Pigs and the resultant products made from them have been feeding people for a long time. The old saying goes that the only part of the pig not used is the oink, and that's more true than not. Pigs are one of the easiest of animals to raise for meat, and they really are not dirty animals. The only reason they wallow in the mud is to cool off when the weather's hot as they cannot sweat.
So it stands to reason with all the pluses of raising pigs, they would be part of the cultural history of many different reasons. Jewish and Islamic cultures shun pork as it is considered unclean, but for many people pork remains an important source of protein. Certain cuts and methods of preparation can make it a healthy meat to eat as well. Then there's the subject of this song - pig fat!
Some of the most popular kinds of pork products to eat are sausage and bacon, both highly processed meats that are high in sodium and cholesterol that should be eaten in moderation, if at all. But it's true, there's a lot of flavor in pork fat!
Their song Pig Fat is a departure for the group, as it really isn't a Polka, if it's even any kind of dance at all is the question. It would be difficult indeed to dance to the song. The group obviously had a good time recording it!
We’ve heard about pigs in a polka,
A most disgusting thought.
Nothing against pigs at all
Many a pig we have sought.
But not to put in a polka,
But a very different fate
Butcher ‘em up
And put ‘em on a plate!
We like all the parts of a hog
Nothing that we’d give to the dog
But many times we’ve had a major spat,
Over our favorite PIG FAT!
Pig fat around pork chops,
Makes them juicy and tender.
Pig fat laced in bacon,
Succulent and tender
Clogging up our arteries
And making us obese.
But it really is quite tasty,
Give us more if you please!
Pig fat is king! Pig fat is rich!
Give us some more, or we will surely bitch!
Fry our eggs in bacon grease, makes them mighty fine!
We’ll take it oozing bacon grease, every time!
Dripping down our chins,
Covering our hands
Barbecued pork ribs,
Greasy smoked hams
Pie crust made with lard,
Is the best in the land
Pork roast dripping fat
Is something we can stand!
Greasy pork chops with thick fat,
Cooked with kraut and biscuits!
Soaks up all the deliciousness
Please make it just for us!
Sausages made with pork,
Larded with piggie fat.
Served on a crusty bun
With mustard is where it's at!
Pork steak fried with onions
Is a dish fit for royalty
But don't waste it on them
Give it instead to ME!
Pig fat is king! Pig fat is rich!
Give us some more, or we will surely bitch!
Fry our eggs in bacon grease, makes them mighty fine!
