Turkey and Piggy live side by side in the barnyard. They love to sing together and especially like singing The Gobble-Oink Song (sung to the tune of "Stayin Alive"). Piggy doesn't quite understand the importance of the approaching Thanksgiving Day, but Turkey gets the message and announces it is his opinion that folks should eat more ham!
