The National

"Sailors in Your Mouth" ('Bob's Burgers' video)

Morrissey, shield your eyes: Brooklyn indie rock institution the National have recorded a version of the Thanksgiving-themed song "Sailors in Your Mouth" for animated comedy Bob's Burgers.

The song is an ironically downcast piano ballad with lyrics that remind us of the true meaning of Thanksgiving: eating lots of gravy. The strange visuals portray the National as sailors in a gravy boat, and we watch them get poured onto a plate and eaten before they stage a concert while slowly being swallowed.
