"Trapped in the Drive-Thru" is a song from "Weird Al" Yankovic's twelfth studio album Straight Outta Lynwood, which was released on September 26, 2006. This song is a parody of "Trapped in the Closet" by R. Kelly. Yankovic felt compelled to write this parody because he felt the original was "brilliant and wonderful and ridiculous all at the same time".[1] "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" uses the very dramatic structure of the original to tell an extremely banal tale of a couple's attempts to pick up their dinner one night.
This song was featured by Rolling Stone as number seventy-seven in their Best Songs of 2006 [2]. An animated music video was released on Myspace on March 19, 2007.[3]
