I think the list of songs named after deserts would be much shorter. And less delicious. Fork and spoon drumroll please…
5. “Savoy Truffle” – The Beatles
-
Been on a White Album kick lately. This is a goofy Harrison song (a la Piggies), but it’s worth a listen occasionally.
4. “Sex and Candy” – Marcy Playground
Is it OK to like this song? Disco lemonade is so refreshing.
3. “Peaches and Cream” – John Butler Trio
Although this song doesn’t necessarily showcase it, John Butler is one of the best guitarists I’ve ever seen. This is a poignant song, made slightly less poignant by the revelation that Butler named his daugher Banjo.
2. “Custard Pie” – Led Zeppelin
As this rocking tune makes abundantly clear, Robert Plant loved pastries. Especially underage pastries.
1. “Magic Pie” – Oasis
Only on trivial lists like this should you find Oasis ranked ahead of The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. But I gotta admit, Be Here Now is incredibly underrated, and “Magic Pie” is one of the best songs on the disc.

What about Cherry Pie by Warrant?! Cannot accept that this didn’t make your list.
Surely you jest. I always imagined that Aussies lived in a peaceful utopia free of music from Warrant.
