Pets - Porno for Pyros

"Pets" is a song by alternative rock band Porno for Pyros and the second single from their 1993 self-titled album Porno for Pyros. "The Cursed Female / Cursed Male" single preceded Pets, but saw only a limited radio station and promotional release, making Pets the first widely available commercial single from the album.
"Pets" became a No. 1 hit on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. In Australia, the song reached number 68 and came in at number 33 on the 1993 Triple J Hottest 100 countdown. The song's success was partly aided by a video directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris that received heavy rotation on MTV. They would later direct the critically acclaimed film Little Miss Sunshine.
