Kevin Clash provided the voice for the lead sister in a brief appearance in the 1990 home video Dance Along! In a 1998 episode, their first names are revealed (despite Sooey being the only name previously mentioned): LaVerne, Louise, and Lutrella. Between their debut and throughout the 1990's, the characters were seen primarily in punk rock outfits. Beginning in the late 1990's, their regular outfits changed to those similar to The Supremes. According to Elmo's World: "Families", "The Days of Swine and Roses" is the title of an Oinker Sisters album.
