Did you know there’s a musician out there named Bob Burger? That’s not only a wonderful name, but a great opportunity for easy YouTube clicks. Some unassuming Kristen Schaal fan will go looking for a Louise clip, and end up down a rabbit (hat) hole of Bob Burger live videos, like his memorable take on “Vintage Tweed.”
Anyway, yesterday Vulture noted that the National have “covered” a gloomy Thanksgiving-themed song that will reappear in this Sunday’s episode of UPROXX favorite Bob’s Burgers. Somehow the writers topped “School is out/I can shout/Thank you, thank you, thank you” with “Kill, kill, kill, kill the turkey.” It continues the show’s strong musical pedigree, not only by booking top-notch guest musicians, like the National and St. Vincent, but also through writing original songs that are classic Simpsons-level good. Here are 10 of our favorites.
