Here are our clips for our Homecoming pig montage: 1. Charles Mingus an Goodbye Mr. PORK Pie Hat. 2. Arnold Ziffel is insulted on Green Acres. 3. The Yonder Mountain String Band plays the bluegrass standard Pig in a Pen. 4. Pooh and Piglet: a wonderful friendship. 5. An old jingle for Piggly Wiggly grocery stores. 6. Miss Piggy takes offense...and takes action. 7. Homer develops an odd friendship in The Simpsons Movie. 8. Fleetwood Mac, Tusk. It works, it works. 9. James Cromwell ends the movie Babe. 10. Porky Pig ends everything the same way. Apologies to: the three little pigs, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, the warthog in The Lion King, E. B. White, and the cast of that so-deadful-it's-good movie from Australia, Razorback. Maybe next time.
