Hay Rocker Pigs! It's the Traditional Twelfth Day of Christmas! 🐹 🎸 🎸 🥳 🎉 🍕 🍻 🥕
Wheek up and party down with a classic tune to get those four funky feet moving on Twelfth Night ... and try not to trash the hotel room or "shred" the cardboard guitars!
Wheeked to the tune of Rock & Roll Fantasy by Bad Piggy Company, 1979 🥕🎸
"🎵 Here come the wheekers, one, two, three,
Little mouths chewing noisily,
You find you’re popcorning on the number-nine cloud,
Put your paws together now, and wheek it out loud.
Chorus
It’s all part of my guinea pig fantasy, wheek!
It’s all part of my guinea pig dream"
Is your piggy still trashing the cage as a big finish to those Twelve Days of Christmas. If you are the manager, producer, or attorney to superstar piggies, expect some craziness in the cage tonight as your party animals go all out in one big bash! And make sure they eave the cleaning staff a big tip!
*****
Twelfth Night—celebrated on January 5th or 6th—was the grand finale of Christmas merrymaking, a last, gleeful revel before ordinary life resumed. Traditionally it was a night of topsy-turvy fun: feasting, dancing, disguises, practical jokes, and the crowning of a Lord (or Abbot) of Misrule to preside over sanctioned chaos.
Twelfth Night was most popular from the late Middle Ages fro the 1300s to the mid-1600s!
Wheek! Wheek!

Hay Piggies & Pals, remember the "king of Rock and Roll", Elvis Presley, for his birthday today! 🐹 💙 🤍 💙 💽 🕺 🎂 🥕
Got a piggy named Elvis? Does your piggy sound more like Elvi's melodious tunes, or more like the screaming fans in the audience?
Sing it with me, piggies! Wheeked to the tune of "Houndog"!
"🎶 You ain’t nothin’ but a guinea pig,
Wheekin’ all the time,
You ain’t nothin’ but a guinea pig,
Wheekin’ all the time,
Well you ain't never caught a carrot,
You just beg and beg for mine.
Well, you said you were a tough boar
Said you’d stand your ground,
You said you were a strong sow
Said you’d stand your ground,
But when the fridge door opens,
You come runnin’ at the sound.
You ain’t nothin’ but a guinea pig,
Snackin’ all the time,
You ain’t nothin’ but a guinea pig,
Snackin’ all the time,
Well you nap for twenty hours
Then you wheek for hay like a crime."

🐹🎸 WHOLE LOTTA HAY 🎸🐹


"🎵 You need cool hay, baby,

Need good hay, baby,
Gonna keep you well-fed now.

Way down inside,
Honey, you need it,
I’m gonna give you my hay,
I’m gonna feed you.

Chorus
Wanna whole lotta hay,
Wanna whole lotta hay,
Wanna whole lotta hay,
Wanna whole lotta hay.


You need fresh hay, baby,

Honey, you crave it,
I’m gonna fill up that rack,
You’re gonna save it.

Wanna whole lotta hay,
Wanna whole lotta hay,
Wanna whole lotta hay,
Wanna whole lotta hay.

Break / Psychedelic Section
Sniff…
Wheek…

You feel that rustle?
You hear that sound?
That’s the bag openin’,
Don’t mess around.

Is it timothy?
Is it orchard grass?
If you walk past my cage,
You better walk back fast.

Final Chorus / Outro
Wanna whole lotta hay,
Gonna munch all day,
Wanna whole lotta hay,
Gonna crunch my cares away.

Whole lotta hay…
Whole lotta haaaaay… "

Far out and Outta Sight! Eat it, don't smoke it, pigs! Who are these herd band members anyway? Well ... our roving piggy reporter has done some research.

Robert “Golden Whisker” Plant — Lead Wheeker
A golden-maned frontpig with a voice powerful enough to summon hay from across the house. Known for dramatic head tilts, soulful wheeks, and clinging fiercely to the mic stand when the crunch gets emotional.

