I have a Jacques Brel song called "Les Bourgeois" where the chorus proclaims that the bourgeois are like pigs, the older they get, the stupider they get.
Perfect!
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

There must be some songs about bacon out there, right. I mean, it\'s BACON!
There\'s a great punk tune called \"Makin\' Bacon\" by The Pork Dukes. Rumor was that they were Steeleye Span in disguise.

There was an Australian band named Big Pig, who had a hit with thier song Breakaway in the '80s.
And sigh, there was a local band named Piggy, who's founder Paul has been the news for very sad reasons, but I don't have any of their recordings.

Was that Feelies cover of "Dancing Barefoot" on a flexi-single that came with a magazine? Because I'm sure I have or had that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Because I'm sure I have or had that.
I'm sure I have to have that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I don't know if the link is still active since I can't use it at work.
eta: I checked. It looks like it's still available. Somebody should grab it quick, since I'm afraid it will be gone by the time I get home.
But several versions are available there.
eta: Also this person misses the Feelies

Okay, I've sent "Les Bourgeois" by Jacques Brel and MC Solaar's "Bouge de là", where he fends off a woman's advances with the line "non merci c'est très gentil mais je ne mange pas de porc" ("no thank you, that's very sweet, but I don't eat pork").
I've also sent a Word file with lyrics for both.
