Pig In A Blanket Lyrics
Do you really need to be convinced? Asides from the succinct reality as expressed by this tune, please look inside your needs.
animal protest song at its best! i love rudi-peni!
I love how this song builds and just bursts with energy at the end, and the lyrics are great.
My favorite animal rights song next to Flux of Pink Indian's "Sick Butchers".
its obvious what this songs about, unnecessary murder of animals
It's obvious what this song is about, but what is ironic is that Nick Blinko did not care too much for this sort of thing -- he wasn't even a vegetarian. To my knowledge it was the guitarist that was concerned about animal rights and so forth. Wonderful song in any case.
I think the key to understanding this song is the line "taking much more than you need". I don't think they are preaching vegetarianism, because it is kind of ridiculous to try to convince people that it is immoral to consume flesh since animals do it all the time and we had to for survival in many places and many time periods. I think they are against things like killing animals for sport or to use their bodies as decor. Or to just eat them when you don't need to to fill yourself fat. Being a vegetarian in a middle-class society is great because you are preserving the planet and not supporting some of the abuse of domesticating animals. But there are many scenarios in poorer countries where you have to eat animals or you die yourself.
But still, fuck taxidermy.
