Released by Zoo Entertainment in 1992 with the original band name, Green Jellö, the single was re-released in 1993 under the name Green Jellÿ due to a lawsuit for trademark infringement by the owners of Jell - O. The song peaked at # 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1993, staying on the chart for 20 weeks, and charted even higher in the UK, where it reached number 5. It also reached number one in New Zealand for two nonconsecutive weeks and charted highly in European countries. The chart success can be partly attributed to the song 's unique and heavily aired music video. The song was ranked number 35 on VH1 's 40 Most Awesomely Bad Metal Songs... Ever.

The third pig dispatches the Harley - riding Big Bad Wolf by calling in Rambo, who mows the wolf down with a machine gun. The original hand written lyrics to the song, dated 4 / 24 / 89 and written on 2 yellow legal pad pages with the title `` The 3 LTL ' PIGS... '', showing changes and corrections were sold by Bill Manspeaker in 2012. Music video The song 's stop motion claymation music video received regular rotation on MTV, and in 1993 it was certified gold by the RIAA. `` Three Little Pigs '' was notable for being the first known music single to debut only in video form ; when the music video was first shown on MTV, fans could buy the song on videotape, but not on CD. In 1993, however, the single was finally released in CD form. Censored / changed lyrics Two versions of the song exist ; the only change being the lyrics as to what the second Little Pig was doing. In the censored / modified version, the lyric was `` He was kind of stokin ' / spent most of his days in the sun just soakin ' ''. The original lyric was `` He was kind of stokin ' / spent most of his day just a ganja smokin ' ''. Despite the attempt to remove the marijuana reference, the video does not edit `` pot culture '' references in this part of the song.
