2007 is clearly the year of the Spiderpig. As soon as this fabled creature makes its appearance on , the entire cinema audience breaks out in song, chorusing with ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½r as he walks his porky pet along the ceiling. It¡¯s such a profoundly daft moment, a tubby guy and his new pal, having a swell time.
¡°Can he swing from a web?¡± ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½r croons, before reaching the only honest conclusion. ¡°No he can¡¯t ¡ he¡¯s a pig¡±. The song is child-like and addictive and the return of this theme ¨C orchestrated, at the end of the film, is an additional joy.
The animal has its own with nine thousand members, while You Tube is full of it. Sadly, the soundtrack isn¡¯t available this side of the pond just yet, with the exception of Green Day busking out the theme tune, but hey it¡¯s only ?18 on import.
After watching ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½r enjoying such intimacy with his lodger, combing his hair and stopping just shy of a kiss, you hope that the pairing returns in a fresh adventure. No matter that Maggie has spoken her first word, we want Matt Groening to go the whole hog.
