A new YouTube video has taken the Internet by storm with over 9 million views. Often compared to Rebecca Black’s “Friday” music video, 12 year old Nicole Westbrook has come out with a new single called “It’s Thanksgiving.” Similarly to Rebecca Black’s “Friday,” the song begins with footage of a calendar before Nicole Westbrook proceeds to sing about how great Thanksgiving is. It’s horrible, but addicting at the same time.
Some highlights from the music video include:
The Music
The song consists of an upbeat tune, followed by lyrics that list off various Thanksgiving foods with some “oh oh ohs” thrown in there for good measure. I mean, nothing says high quality lyrics like listing off the months of various holidays.
“Oh oh oh it’s Thanksgiving. We we we we are gonna have a good time.
With a turkey, eh mash potatoes eh, and we we we are gonna have a good time.”
The Tweens
Don’t get me started on the fact that all of these tweens are wearing way too much makeup for their age group, but they all look freakishly over-excited about the mediocre food that they supposedly cooked themselves. Also, where is the parental supervision?

Definitely one of the most memorable moments of the video. It might be okay if you’re that crazy uncle at Thanksgiving that’s had a few too many drinks, but under any other circumstance it’s just plain embarrassing. It’s really the cherry on top of how awful this video is.
Patrice Wilson
If a random middle-aged man in a turkey costume showed up to my doorstep, I probably wouldn’t invite him in. Yes, this is the same producer from Rebecca Black’s “Friday” video. And yes, the singing is equally if not more terrible in “It’s Thanksgiving.” If you’re making your living off of singing and dancing with pre-teens that think they can sing, I think it’s time to start reevaluating your life.

Don’t get me started.
The Dancing
Just when you think the song can’t get any worse, they throw in the most awkward choreography possible.
