The Nazz

The Nazz was an American rock band formed in Philadelphia in 1967. The group was founded by guitarist and main songwriter Todd Rundgren and bassist Carson Van Osten. Drummer Thom Mooney and vocalist/keyboardist Robert "Stewkey" Antoni joined soon after. The group is best known for their debut single "Open My Eyes”, and "Hello It's Me". Their name was derived from the Yardbirds' song "The Nazz Are Blue". Between 1968 and 1969, the Nazz released two albums (Nazz and Nazz Nazz). Following the group's disbandment in 1969, a collection of archival Nazz recordings was compiled and released under the title Nazz III, and Rundgren recorded a solo version of "Hello It's Me" that reached number 5 on the U.S. charts. more »

I'm a human being now but I used to be a pig
  'Til they shortened up my nose
     and they made me wear a wig
  I'm afraid the things on piggy farm
     will never be the same
  Since they picked me for this job
     and they stuck me with a name
  It's a name, it's name,
     who ever heard of a pig with a name like

  Meridian Leeward - that's my name
  I fly around the sky in a big jet plane
  I'm a flash ace pilot, got my name on the wing
  I hang around with people
     and they don't suspect a thing
  You look like a person but you know you're a pig

  I'm not afraid of dying
     from some mad man's gun or knife
  When I was still a piggy, dying was a way of life
  I'm not a piggy anymore and I don't share that dread
  The other day for breakfast I ate half of Uncle Fred
  I wonder who ate the other half of Fred?

  I think I'd rather be a cop
  I think that's what I'd like to be
  I'd show you people a thing or two
  If a man in blue starts beating on you
  Look out 'cause it might be me
  You look like a cop but you know you're a pig
