10 Songs for Thanksgiving and Black Friday

I wanted to do a special list this year, but not a traditional Thanksgiving list. Thanks to my wife Anne for the idea. Here are 10 songs loosely about overconsumption, gluttony, greed, shopping and the like. Happy Black Friday everyone! Oh and I almost included Steely Dan’s “Black Friday” (and perhaps should have), but didn’t for whatever reason. And please remember to support your local independent stores if you happen to live near them!

  1. The Bags – “Gluttony”

  2. Pet Shop Boys – “Shopping”

  3. MDC – “Business on Parade”

  4. Bis – “Shopaholic”

  5. Jellyfish – “Glutton of Sympathy”

  6. The Undertones – “Window Shopping for New Clothes”

  7. The Smiths – “Shoplifters of the World Unite”

  8. The Consumers – “Media Ogre”

  9. Carcass – “Exhume to Consume”

  10. Super Furry Animals – “Neo Consumer”
