PASS THE PIGS Giant Dice Game

Product Information

Jeanette from Irvine, Cainteresting point double, tif town. i wouldn't agree for this album, but i think that idea does come out in dark side of the moon. Glen Bo from New Egypt New JerseyI thought of it as big business- pigs are the top owners and care nothing about people only profit-- dogs work for the pigs sort of managers and will lie, stab , cheat, and abuse to help themselves which in turn helps the pigs. sheep are the abused cheated lied to - sheep are the prey which the dogs prey on for the source of income for whatever the big business is manufacturing and selling. thats in my mind when I hear this album.

Pink Floyd might recreate the flying pig at Battersea Power

For Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, as for George Harrison, pigs had a meaning of sorts. Perhaps both songwriters were influenced by George Orwell’s Animal Farm, the darkly satirical fable first published in 1945 that has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. Orwell’s pigs were corrupt, venal, drunken, violent – and, in all too many ways, very much like us. In the book’s famous last sentence, the humbled creatures of Animal Farm, standing outside the farmhouse where pigs and men were drinking together, “looked from pig to man, and man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which.” Pink Floyd were making a new album, Animals, in a studio in Islington. Their chilling songs about man’s inhumanity contrasted sharply with the 37-degree heat and Abba’s Fernando trilling out of transistor radios across Great Britain. You’ve Gotta Be Crazy and Raving and Drooling, originally written for their previous album Wish You Were Here, were re-titled Dogs and Sheep and incorporated into a new story that borrowed from George Orwell’s Animal Farm by re-imagining the human race as three sub-species, with the subservient sheep brutalised by authoritarian dogs and pigs. Michele from Nyc, NjI find it quiet fascinating that everyone points to the obvious reference of the government being the pigs and the lambs being those who fall under their dierison....however, did anyone EVER listen to MOTHER and think perhaps in some way the pig has some conotation to his mother? seems alomist subconsciously obvious and I'm not on any THC to make this profound call....is anybiody out there? just knod if you can hear me? is ther anyone at all? Mourad from Lebanon, OtherI am a really big Floyd fan! Love them more than anything, especially Roger Waters -the creative genius of Pink Floyd-. I think the best 5 Pink Floyd's and which are a must to have are: Dark Side At The Moon,Wish You Were Here,Animals,The Wall and The Final Cut. A large toy sheep above a power plant reminiscent of the Battersea Power Station is shown on the cover of The Orb album Evil 39.Reed from Hagerstown, Inthis entire album is based on orwell's book 'animal farm.' if you have ever read the book, then you know exactly what im talking about. in this song. I believe the only other song Gilmour uses it on would by years later on Keep Talking. Pink Floyd originally commissioned a helium filled pig to fly over Battersea Power Station in 1978 to be photographed for the front cover sleeve of their new Album ‘Animals’. Jim from Long Beach, CaThis song is about when the police arrested fans at Pink Floyd in Los Angeles in 1975. They were "taking libeties" on the hippies using their powers to beat them and take their drugs..I remember hearing the report on the radio. I was 11.

Continent Latest news, analysis and comment from POLITICO’s editors and guest writers on the continent. Inflatable flying pigs were one of the staple props of Pink Floyd's live shows. The first balloon was a sow, with a male pig balloon later introduced in their 1987 tour. Pigs appeared numerous times in concerts by the band, promoting concerts and record releases, and on the cover of their 1977 album Animals. Explaining why he wasn’t wearing his SS-like coat, Waters told the crowd: “I know all about Kristallnacht.”

Tom from Norman, OkHmm, surprised no one has mentioned this yet. Pig #2 is supposed to be Margaret Thatcher, whose politics Waters obviously did not agree with. At all. "Good fun with a handgun" is basically saying he wants to shoot her. Waters has said as much many times.
