A Freberg Thanksgiving

It's that time o' year, and I think it's near-impossible on Thanksgiving to not celebrate with this classic by Stan Freberg, from his great Stan Freberg Presents the United States of America.

And so let's start the day off with his version of how Thanksgiving actually came about.

It begins with the local mayor decided a bit of self-promotion would help him if he threw a big gala and invited some Indians to show what a great guy he was.  Which leads to a Freberg gem, "Take an Indian to Lunch."
