Weekend Update: Adam Sandler on Thanksgiving - SNL

Adam Sandler and Kevin Nealon sing a comical ditty celebrating Thanksgiving, how much he loves to eat turkey and peppering in facts that happen to rhyme with what he's talking about. [Season 18, 1992]

No song can capture the spirit of Thanksgiving like this song. God bless you, Adam Sandler.

It's 2020 and this song never gets old this time of year

[marlisslavin]

It's 2024 and I'm still watching this because it makes me laugh. 😆

[RichardTetta]

I have to admit, I didn't always "get" Adam Sandler when I was younger. Its taken age and wisdom for me to appreciate his brilliance.

[BostonKid]

I could listen to this 100 times on thanksgiving and still laugh ever single time.

I HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO ACTUALLY SEE THIS ON TV WHEN IT FIRST DROPPED . 31 THANKSGIVINGS LATER, I STILL PLAY IT ON THANKSGIVING . MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER EVEN PLAYS IT WHEN ITS NOT THANKSGIVING . IT BRIGHTENS UP THE DAY . THANKS ADAM FOR SUCH A MEMORABLE TUNE

[BasqueNYC]

The best is when Kevin comes in and sings the "Sammy Davis Jr. Only had one eye" parts still gets me

[pisssnot]

WOW 1:20 😱 it’s amazing! I actually really love the way he sings this!

[vlogily]

Wish Adam Sandler got a bunch of celebs together to sing an awkward version of this while they’re social distancing to cheer us all up just IMAGINE that!

[connorbrawley]

It’s 2024, I’m 22, my parents made me find this video and play it for everyone

[christinajones]

Every. Single.Year. This is played in our house. lol Just like foootball, this HAS to be played on Thanksgiving.

[catchmeinthebreeze]

Woke up today in 2023 and searched this! Every year this is GOLD🤣💛

[annabellvsks]

My dad keeps singing this song.




*A turkey for me a turkey for you*

[wht]

My principal sang this after the announcements

[marionmcarthur]

I play this every year, still makes me laugh.

[SunAndMirror]

kevin nealon couldnt go high as adam but hit the octave almost right on and harmonized the last note well. i didnt know he had any musical training at all but clearly he does

When Adam & Kevin did this song as a comedy bit on Weekend Update, I'm sure neither of them had any idea that the song would go on to be a beloved part of many people's Thanksgiving celebration. I have a feeling that The Turkey Song will prove to be a timeless classic that will still be enjoyed years after Adam & Kevin are gone.

If i'm ever asked to say a prayer at Thanksgiving, I'm singing this song! lol
