Helter Skelter, features several Beatles songs, including "Piggies" and Harrison's White Album track "Long, Long, Long", both performed by the group Silverspoon. The song was also covered by Danbert Nobacon, lead singer of the anarcho-punk band Chumbawamba. Titled "Piggies in Revolution 9", Nobacon's version appeared on the 1989 album Fuck EMI, a multi-artist compilation protesting EMI's business practices, particularly the company's involvement in cruise missile production. Having become available on bootleg albums from 1991 onwards, Harrison's 1968 demo was released on the Beatles' Anthology 3 compilation in October 1996. Recorded on an Ampex four-track recorder, the demo features Harrison playing two acoustic guitar parts, and a double-tracked lead vocal. Harrison performed "Piggies" throughout his 1991 Japanese tour with Eric Clapton and at his Natural Law Party concert in London in April 1992. With synthesizers replicating the classical arrangement, a version recorded at the Tokyo Dome on 15 December 1991 appears on Harrison's Live in Japan double album. Phish included "Piggies" in their performance of The Beatles on Halloween 1994, which was released in 2002 as Live Phish Volume 13. The harpsichord from the original Beatles recording was mashed with Jay-Z's "Change Clothes" for a track on Danger Mouse's The Grey Album in 2004. For the Beatles' 2006 remix album Love, compiled by Martin and his son Giles, the harpsichord and cello parts were mixed into the ending of "Strawberry Fields Forever". The song was covered by Pumajaw for The White Album Recovered, a CD distributed with the September 2008 issue of Mojo magazine. That same year, former Cars keyboardist Greg Hawkes issued a ukulele rendition on his album The Beatles Uke.
