The song "Piggy Pie" by ICP, or Insane Clown Posse, is not about making a piggy pie. It has a deeper meaning, and that meaning is common in most ICP songs, especially those on the "Joker Card" albums. The theme behind "Piggy Pie" is the hatred towards "chickens", bigots, and "richies". ICP calls redneck, hillbilly, bigots "chickens" and people who are rich yet do not donate or help others "richies." The first "little piggy" is the "chicken", as supported by the line "The first little piggy, his house is made of wood. He lives in a chicken, turky, piggy neighborhood." The second piggy is the bigot as he is a judge and gives Shaggy-2-Dope (one of the members of ICP) a sentence based on his looks: "He saw my joker's smile, and sentenced me a dime." The third little piggy is the richie, backed up by the constant talk about his money and riches and the starvation of those around him "People in my city, they fight for they meals. He sleeps on a mattress stuffed with hundred dollar bills." The members of ICP kill each pig at the end of each verse. The lesson of the song is that bigotry and being a "richie" are wrong "A richie is the devil...".
