And This Little Piggy Cried All The Way Home

February 22nd, 2008

Talk about hamming it up. These guys are hilarious.

In what they say is a last-ditch attempt to save the country’s pork industry, dozens of pig farmers gathered in London on Thursday aiming for an Internet hit with their song “Stand by your Ham”.

The song — which reworks Tammy Wynette’s “Stand by Your Man” with a porcine theme — is intended to alert the public to a sector that farmers say is being pushed to extinction by greedy supermarket chains and rising feed prices.

“Stand by your ham,” runs the chorus. “Sausages, pork and bacon/Help us stay in business/Because our pigs are worth it/Stand by your ham.”

With little singing experience but fuelled by enthusiasm and bacon sandwiches, the 20 to 30 farmers hope to rely on affection for traditional pork products from pies to sausages.

It will be available for download from the weekend from the website www.pigsareworthit.com

It wasn’t on their site when I posted this, but I am going to listen to it over the weekend, while I enjoy my sausage and eggs for breakfast. Support your local pig farmer!

    Would love an mp3 copy of this song to play on my breakfast show, to highlight the plight of pig farmers, in fact all farmers who are being screwed in this country.
    Any ideas where I can get a copy would be welcome.

    Good luck
