Lone ranger loved animal noises:

My guess is some guy heard the shouts wrong.
"Oink!" sounds abit like the "Right!" shout. Also "Riddim!" is very similar to "Ribbit!".
Does anyone know the origin of the shout "Bim!"?

"What About Right Oink" by Clint Eastwood & General Saint was out on their Two Bad DJ album which is from 1980 I believe. That is before Fathead really hit the scene I think.
