The members consisted of Daryl Wilson on vocals, Bob Skwerski on bass, Ken Fitzner on guitar, and Brian Czarnik (who played simultaneously in Oblivion) on drums replaced later by Brett Friesen (who played simultaneously in Houseboy). They formed during the Naked Raygun era which was where the band members met and also who they eventually opened for.
The group released a number of albums on Dr. Strange Records, though their first, minor releases was on Underdog Records.
In the summer of 1993, the band went on a cross-country road tour with the Smoking Popes.
Ultimately, the Bollweevils dissipated when Daryl completed medical school and became a doctor. Ken Fitzner (aka Ken Weevil) started a new band The Feds. The Bollweevils reunited for one show in late 2003 for WLUW, the college radio station at Loyola University Chicago, and then again on November 3 and played a show at Double Door and November 5, 2006 for Riot Fest at the Congress Theater, which Naked Raygun headlined. The group says it will play another show if they can get 1000 friends on their MySpace account . In 2007, the group posted on their official website: "The Bollweevils reunion at Riot Fest 2006 wasn’t a one-off deal and we're all super stoked to say that we’re a band again".
Ken Weevil is the creator of Fitzner's Law which is a rule of thumb created by Ken Fitzner, guitarist of the Chicago punk rock band The Bollweevils. The law reads as follows: Any song that contains the words "Hey" or "Go" is automatically good!

I'm A Hog For You Baby
The Bollweevils Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't get enough of your love
I'm a hog for you, baby
Can't get enough of your love
When I go to sleep at night
That's the only thing I'm thinking of
One little piggie ate a pizza (yeah)
But here's a little piggie comin' over your house
Gonna grab a love of your sweet lips
'Cause I'm a hog for you, baby
Can't get enough of your love
When I go to sleep at night
That's the only thing I'm thinking of, yeah
One little piggie went to London (yeah)
One piggie went to Hongkong
This little piggie's comin' over your house
Gonna love ya all night long
'Cause I'm a hog for you, baby
Can't get enough of your love
When I go to sleep at night
That's the only thing I'm thinking of
When I go to sleep at night
That's the only thing I'm thinking of
The Bollweevils's song "I'm A Hog For You Baby" is a playful and flirtatious tune about being extremely attracted to someone. The lyrics, "I'm a hog for you, baby, can't get enough of your love," convey the singer's insatiable desire for the person they're singing to. The singer compares themselves to a hog, which is a rather comical image, but also emphasizes the intensity of their attraction.
The second verse consists of a series of verses in which one little piggy ate pizza, another ate potato chips, and a third is going to "grab a love of your sweet lips." This verse is a nod to the well-known children's rhyme "This Little Piggy," turning the innocent nursery rhyme on its head with a humorous twist.
The third verse continues in the same vein, with a little piggy going to London and another to Hong Kong, but the last little piggy is coming to the object of the singer's affection to "love you all night long." The repetition of the refrain, "I'm a hog for you, baby," emphasizes the singer's lustful obsession.
Overall, the song is a fun and lighthearted ode to infatuation and desire, with a cheeky sense of humor.
