Sesame Street - I Love Being A Pig(Film version)

[KoffinFeeder]

WOOT !! killGORE @3384 !!! OINK !!

[KhaosJr]

You know what I've always wanted to see? Footage of kids playing in the mud, set to this song. When I was a kid - I probably sound like one sick puppy, but - I always enjoyed watching girls my age get muddy. I could tell they were having a marvelous time.

[efil4own1]

I could see Link Hogthrob (from "Pigs In Space") either singing this song or introducing it for a "Sesame Street" video (even though he wasn't on that show).

[Muppephile]

Miss Piggy approves.

[Villaingirl101]

I remember both the cartoon version and the film version of this song from when I was little, and I've always loved them both.

[ForeverKokiri]

It's really hard not to squee with joy when they show the little piglets running through the tall grass at the beginning. REALLY HARD.

[headzipper714]

I like pigs from spider-pig

[stegatops]

There was another pig cartoon with a particularly nasty theme.....cant remember what it was called, but i remember one of the lines......."Now scram!! Before i slice you into ham!!" I shouldnt be surprised if it was banned due to its Nazi overtones.

Somehow this needs to be broadcasted to Al Qaeda!

[CASSiECHiCK1]

[OtherBrother09]

I love, love, love this song. Thanks wattamack4 for posting it. :)

[TheGreatDoon]

Grinch cartoon is way older than this...it's possible I guess.

[LeftSock06]

I wonder if this is the same guy who sings the Grinch song.

[Garrettk41]

That would be Thurl Ravenscroft. I suppose this could be he.

[vidEvWill]

@Garrettk41 The dude that sang You're A Mean One, Mr. grinch.

[Garrettk41]

Yup, that's the one.

[Garrettk41]

And if it is, it's not the first time he's voiced a pig.

[HarryandNad]

Iremember this clip . A happy memory

[gillybymarriage]

Me too.

[eyesandmouth]

I love mud all about . lol

[quizmaster85]

"And I love being a swine... um (clearing throat?)... pig..." - classic wordplay there :)

[Sorhaindo]

Nicley done... but i think its (clear throat!). He made it quite clear that that was the wrong word... and i'm clearing up that little mishap... it seems his inner monologue escaped for a second... good memories

[travelplus1]

I remember this version and love Joe Raposo. I wish I could have met him. He is so talented and I love his voice.

[shydmples]

I like the cartoon version better

[lion371]

He does sould like thesame person that does grinch.

[numanumadragostadint]

I loved pigs when I was little because of this song. I still love them today (including the taste!)

[ILoveNeegers]

this is the same guy from the old grinch cartoon movie

[zacandtaylorrule]

Does anybody habe the cartoon version?

[barlytone01]

i remember this. cracks me up! i also remember seeing the cartoon and can see it just listening to this. we used to sing this because it was so funny to me and my cousins when we were kids. i love it!!!

[mstatz]

For those of you out there that may remember, this is NOT originally how they aired this. The man singing about being a pig was dubbed into a cartoon about a pig dancing in a pig pen. This film footage of real pigs had the actual audio included of pig squeals and grunts. They just took the audio of the cartoon and added it in with this film. Once again, trash the original and change it. That is Sesame Street's way now!

[wattamack4]

Well I pretty much new this wasn't the origional version but I don't know why they'd put this on old school if it isn't the origional version.And yeah,I know how you feel mstatz,I don't like it when they recycle something on Sesame Street I like then do a remeake of it.I was very pissed off when I saw they did a remake of "One Fine Face" by Ernie and Elmo.

[diesfaustus]

Well, they've actually been using this clip at about the same time of the release of the cartoon broadcast, and we're still talking the early seventies here! But I never understood that either. As much as I like the "Pigs!" film from which these scenes came from, the animated version was sweeter and funnier to see, and it was much more unique than this.

[pomurphy]

i saw this in the early/mid 90's i cant believe how much of these they actually kept playing many many years later

[wattamack4]

Yeah,now if only someone could upload the cartoon version of this.

[wattamack4]

Actually,I think I have the cartoon version as well.

[lfrage]

You're right! There is a cartoon version of this film, but I like this one better.
