A Geese Song Played During The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

Move aside, turkey — there's a new fowl in town this Thanksgiving. In a brief moment during NBC's livestream of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this morning, the network played a snippet of Geese's "Cobra" as a dog-shaped float advertising a dog food brand graced the screen. The needle drop might not be that surprising in light of some of the major co-signs the Brooklyn band have been receiving, but it's still pretty impressive considering they're still on an indie label (at least for now).

While Geese weren't actually present at the parade, live performers at this year's Thanksgiving celebration included Busta Rhymes (with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Lil Jon, Cynthia Erivo, Conan Gray, Mr. Fantasy, the Pretty Reckless, Debbie Gibson, KPop Demon Hunters’ Huntr/x, and Ship Of Theseus Foreigner.

Also PinkPantheress' "Illegal" soundtracked the Labubu float debut. See highlights below.
