Send us a text Sometimes a song isn’t trying to impress you. It isn’t hiding behind clever lyrics or metaphor. Sometimes it’s doing something much simpler. It’s asking. In this episode of Who Ordered the Pie?, Christopher explores hit songs where the lead singer drops the pose, abandons toughness, and says exactly what they mean, out loud and on the radio. These weren’t obscure album cuts or quiet confessions. Songs like ABBA’s “SOS” climbed straight into the Billboard Top 40 in 1975, turning...

Episode 13: The Sound of Mid-Century Christmas - Ray Conniff’s Holiday Legacy
Send us a text Ray Conniff’s Christmas albums are everywhere once you start listening for them.

Episode 12: A Very Tipsy Christmas - The Holiday Songs with a Drinking Problem
Send us a text This week, we’re raising a glass to the Christmas songs that pair better with a drink. Not the picture-perfect holiday tunes, but the ones born in bars, lounges, casinos, and late nights. Songs with stories behind them and a little spirit in their step. We explore the rowdy origins of “Jingle Bells,” the heartbreak behind “Please Come Home for Christmas,” the Tahoe-lounge roots of “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer,” the cinematic chaos of “Fairytale of New York,” and the war...

Episode 11: The Famous Hits with Unfamous Voices
Send us a text Some of the most unforgettable moments in pop music did not come from the stars at all, they came from the voices standing right beside them.

Episode 10: Waiting for Number One - The Winter Olivia Newton-John Froze the Charts
Send us a text In the winter of 1981, Olivia Newton-John’s Physical didn’t just hit number one — it froze the Billboard Hot 100 for ten straight weeks. And sitting right behind it? Foreigner’s Waiting for a Girl Like You, one of the biggest “almost” hits in 80s music history. In this episode we break down how Physical reshaped pop, how it outlasted Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean, and why Foreigner spent ten painful weeks at number two. A story of timing, momentum, and one unforgettable chart b...

Episode 8: Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel’s Leap of Faith
Send us a text Why would anyone walk away from the band that made them famous? In this episode of Who Ordered the Pie, we climb Solsbury Hill with Peter Gabriel as he leaves Genesis at the height of 1970s progressive rock. What sounds like a gentle folk-rock tune in 7/4 is actually a coded resignation letter, born from a moment of clarity overlooking the English countryside. We explore the pressures of Genesis fame, the hillside experience near Bath that sparked Gabriel’s decision, and ...

Episode 7: Seven Notes, Seven Nations - How a Bedroom Riff Conquered the World
Send us a text A simple seven-note riff. A childhood mispronunciation. And somehow… a stadium chant that circled the globe. In this episode, we uncover how The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” broke free from Detroit garage rock and became the soundtrack of sports crowds everywhere; from Belgian soccer bars to the World Cup and beyond. Jack White thought the riff was too simple for a single. The world had other plans. We’ll follow the chant across continents, hear the moment Jack realized i...

Episode 6: Spelling It Out - The Songs That Made Us Work for It
Send us a text Some songs make you move without thinking. Others make you pay attention. This week, we explore the hooks that turned lyrics into spelling lessons, from Nat King Cole’s velvet charm to Aretha’s call for dignity to the sweaty-garage swagger of “Gloria.” We’ll trace how letters became legends, how simple chants shook stadium walls, and why these spell-it-out classics are still burned into our brains. Pour a drink, pull up a chair, and let’s see why spelling never sounded so good....

Episode 5: Songs You Endure - A Hellish Halloween Countdown
Send us a text Five songs that don’t scare you; they disturb you. One inspired by a real-life killing spree in Nebraska. Another about a girl who trusted the wrong stranger. A cheerful pop hit hiding something unspeakable. A crash told by the man who doesn’t survive it. And one that listeners can barely finish. It’s a top five countdown of songs you don’t just hear; you endure. Pour something dark, keep the lights low, and listen at your own risk. You’ve been warned; this one’s not for the we...

Send us a text Some of the most unforgettable guitar moments in music history didn’t come from the band at all. They came from the shadows of the studio. In this episode, Christopher explores the stories behind the players who stepped into other artists’ sessions, added their spark, and quietly disappeared from the credits.

This week, we pull back the curtain on the hidden voices behind some unforgettable tracks: The background singer who stole Elvin Bishop’s spotlight, the new guy Elvis Costello pushed to the mic for Squeeze’s Tempted, the folk singer who stepped into Pink Floyd’s studio, and the quiet Beach Boy who sang the band’s most beautiful ballad. It’s a lineup of musical switch-ups, ghost vocals, and unexpe...
