What is Thanksgiving Bend?

The Thanksgiving Bend pairs the Beans Greens chant with a living-room dance. Follow the shoulder taps, the hands by the head and the high arm swing in the sequence filmed by @ssipp74.

The chant goes back to the 2016 “You Name It” Thanksgiving meme. Hear how the meal list sounded in the VocalTeknix edit, then listen to the remix and watch the living-room routine.

  • On November 5, 2026, @djsaucedup posted the Beans Greens remix. Listen for the repeating pulse under the roll call of Thanksgiving dishes. (@djsaucedup on TikTok, Nov 5, 2026)
  • On November 6, @ssipp74 posted a living-room take on the Thanksgiving Bend. The shoulder taps, low bend and high reach in this clip are the moves used here. (@ssipp74 on TikTok, Nov 6, 2026)

Make your own Beans Greens video

Choose a photo that leaves room for the bend

Use a front-facing photo of one adult. A waist-up or full-body shot gives the dancer visible shoulders and an outfit to carry into the clip. The raised-arm section is easier to recognize when a hood, phone or another person is not covering the face.

Match the opening beat when you post

For a group chat, download the version with the original sound. For TikTok or Reels, take the silent version and select the track inside the app. Start at the first shoulder tap, then scrub forward to check that both hands rise beside the head together.

If your dance looks or sounds off

The face is hard to recognize during the lean.
Start with an evenly lit photo taken straight on. A side profile or a phone held in front of the face gives the animation less detail to work with.
I hear two copies of the song after uploading.
Use the silent download with the sound from the app’s library. If you already imported the original-sound video, turn its clip volume down before adding the track.
