Big Ol' Buns, The Itsy-Bitsy Stripper, I Hate Sleepovers, Lifting Up The Skirt Of The Night and Not Bad For Three Kids: excellent starter songs for the uninitiated. Spanning ten seasons, thus far, FOX's animated nonpareil, Bob's Burgers, has gifted sing-along and cartoon enthusiasts well over 200 original songs and jingles.

Not since the emergence of the orchestral, Disney soundtracks beginning in the 1930s and persisting to this day, and Rodgers and Hammerstein's danceable musicals of the 1940s and 1950s, have characters spontaneously bursting into Broadway-quality song been so expected and, more importantly, welcomed. Cut to media's modern-era and Family Guy reigns supreme in episodic-TV musicals.

However, Family Guy, Disney, and Rodgers and Hammerstein don't do Thanksgiving songs. Nobody does, not notably. Even Seth MacFarlane overlooked the gaping void of Thanksgiving carols. Thereon lies the brilliant crown, setting Bob's Burgers as a, relatively, new centerpiece of holiday-TV tradition.

Christmas has so many delightful ditties, most of us can't listen enough throughout The Holidays: well, until December 25th, around 4:00p.m.. Hallowe'en has its formidable soundtrack: Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (Disney) plus all the Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie and The Hanted Mansion's Grim Grinning Ghosts (Disney) your Pandora Hallowe'en Station can churn: well, until October 31st, around 9:30p.m.. That leaves Thanksgiving and it needs some pop-culture love. So, if the inimitable writers and performers at Bob's Burgers are passing around the love, we'll take a big, steamy ladleful!