Jimmy “Mystic Nibble” Page — Guitar & Cage Sorcery
Quiet, intense, and devastatingly precise. Master of the double-neck guitar, ancient riff magic, and standing perfectly still while causing absolute sonic chaos. Try to forget about all that occult imagery, I'm sure it doesn't mean anything. 🤪

John Paul “Steady Paw” Jones — Bass, Keys & Order
The calm brain of the herd. Holds everything together with impeccable timing, tasteful notes, and the unshakable confidence of a pig who already planned dinner.

John “Thunder Tummy” Bonham — Drums & Destruction
A force of nature with paws like earthquakes. Plays loud, eats louder, and believes every solo should feel like the cage might tip over.

Considered by some as one of the greatest (cover) bands of all time! Oops, did I say that? Well, they did well with this.

Surely they didn't lift all their material from others in the same way piggies steal from each other's mouths! Hmmm ... enquiring pigs know! 🤪 🤪 🤪

Wheek! Wheek!

Wheek! Wheek!

Say Hay, Piggies and Pals! We've got a classic 80s "New Sensation" with Rock 'n Roll Rodent Thursday, INXS, with MIchael HUTCH-ence, and a guinea pig!

What the floof!??
Wheeked to the tune of "Need You Tonight", INXS, Kick, 1987

Scurry on over here, sexy salad-holder (in a whispered wheek)
I wheek you tonight

"🎵 "Scurry on over here, sexy salad-holder (in a whispered wheek)

I wheek you tonight
Cause I'm not eating
So scurry over here
and give me a moment
your veggies are so raw
you've got to let me know
you've got to feed me now
you're one of my guinea-kind!"

Wheek! Wheek!

What the wheek you are asking? Well ...

Australia's New Wave band INXS ("in excess", something guinea pigs know a lot about) and frontman Michael HUTCH-ence's song "Need You Tonight" features Michael seductively singing the opening verse while a white rat climbs all over him. Huh?

To be honest, I only recently noticed the white rat. 😊

Rumour has it that the rat belonged to Michael HUTCH-ence's brother, Rhett HUTCH-ence, was named Plague, and chosen for its wild subconscious rat imagery. Allegedly, the rat even gets a thank you in the albums's Kick, liner notes. Do you have this LP, Piggies & Pals? Can you verify this ratty rumour? Enquiring rodents want to know! 🐀 🐀 🐀

Well, you may not know this but there was another underground cut of this music video which featured a white guinea pig!

Unfortunately, the guinea pig had trouble hanging on and needed frequent carrot breaks, as per the SARG (Screen Actor's Rodent Guild), and thus, the white rat gets all the fame and fennel leaves. 🎬 🐀

RIP Michael HUTCH-ence

Wheek! Wheek!

It's Rock 'N Roll Wednesday, Piggies & Pals! Wheek along with Stevie Nicks Nibbles and the classic 70s/80's style with Fleetherd Mac! 🐹 💛 🤎 💛 🎶 🎤 🥕

Got a guinea pig named Stevie? Or is Stevie Nicks your spirit animal? 🤪

Wheeked to the tune of "Gypsy", Fleetwood Mac, 1982

"So I'm back, to the velvet fleece of bedding
Back to the pigloo, that I love
To a cage strewn with paper lace and cardboard boxes
Back to the cavy that I was
To the piggy that I was ...

And it all comes down to you
Well you know that it does
And my appetite strikes, maybe once, maybe thrice!
Oh, and my hungry wheeks light up the night ...

And you hear your piggy
You see your piggy"

***

Stevie Nicks Nibbles widely regarded as the most mysteriously enchanting guinea pig ever to grace a litter-lined stage, first rose to fame as the velvet-voiced front squeaker and wheeker of the legendary herd band Fleetherd Mac.

The group’s classic lineup included the brooding hay-bale guitarist Lindsay Buckteethham, the steady and slightly exasperated drummer Mick Fleetfeet, the ever-diplomatic bassist John McHay, and the formidable songstress Christine McVeggies.

