Pigs (Three Different Ones)artist"Pigs (Three Different Ones)" is a song from Pink Floyd's tenth studio album Animals (1977). In the album's three parts, "Dogs", "Pigs" and "Sheep", pigs represent the people whom the band considers to be at the top of the social ladder, the ones with wealth and power; they also manipulate the rest of society and encourage them to be viciously competitive and cut-throat, so the pigs can remain powerful.
