“Just eat it” –A Song for Thanksgiving Leftovers: “Eat It” by Weird Al Yankovic

On your third day of turkey?

Had it baked boiled, fricasseed, fried, tetrazzini, a la mode?

You might be in the mood for Weird Al Yankovic’s parody of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.”

Reportedly, Yankovic wasn’t sure what kind of reaction he’d get from the King of Pop when he submitted the lyrics.

Jackson thought it was funny, and let him proceed. Makes me think a little better of him, somehow.

“Eat It” is available for free download on Freegal. And so is Michael Jackson’s song, “Beat It.”
