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 Three Little Pigs, 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 it was certified gold by the RIAA. "Three Little Pigs" was 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" 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".
