About two years ago I was on one of those nice stoned country drives with a friend who always plays the most bizarre music. A song came on that was really nice, a sweet little folky-sounding acoustic ditty which was about animals. Each verse was a cute little story about a different animal, I think. And then all of a sudden towards the end there’s a verse about a farmer “fucking a sow” and siring half-pig, half-human offspring.

?!?!

I’m pretty sure I asked the guy who was singing the song, but I’ve since forgotten. I seem to recall it sounded a lot like either Devandra Benhart or Ted Leo. Could it have possibly been either of those two?

I wonder if you may have heard Devendra Banhart’s [Little Yellow Spider](http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=3530822107858514590). It contains these lines:

**And hey there, little sexy pig, you made it with a man  
And you’re got a little kid with hooves instead of hands…**
