Thread Name: Lyr Req: Auntie Alice (from Hogsnort Rupert)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Aunty Alice Brought Us this
Yup, Sorcha, band names just aren't what they used to was. Hogsnort Rupert was going back in the 60s. At that time I had a mate who caught wild 'Captain Cooker' piglets in the bush, and bring them back so we could fatten 'em for eating. We grew quite attached to them, and couldn't do the slaughtering and butchering ourselves, though we did eat the meat {somewhat guiltily}.
The first was Hogsnort (named for the band}, then Hogface, Hoglet etc..
