Harvard University is the epitome of academia. If you’re saying “fuck school,” you might as well flip off the most reputable, prominent, and pretentious institution

The children’s story “The Three Little Pigs” famously features a wolf trying to enter each pig’s house. The wolf declares, “Let me in, Let me in, little pig or I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!” Each pig responds, “Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin”
Miss Piggy is a Muppet, known for her prima donna attitude.
These two pop culture pig references are probably insinuating that the girl is fat/has a prima donna attitude, and Tyler/Dracula is taking her against her will.

Like in his song “Pigs Fly”, Tyler plays on a common saying. “It’s not over until the fat lady sings”, generally means that things aren’t over until they’re over
Tyler tells us to forget the fat lady, kids singing the forthcoming hook is the true sign of the apocalypse
The origin of the phrase “It ain’t over til the fat lady sings” comes from Grand Opera (think Wagner), where a few final arias consist of overweight, female, Grand Opera singers. This has built the perception that opera is often fat ladies clad in viking garb.
