Orange Is The New Black has a rockin’ theme song by Regina Spektor with lyrics that start, “The animals, the animals, trapped, trapped, trapped til the cage is full …” But I wasn’t listening at all to the words the first two or three times I heard it, so it only half-registered on my consciousness as “The Alamo, the Alamo, trapped, trapped, trapped in the Alamo.”
B thinks this is about the goofiest thing I have ever said.
Round about the second time I heard it, the thought half-registered on my brain that it didn’t make much sense for her to be singing about the Alamo, so I wondered what else it could be and actually thought of “the animals” but then I thought, c’mon, why would she be saying that? And I moved on to much more credible possibilities, such as “pie a la mode” and “Los Alamos.”
Then I remembered I had the internet on my phone and I just looked it up.
Pie a la mode
Pie a la mode
stuffed, stuffed, stuffed with pie a la mode
my belly’s full, I ate it all
and everybody’s waiting, waiting for more
and you’ve … got … PIE
