Green Jellÿ – Three Little Pigs

Green Jellÿ's "Three Little Pigs" is a comedic retelling of the classic fairy tale, presented through a claymation music video. The song, part of their album "Cereal Killer," was released in 1992 and gained significant attention for its unique animation style and humorous twist on the original story. The video features guest voices from notable artists like Maynard James Keenan and Les Claypool, adding to its appeal. The narrative follows the first two pigs living a slacker lifestyle, while the third pig summons Rambo to deal with the wolf, showcasing a blend of pop culture references and comedy. The music video was directed by Fred Stuhr and received extensive airplay on MTV, contributing to its popularity. "Three Little Pigs" peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and reached number five in the UK. The song's success can be attributed to its innovative video format, which was initially released only on VHS before becoming available on CD. This approach made Green Jellÿ pioneers in video-only music releases. The band's style combines elements of comedy rock and rap, making "Three Little Pigs" a memorable and entertaining piece.
