Bob's Burgers served up more than laughs and beef patties on Sunday's spooky Halloween episode. During its credits, the popular cartoon sitcom featured a fresh song penned and performed by Fiona Apple, the Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter behind such hits as 1996's Criminal. In the episode, titled “Pig Trouble in Little Tina” (referencing the surreal kung-fu movie Big Trouble in Little China from 1986), the middle-child and aspiring musician Gene dons a jar for Holloween to become "Fiona Applesauce,” a persona he describes as “Fiona Apple’s saucy aunt.”
Though she contributed a song to the show, it is unlinkely Fiona Apple would eat at the
Bob's Burgers restaurant herself, as she is an avowed vegan. Her appreciation for our four-legged friends is apparent on the brief
Bob's Burgers credits song, with the following lyrics, as posted by

There’s an oink, oink in the nightAnd it gives you such a frightHe’s got a tail that’s curlyAnd he’s coming for you, girlyYou got pig troublePig trouble, little TinaAnd you can try your best to shoutWhen you’re smooching on that snoutBut you kissed a fetal pigAnd now you two are boyfriend-girlfriendYou got pig troublePig trouble, little Tina
