LHFH Theme Song

Post by Don

Since the beginning, we have really wanted a theme song that contains the story of how LHFH got to live with the Evil Asian Robot and explain why he is named Little Hog From Heaven. It could act as a title and front credit song.

I had written a simple little verse-chorus-verse-chorus back when we first started playing with the ideas in 2008.

I have been a really drawn to acoustic Americana recently. I got to see Ralph Stanley live (of O'Brother Where art thou fame) a months back and am a really big fan of the Cold Mountain soundtrack, both of which have lead me to discover some great Americana.



Reflecting back I think these as well that the Beverly Hillbillies and The Dukes of Hazard theme songs really inspired us.



On Tuesday January 5th, I refined some of the lyrics and settled on producing it in a Folky - Early Americana style. Bernard and I started to record a demo for the theme and we really liked it.

T-Bob look a listen when we met the next day for our production meeting. He really loved it but felt it was way to long. It was almost 1 minute long. So at T-Bob's suggestion we cut extra beats and removed some lyrics and tightened it up and got it down to 46 sec.

We were still laughing when we played it back for the last time that night, so it has passed the bench mark.

Here are the lyrics we are working with now.

Little Hog from heaven
was a curious pig
so he snuck out the fence to see what he could see
hit by a tractor
dead by 4:11
and that's how the piggy became
Little Hog From Heaven

Little Hog From Heaven
Little Hog From Heaven

waiting in line
at the pearly gates drank to much
and he just could not wait

followed Evil Asian Robot
to the bathroom door
and little hog from heaven
weren't in heaven anymore

Little Hog From Heaven
Little Hog From Heaven
spends all of his days with a robot friend
the adventures continue .. . .and they never ever end.
