Released on 12th September 1994, the band’s sixth single was "We Are The Pigs". The first song to be released from the Dog Man Star album, The Times commented, "Propelled by one of Bernard Butler's finest riff chord sequences and fuelled by the nightmare visions of Brett Anderson's lyric, the song romps home with a glorious chorus that combines old-fashioned sing-a-long appeal with an intriguingly sinister edge."

The single peaked at number 18 in the UK charts. The B-side was "The Killing Of A Flash Boy". This song did not appear on the Dog Man Star album, but in recent times, Brett has commented that in hindsight, he would have included the song in the album’s tracklisting.
