Don't forget Making Pies, by Patty Griffin.

I love your idea, and would be happy to buy a pie and support CancerCare sometime after you calm down a little. My mom has ovarian cancer, and her pecan pies are one of my favorite things. I thought about making one for Thanksgiving (she's in England, and can't come, but I'm hosting the rest of the family), but am sticking to pumpkin and apple. Somehow I don't feel I can live up to hers, you know?
Anyway, I think you're awesome.

it turns out that the song "i can't say no" from Oklahoma does not have "pie" in it. but they should. take a look! -

"Whut you goin' to do when a feller gits flirty, and starts to talk purty?
Whut you goin' to do?
S'posin' 'at he says 'at yer lips're like cherries, er roses, er berries?
Whut you goin' to do?
S'posin' 'at he says 'at you're sweeter 'n cream,
And he's gotta have cream er die?
Whut you goin' to do when he talks that way,
Spit in his eye?"

anyway,

xoxo. good luck, have fun, the rest.

ALSO, "Custard Pie" by none other than Led Zeppelin. You're even making custard pies of a sort! I'll bring it over with me later so we can listen.

dmf: one song from Oklahoma! does have "pie" in it, the Cockeyed Optimist song:
"I'm as corny as Kansas in August, I'm as normal as blueberry pie"

(the line that's missing is "I'm as straight as a 3-dollar bill")

d'oh, correction. that song is from "South Pacific" and it's that "wonderful guy" song.

there is something about "gay as a daisy in may" though
