Obliteration Pie is an album by Robyn Hitchcock, released in Japan in 2005.
Not released in the UK or America, the set nonetheless contains six otherwise unavailable titles, and re-makes of several tracks from Hitchcock's catalogue such as "Madonna Of The Wasps" and "My Wife And My Dead Wife", the latter song introduced with one of his live spoken monologues.
He also includes a cover of the disco classic "Funkytown", the result of his latter-day interest in remaking unlikely 1970s tracks for his live audiences.
This is the first Hitchcock release to also include video footage on the disc, in this case promo clips for "I Often Dream Of Trains" and "The Man With The Lightbulb Head", both of which date to the mid-1980s and originally appeared on the video release of Gotta Let This Hen Out.
The booklet contains lyrics in English and Japanese.

Famous quotes containing the word pie:
“Rice and peas fit into that category of dishes where two ordinary foods, combined together, ignite a pleasure far beyond the capacity of either of its parts alone. Like rhubarb and strawberries, apple pie and cheese, roast pork and sage, the two tastes and textures meld together into the sort of subtle transcendental oneness that we once fantasized would be our experience when we finally found the ideal mate.”
—John Thorne, U.S. cookbook writer. Simple Cooking, “Rice and Peas: A Preface with Recipes,” Viking Penguin (1987)
