Piggies was written by George Harrison and released by The Beatles in 1968 on their self titled double album, widely known as the White Album. The song uses farm animals as satire aimed at greed, manners and social respectability, a theme that helped it stand out among the album's varied tracks. Short excerpts centred on the little piggies lyric later circulated in edits and sound collections, where the familiar melody works as an instant reference to the song and its mocking view of self satisfied behaviour.
About this sound
A short excerpt from Piggies by The Beatles, featuring the famous opening lyric, used in edits, memes and posts about pigs, greed or classic rock.
This is a brief musical excerpt from Piggies by The Beatles, built around the repeated little piggies image in the lyric and a light, baroque tinged arrangement. The singing is clear and slightly satirical in tone, with the melody moving in a neat, storybook way that contrasts with the sharper point of the words. Played on its own, the clip sounds whimsical at first, then a little mocking, which makes it useful as a quick musical comment rather than a neutral background track for a scene.
