Sheldon Mashugana and Crystal Carr bring humour, catchy melodies and holiday mischief together on “It’s Turkey Day,” an upbeat comedy single celebrating Thanksgiving in its own unconventional way. The track follows Sheldon and Crystal as they chase a turkey through the holiday, with a visit to a Dallas Cowboys game and plenty of cheeky fart jokes along the way. Built around laughter, food and the familiar traditions of Thanksgiving, the song offers a lighthearted take on one of America’s best-known holidays.
The collaboration pairs Sheldon’s comedic spoken-word moments with Crystal’s upbeat melodic vocals. Their different approaches give the track its character, moving between funny musical interjections and a lively vocal melody. Both artists contributed to the songwriting, while Crystal Carr and Justin Pierce created the music. The production also uses doubled-up lyrics to give the recording a distinctive sound and add emphasis to its comedic moments.
The idea came from Dean Morgan, who performs under the name Sheldon Mashugana. He wanted to write a song about Thanksgiving itself, bringing together the simple things that make the holiday familiar: spending time with family, enjoying life and eating plenty of food. The result is a playful story that follows the pair’s pursuit of a turkey, with comedy woven throughout rather than treating the holiday as a conventional seasonal theme.
The track was recorded in Atlanta, Georgia, where Crystal has connections and people she knows, before being mixed at Justin Pierce Music in Dallas, Texas. Justin Pierce also handled production alongside Crystal, continuing his creative partnership with Sheldon. The recording approach, particularly the doubled vocals and Sheldon’s humorous contributions, helped shape the song’s lively and deliberately comedic character.
Sheldon Mashugana is the comedic alter ego of Dallas-based performer Dean Morgan, whose work includes a catalogue of 18 slapstick comedy films on YouTube. Through the character, Morgan has developed a goofy, feel-good style designed to give audiences a break from everyday pressures. His approach is rooted in the belief that entertainment can help bring a little more happiness into people’s lives. As Morgan puts it, “In today’s world there is a lot of depression and problems; Sheldon Mashugana makes things a lot nicer and happier.”
The release follows the duo’s recent take on “Monster Mash” and precedes their planned Christmas single, “Jingle Bells,” scheduled for November 1. Sheldon is also expected to work on a television show in Santa Fe over the coming months, while Crystal continues recording new music.
With “It’s Turkey Day,” Sheldon Mashugana and Crystal Carr offer a humorous addition to the holiday music season. Its story, playful production, and easygoing message keep the focus on enjoying the day, sharing food, and spending time with the people who matter.
