"We Want Some Pussy" 2 Live Crew

Eric, my friend Elicia said that if you need to buy a pie go to the Shoo Fly Pie company on California.

"Slice where you live like Pie" - Don Caballero
"Chocolate Shake" - Duke Ellington

I'm pretty sure he can speak for himself, but last I heard, EM didn't live here anymore.

"MacArthur Park"- Donna Summer..."someone left the cake out in the rain..."

"Candy Jail"- Silver Jews

and even though it's a kids song Ralph Covert's "Peggy's Pie Parlour Polka" is infectious...as perfect a song for a pie event as I can think of.

Black Juju- Alice Cooper

Great song about eating too much candy and having to go to the dentist to get a tooth pulled.

I thought that was "Unfinished Sweet"

Ahhhh....yes. My bad.

Good call but I'd go with the original by Richard Harris. So beautifully over the top.

I haven't - is there a link?

Thanks, everyone, for all the great ideas. Sadly, my Internet at home went down shortly before I was gonna buy a lot of those songs on iTunes, and I can't download any software on my work laptop, so I made the mix with what I already had on hand. Track listing:

PIE MIX
1. Key Lime Pie - Kenny Chesney
2. Cherry Pie - Warrant
3. Custard Pie - Led Zeppelin
4. Banana Puddin' - Southern Culture on the Skids
5. Porcupine Pie - Neil Diamond
6. Rhubarb Pie - John Fogerty
7. Candy Man - Roy Orbison
8. Fat Cakes - Jimmy McGriff
9. Candy Everybody Wants - 10,000 Maniacs
10. Sex and Candy - Marcy Playground
11. Marshmallow World - Darlene Love
12. Ice Cream Man - Tom Waits
13. Wild Honey Pie - the Beatles

p.s. just kidding about Kenny Chesney. Track 1 is I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) by the Four Tops.

Smashing Pumpkins - Chocolate Wave/Fudge Overboard

How did I miss that Pumpkins song? God dammit! Funny.

At the moment, my girlfriend is at the pie party while I sit at home with a sprained back. The mix was my contribution, and I was happy enough with it that it may be a couple changes away from being one of those mixes that you re-distribute.

Most importantly, thanks again everyone for all the awesome ideas. When my home Internet gets going again, I'm gonna buy a lot of those songs.

that's some poor boarding there

check my sig.

[sarcasm] Nate, you're a bad person who will rot in hell.[/sarcasm]

I'm an idiot. Thanks and carry on. You, sir, are a superhero among music snobs.

golden smog (tweedy) - pecan pie

'just a taste of pecan pie
that is all i need'

a song about a pie. no frills, no innuendo. unlike that obvious stones song that nobody mentioned either

Definitive version by Lonnie Donegan and his Skiffle Group:

Eric, you should come visit more often. Fun thread, everyone!

I know that, I've even pointed people at his brother's club. So Neener neener neener!
