefit EP of the same name, and then Davies’ solo album Other People’s Lives. Here’s a bit of the lyrics:
Are you going on Thanksgiving Day
To those family celebrations?
Passing on knowledge down through the years
At the gathering of generationsEvery year it’s the same routine
All over, all over
Come on over, it’s Thanksgiving Day
Here are the full lyrics, and a video of Davies explaining and performing the song.
