Piggies

"Piggies" is a Beatles song from double-disc album The Beatles (also known as The White Album). It was written mostly by George Harrison, and it features a Baroque-style harpsichord and string quartet - which take an unexpected turn at one point playing a blues riff. As the lyrics suggest, it is a social commentary about lust and corporate greed.
