about

I think this may have been the first song that established the concept of the three little pigs being crime lords and the wolf being someone sent to take them down. Bizarrely the concept twisted back on itself with the wolf's son going on a mission to avenge his father and ended up trying to kill the pigs anyway.

I'm still strangely pleased with the lyrics.

lyrics

Three Little Pigs

Well, the first little piggy made his fortune out of spam
Selling dodgy medicines
The perfect little scam

But he didn't know the price that he would pay
The local mob persuaded him
To send a cut their way

Well, the second little piggy made his fortune out of theft
Stealing gold and platinum
He didn't leave much left

But he didn't know the price that he would pay
The local mob persuaded him
To send a cut their way

Well, the third little piggy made his fortune out of smack
Selling cheap enlightenment
For thirty quid a whack

But he didn't know what it would lead him to
The first two piggies hired him
Said "We've a job for you..."

But they didn't know their lives of crime would fail
The big bad wolf arrested them
To throw them all in jail
But he didn't know the price that he would pay
Each little piggy drew a gun
And blew my dad away