Together, they created a sound that blended emotional intensity with the soft rustle of premium 3rd cut timothy hay—and, of course, Stevie’s unmistakable, distinctive throaty wheek, a sound so hauntingly raspy it could summon both snacks and existential reflection.

Nibbles quickly became known for her dramatic entrances— layers of flowing blonde fur tousled as if by mystical indoor winds, and her Victorian, bohemian, slightly witchy-pig style of dress influenced a generation of young piglets.

The band’s most tumultuous period came during the recording of their iconic album "Rumours of an Impending Nose-off", an era marked by dramatic cage-side tensions, including an infamous dispute over a missing slice of cucumber (still unsolved). Nibbles channeled the chaos and heartbreak into deeply emotional ballads about love, betrayal, and who really knocked over the pellet bowl at 2 a.m.

Stevie eventually went solo after all this cage-fighting.

Wheek! Wheek!

Wear your purple today Piggies & Pals, and put your paws together for the artist formerly known as Prince! It's Purple Day, Piggies! 🐹 💜 💜 💜 🥬 💋

"🎶 You don't have to be rich to feed me right,
You don't have to be cool to scratch me light
Ain’t no particular veg I’m more compatible with,
I just want your extra time and your 💋💋💋💋💋 ... lettuce."

~ "Kiss - my Lettuce", adapted for Guinea Pigs, Prince, 1986

The colour purple has long been associated with royalty and nobility. Its regal status dates back to ancient times, beginning with the famed Phoenician dye known as Tyrian Purple. This luxurious dye, extracted from the spiny dye-murex sea snail, was incredibly costly to produce, making it a symbol of wealth and power.

That exclusivity changed in 1856, thanks to a happy accident by eighteen-year-old British chemistry student William Henry Perkin. While attempting to synthesize quinine, he instead created the first synthetic aniline dye—a brilliant purple shade he called mauveine. The industrial production of purple had begun, and mauve quickly took the fashion world by storm.

One modern icon forever linked with the colour was Prince Rogers Nelson—simply known as Prince. The legendary American artist was a masterful multi-instrumentalist and a pioneer of the Minneapolis sound, blending funk rock, synth-pop, and new wave. His tribute tartan, named after his iconic 1984 anthem “Purple Rain”, features his signature hue. Fittingly, purple is also the colour for Epilepsy Awareness Day (also known as Purple Day)—a cause close to Prince’s heart, as he suffered from the condition during childhood. 💜 🤍 💜 🤍 💜

It's almost showtime - get into that costume, Prince Piggy!

It's Def Leppard Day, Piggies, with a newly formed tribute cover band for the iconic 80's group, Def Guinea! 🐹 🎶 🎸 🎤 💽 🐆 🥬 🥬 🥬

Sing along to one of their greatest hits, "Pour Some Lettuce on Me!"

"🎶 'm a nibble-lovin' pig, yeah, comin' to dine!
Livin' for the leafy greens, so fine!

Wheeeee-eek!

[Chorus]
Pour some lettuce on me,
Ooh, in the food bowl!
Pour some lettuce on me,
Come on, don't be slow!
Pour some lettuce on me,
Oh, I can't get enough!
I'm a guinea, yeah, a guinea pig king,
Ready to munch on everything!"

Def Guinea, the world’s fluffiest tribute band of Def Leppard, brings rock 'n' roll to the hayloft like you've never seen! With their big, tousled mulleted fur and tiny leather jackets, these guinea pigs are squeaking out the classics. Lead singer Squeaky Joey belts "Pour Some Lettuce on Me" with a high-pitched intensity that sends shockwaves through the barnyard pigloos. Their drummer, Thunder Whiskers Ricky, keeps the beat by thumping on an overturned water bowl, while Fuzzy Phil shreds a carrot like it’s a guitar solo. Fans throw romaine leaves instead of lighters, and the hay is always shaking when Def Guinea takes the stage!

Wheek! Wheek!
