Now, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. And when it comes down do it, for me? It’s all about gratitude, family, friendship, love and of course, food. So, this week’s Top 5 Music Countdown is dedicated to this joyous holiday. And if your family happens to have a karaoke machine, this awesome list doubles as a Thanksgiving-themed karaoke playlist — so you can belt out and bond with your perfectly dysfunctional family. Fun, right?

5.  “Sweet Potatoe Pie“
-DominoDo you remember this guy? Popular in the 90s – early 2000s. Shamed for sharking Snoop Doggy Dogg’s rapping style.

4.  “November Rain”
-Guns N’ RosesDelightful symphonic rock ballad about the month of November. One of GNR’s longest songs and one of the most expensive music videos to make (at that time).

3.  “Eat It”
-Weird Al YankovicFood is good to eat.

2.  “Umbrella“
-Rihanna (feat. Jay-Z)Umbrellas symbolize protection, friendship and in some cultures, love.

1.  “Livin’ On a Prayer“
-Bon JoviQuintessential anthem rock about hard work, love and holding onto what we’ve got!

Post your top 5 songs of thanks! Go to Heather’s blog — GirlLovesMusic.wordpress.com — or post your list below. She could really use some gratitude… and love.

Gotta get down and dirty with some hot Brazilian electro-rock music!
5.  “Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death from Above”
-CSS

A little upbeat indie pop to keep the hipsters happy!
4.  “I Feel It All”
-Feist

French dance music will add some cool, international flair!
3.  “D.A.N.C.E.”
-Justice

A party isn’t complete without a little Danger Mouse in the mix, just avoid the overplayed “Crazy”.
2.  “Gone Daddy Gone”
-Gnarls Barkley

And finally, had to squeeze in some Jack White in there somewhere, of course!
1.  “Steady As She Goes”
-The Raconteurs
