Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article was a past project collaboration.

To-do list:

Fair use

Add fair use rationale to all images and sound samples (all except images already labeled free use).
Re-size large images around to 300 pixels (all "fair use" images), other than album covers (already done).

Articles

Expand all articles to at least Start class. Some song stubs can't be expanded and should be redirected to the relevant album article. Use the "Interstellar Overdrive" article as an example when editing a song stub.
Expand all of the Floyd's studio album articles to at least GA status.
See COTM for monthly collabs.

Project building

Add WikiProject Pink Floyd banner {{WPFloyd}} to all appropriate Talk pages.
Personally invite quality editors working on Pink Floyd articles to join the project.

If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list.

8-Track Song Order

I'm kind of confused as how this worked if PotW 1 and 2 were linked. Can someone tell me the track order of the 8-Track release of Animals Cowards 12:28, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

a looped 8 track means that after the last track is played the cassette starts all over at the first track, because the whole tape is ... a LOOP! Usually the part between the last track and the first track is silent, but the 8 track issue of Animals had this e-guitar part in it, so the transition from last to first track was as so that the two songs were connected.--87.122.4.174 01:43, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

......................

Actually, that's not how it works. The song order was rearranged and Pigs on the wing Part 1 and 2 were edited together, so the listener heard them first. The Snowy White guitar solo was added to bridge these songs. The looping of the 8-track has nothing to do with it in this case (I own the 8-track ... would happy to provide a picture so everyone can see how the songs are laid out). 8-tracks frequently had the song order rearranged so the songs could be fit into the available space on the tape. So, for the 8-track release the order is:

Track 1
"Pigs on the Wing" (this "song" is actually parts 1 & 2 edited together with the Snowy White solo in between)
"Dogs" (beginning)

Track 2
"Dogs" (conclusion)

Track 3
"Pigs" (Three different ones)

Track 4
Sheep

Not Folk Rock

I don't know why this is categorized as folk rock. It really isn't. It could be viewed that way because it's just an acoustic guitar and vocals. But It's not. Stairway to Heaven is more folk rock than this. The Battle of Evermore is folk rock. This isn't. Pigs on The Wing, parts one and two would be considered more as lieka shrot ballad than folk rock. I believe the genre should be changed, it's very unnacurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.255.22.231 (talk) 00:56, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrics

The song includes some lyrical allusions to both "Raving and Drooling" and its final form "Sheep".

"We would zigzag our way through the boredom and pain" comes from "Raving and Drooling", while "bugger" is in the Psalm parody from "Sheep". Jules TH 16 (talk) 20:35, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
