Three Little Pigs (Green Jellÿ song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Three Little Pigs is a song by the comedy heavy metal band Green Jellÿ, from the album Cereal Killer Soundtrack, released by Zoo Entertainment in 1992. Written by Marc Levinthal and Bill Manspeaker after a "late-night drinkfest" at Zatar's in Hollywood, the song is a re-telling of the classic fairy tale with modern twists, such as pot-smoking pigs, an appearance by Rambo, and a Harley Davidson-riding wolf.
The song's claymation music video received regular rotation on MTV, and in 1993 the song was certified gold by the RIAA. Three Little Pigs was also notable for being the first known music single to debut only in video form; when the music video was first shown on MTV, fans could buy the song on videotape but not on CD.
Three Little Pigs also features a cameo by Tool lead singer Maynard James Keenan, who was the roommate of Green Jellÿ singer Bill Manspeaker. Keenan sings the falsetto line "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin".
