Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You slob
Standin' there Puttin' sugar in my hog
I'm gonna get you
I'm gonna get you
I'm gonna get you
In Montreal
Stealin' my girl
Takin' her around
Givin' her a whirl
Then I saw you
Puttin' sugar in my hog
Who do you think you are?
God?
I'm gonna get you
I'm gonna get you
In Montreal
In Montreal
It wasn't Sweet'N'Low
It wasn't honey
Wasn't maple syrup
Sure wasn't money
It was sugar
It was sugar
You put sugar
In my hooooo-oooo-aaaa-g
My hoooooo-aaaaaaaag
I saw you...
The lyrics of Fred Schneider's song "Sugar In My Hog" seem to be about a man who has been wronged by someone else, and is now seeking revenge. The first verse mentions the perpetrator putting sugar in the singer's "hog", which is likely a reference to his car or motorcycle. The act of putting sugar in a car's fuel tank is a common form of sabotage that can cause serious damage to the engine. The singer is angry and implies that he will seek revenge by saying "I'm gonna get you" three times. He also mentions the location where he plans to get his revenge, "In Montreal". It is unclear why Montreal is significant, but it may be because it is far from home and therefore a good place to hide out after seeking revenge.
The second verse seems to suggest that the perpetrator has also stolen the singer's girlfriend, which only adds to his anger. The singer is incredulous that someone would feel entitled to do such things, and questions whether the perpetrator thinks they are God. The chorus repeats the threat of revenge, emphasizing that it will happen in Montreal.
Overall, the lyrics are full of anger and frustration, and suggest that the singer has been deeply wronged. The use of the phrase "sugar in my hog" is an effective metaphor for the sabotage that has been done to the singer's property.

Cheetah Thunders.
If this was labeled "Lost Dead Kennedys song", I would have believed it. Fred and Jello sound similar anyway, and with that DK-esque heavy surf punk music, lol, it works.
