Title: First Porcupine Pie discussion?
Post by: cutout on April 30, 2008, 07:09:30 PM: A few years ago, Tom declared "The Load-Out" as the worst song of all time. A couple years later, callers voted again and Tom declared the new worst song as "Porcupine Pie" and he paused it intermittently to make fun of Neil Diamond's enunciations.

Question: Is that the same 4/25/06 episode that is curiously absent from the archives (http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/bs)? If so, does anyone have a copy?

I'm trying to convert a non-Best-Show-listening friend (I know, I know) and I thought exposing him to that episode might be the clincher. If not, I will play him Tom's commentary from The Billy Crystal Incident. No mortal man can resist that.

Has anyone heard the live version where Neal says that line and then groans "ooohhh mah gawd!" before launching into the instrumental break. Classic!

Wait, there's a studio version?

Maybe that's the version Tom always plays. I haven't heard it on the show in so long, I can't remember.

Post by: masterofsparks on May 06, 2008, 07:02:39 PM: There's definitely a studio version, but as Dan B said, Tom plays the live version from Hot August Night. One of my favorite parts of the highlight-laden second 2008 marathon show was Ben Gibbard including the "Oh God!" on his version of Porcupine Pie.
