Oasis - Magic Pie
I don't think Noel was truly feeling the pie-ness in this effort. I've no idea what he's on about and it sounds like it's there just to rhyme and make an easy song title. 1/10
Eels - A Daisy Through Concrete
Much better, this one. You don't expect the pie here because it's assonance rather than full rhyme, and being the last word of the verse, E really punches it through and the pie hits you in the face. 8/10
Girls Aloud - Love Machine
No surprises with this pie (... as easy as ...) but the way it's delivered is top notch. Does the pie get extended with a few extra syllables, or is it the start of the chorus? 7/10
Don McLean - American Pie
So what's this pie all about then? Does she bake? The song never justifies its pie for me, and then repeats it over and over for the sake of an easy rhyme. Gallagher-esque, but more catchy. 3/10
Irving Berlin - Anything You Can Do (from Annie Get Your Gun)
Brilliant. Annie goes hitting the big note with a bang - "Can you bake a PIE?" - a little 'no' from Frank and the sad "Neither can I" reply. Of course she's sad; she wants a pie and nether of them has the ability to make one. 10/10
