The Escaped Fetal Pigs - "Fluff Chicks in My Soup"

This was the second time we played this song that day, a tribute to some of the shallow people who made the 1980s so obnoxious. I like how the camera catches a closeup of the cool stickers on the guitar. Mark, our guitarist always decorated it with fun stuff. I also like the vaguely psychedelic camerawork at the beginning. My little Iggy Popesque dancing is also fun. This is the last video from this tv show, which was a local television variety show in Northwestern Ohio USA, recorded in 1990 or so.

The Escaped Fetal Pigs - "The Beaver Of Love"

This is another performance from the local variety show in Northwest Ohio, USA that The Escaped Fetal Pigs appeared on in 1990 or so. It is a version of one of our "hits": "The Beaver Of Love". The intro is the reggae version of it, which we called "Rastabeaver".  I have no idea why I was wearing an Ohio Diesel Fleet Supply t-shirt.  We weren't sponsored by them or anything.  Someone probably gave me a free t-shirt, so I wore it.  I didn't have much money, so free anything was good.

The Escaped Fetal Pigs - "The Cult Of Pogo And Porky Pine (Take 2)"

This is the second take of "The Cult Of Pogo And Porky Pine" that The Escaped Fetal Pigs played on the local television variety show in 1990 or so. The second take is definitely better than the first one, but I'm still not sure why we did it exactly. In any case, here it is. It's so exciting that you might lose your hat like I do in the beginning of the song!

The Escaped Fetal Pigs - "The Cult Of Pogo And Porky Pine (Take 1)"

This is the first take of "The Cult Of Pogo And Porky Pine" from the local television variety show that The Escaped Fetal Pigs played in 1990 or thereabouts.  I don't recall why we did two takes of the song.  This might have been a rehearsal take for setting sound levels or something.  Then again, this version is pretty shaggy, so we might have just decided to redo it.  I love how the host, Tom Martin or something was his name, is mad that some people think his variety show lacks variety and he complains about that as he introduces us.  Considering he stormed out of the taping before we finished playing and this never aired that I know of, those people were probably right.  The song is about a cult that worships Walt Kelly's comic strip and was always fun to play live because a lot of people would pogo to it.  I don't remember who made the "Pig Out With The Escaped Fetal Pigs" banner behind us, but it's genius.
