A Tribe of Boy Piggies ⚠️

This is a slightly more offensive version of what I was thinking of doing for the concept album.

Now, I'm a straight man, but I also strive to be an ally. There may be a science fiction author who is distinctly not an ally, yet also created the perfect homosexual culture. I decided it not only deserved a song, it deserved a song with gay sex in it.

My only complaint with it is that I was finishing up the demo when I realized that "Without protection or lube" and "and bang the piggies will moan." should be flipped or it sounds like the singer would be joining in if they only had protection or lube. I don't know, maybe the ambiguity is appropriate.

Ah, well. You need to hear it back to catch some things.

Overall, I liked the end-result. The singer communicates with another human (referred to as "you") yet it isn't clear the gender of either one. The only gender that we know for certain is that the piggies are all boys.

The album concept (repeated from my bio): This FAWM, I want to write songs for an art album I'm working on. Abstractly, it's an art album about copyright... in the guise of hymn filk. The premise is a lonely space traveler thinks about what might be in store for the colony ship when they get there, but due to copyright restrictions only music made before 1926 is available on-board. So, he combines the two.

Also note: The "grandfather sword" reference was one I enjoyed, in part, because I'm also a fan of SongFight! and there was once a "Grandfather Sword" song fight.
