Thread: Songs about pigs

  1. #1

    Songs about pigs

    OK, this is an easy one, as there are many songs referring -literally or metaphorically- to pigs. To make it easy, both count. You can also include instrumental songs.

    I'll start the easy way... Pink Floyd: Pigs on the wing (pts. 1 & 2), Pigs (three different ones)
    The Beatles: Piggies
    Frank Zappa: A pig with wings
    Black Sabbath: War pigs
    John Zorn (Naked City): Pigfucker (Ha ha! not an easy one since it's a 0.23' snippet buried amidst other 41 tracks!)
    Primus: Pork soda
    Motley crue: Generation swine
    Fright Pig: Out of the barnyard (OK, it's an album, not a song, but this band MUST be included in this list!)

    Don't Warpig (yes, Warpig, the band that inspired Fireball by Deep Purple) and Blodwyn Pig have any pig-related song??? I couldn't find one.

    the thing about PF's Animals was that it wasn't about animals.

    anyway didn't Peter Gabriel do a song for that Pig movie?

    John Fogerty-Vanz Can't Dance

    If I recall, he was poking hatred at a former executive or manager by making him a pig in the song...

    I was about to correct you and say it was "Zanz Can't Dance", but decided I should first check my facts.
    It turns out we are both right. The original title was indeed "Zanz Can't Dance", a reference to record company executive Saul Zaentz.
    Fogerty was later sued for defamation by Zaentz, forcing him to change the name of the song to "Vanz Can't Dance".

    We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
    It won't be visible through the air
    And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
