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 reached # 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1993 , and charted even higher in the UK , where it reached # 5 . The chart success can be partly attributed to the song 's unique and heavily aired music video . The song was ranked # 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 ( edit ) 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 ( edit ) 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 .
