About these clean Thanksgiving songs
There aren't many songs actually about Thanksgiving, so a good Thanksgiving playlist is really about the mood: warm, upbeat songs that three generations can enjoy. This one leans on classic soul and funk that suits cooking, dinner and the after-dinner dancing.
Add the songs your family always asks for: paste them into Bleeplist and it looks for a clean version of each.
Clean means the swear words are removed — not that every song's themes suit every age. Clean uploads are labelled by whoever posted them. Preview before you play it to kids, and test it on your school's network (some schools block videos in YouTube Restricted Mode).
