The National share Thanksgiving song with Bob's Burgers

The National have teamed up once again with the animated series ‘Bob’s Burgers’ to continue their tradition of releasing Turkey-themed songs with the show.

New song ‘Save The Bird’ comes after a series of previous Thanksgiving songs the band have released in collaboration with the show, including the ‘Give It To Teddy’, ‘Kill the Turkey’ and ‘Gravy Boat’.

“We’re honored to continue our Thanksgiving tradition with Bob’s Burgers with ‘Save The Bird,’ which was recorded at Public Hi-Fi in Austin and in my secluded dojo in Los Angeles,” the band’s Matt Berninger said in a statement. “It’s especially thrilling to have our brass section finally get credit for something. Also, I’d like to thank Tom for doing the dishes.”

You can watch the animated video for the song below.
