“It’s Turkey Day” is a comedy single from Sheldon Mashugana that’s all about Thanksgiving fun, silly moments, and the happiness of spending time with others. With the lighthearted spoken word of Dallas-born comedian Dean Morgan and the sparkle of Crystal Carr’s vocals, the song’s combination of comedy with music makes for a merry send-off without being too serious.
From unusual detours and a pursuit of a turkey, to a Dallas Cowboys game and a few dirty jokes, the song takes the listener through a comedically surreal Thanksgiving outing. Morgan does the vocal style for the spoken words, and provides some comedic personality to the track with some punchlines, while Carr provides the catchy melodic delivery and the upbeat vocals, which keep the track moving.
Musically “It’s Turkey Day” is quite simple and straightforward. The lyrics are repeated to help the song stick in one’s mind and the lively arrangement adds to the fun. The song was co-written by Morgan and Carr, with music written by Carr and Justin Pierce, and it’s a unique blend of the two that isn’t designed to make the concept more complicated than it is supposed to be.
The humor is intentionally crass, and some of the vulgar gags might not be for everyone who enjoys more refined comedy. That is the nature of the song, however! It is used primarily to amuse, provoke laughter and provide a brief respite from concerns.
“It’s Turkey Day” is a seasonal comedy song by Sheldon Mashugana about Thanksgiving, in a special way. It’s a fun selection for people who like some fun holiday tunes, some cheesy vocals and a bit of silliness in the spirit of the season.
