My pink and fuzzy ode to breakfast cereals. Thanks to Rebecca http://www.youtube.com/user/rebeccawrite for suggesting in the channel comments that I do a song about Cheerios - it was the inspiration! =:0)
Tired of the corruption and injustice in the world, Putnam and Dexter suit up as Batpig and Robin ready to save the world… but is the world ready for them?

It looks like this little piggy screwed up a little bit, so I wanted to try to explain my thought process so that people understand. In my swine flu song, there is a line that says, “stay away from Mexico”. I didn’t mean to literally convey that as my opinion or advice. The reason I put that in the video was that it was one of many points in the song where I was restating what the media is feeding us, and then my response.
I attempted to make several points throughout the song in that manner - in particular, really, was the fact that the media was giving the impression (as was the naming of the disease by the CDC) that it was being transmitted by pigs. Frankly, I only believe a fraction of what I hear on the news as it is and this was just my way of gently pointing that out.
So, my most sincere apologies if I offended anyone at all by that line, as it was purely unintentional and I would never want to make anyone feel bad.
I felt it was only appropriate to put something up in response to all the coverage of the recent Swine Flu outbreak. Pigs are getting a bad rap on this one. The government is supposedly renaming the virus to H1-N1, but it doesn’t seem to be catching on.
SONG LYRICS
Miss Piggy, Arnold Ziffle,
neither has a little sniffle
Porky Pig and Pooh’s Piglet
No fever yet
Putnam, Gordy, Toot and Puddle
Not contagious safe to snuggle
Ask Petunia Babe, Noelle
All of them feel well
Wilbur, Hamm Hogzilla too
None of them caused the flu
Wash your hands, wear a mask
How’d this happen, people ask
How it started I don’t know
Stay away from Mexico
Now it’s in the USA
No one’s safe this day and age
Pigs didn’t start the swine flu
Blame the laboratory
For this awful Story
Pigs didn’t start the swine flu
No we’ve been betrayed
The strain appears man-made
Viral codes of human flu
Bird influenza’s in there too
The only thing i seem to find
People blame the swine
Read the papers, post your blog
Blame it on the lowly hog
Down some aspirin, take a swig
You’re infected by the pig
Everyone thinks I’m contagious
Read it on my twitter pages
You can hug me you won’t die
Come and hang out in my sty
Eat your dinner throw it up
No one blames it on the pup
Run a temp and get the chlls
Everyone run for the hills
Pigs didn’t start the swine flu
Blame the laboratory
For this awful Story
Pigs didn’t start the swine flu
No we’ve been betrayed
The strain appears man-made
Name diseases after pigs
Everyone throws dirty digs
I’m a virus people think
I’m not sick I’m clean and pink
I”m your friend your little buddy
I don’t know why you feel cruddy
Don’t blame me I’m not the cause
Government should change the laws
People sick across the nation
Looking for a vaccination
Center for disease control
Someone there has got to know
This disease it needs a name Which animals should we defame
Nobody will likely mind
If we named it for an ugly swine
Pigs didn’t start the swine flu
Blame the laboratory
For this awful Story
Pigs didn’t start the swine flu
No we’ve been betrayed
The strain appears man-made
The pigs are innocent I tell you
We didn’t do anything wrong
We didn’t start this disease
But we’re taking all the blame.
