Some people are attuned to the music, which is pretty relaxing. Others are attuned to what is being said. Which indeed, is a complete teardown of modern socioeconomic structure.
@@MhantraxI’m not going to deny that the album has moments of relaxing music, I’m just trying to say that relaxing probably isn’t the best adjective to assign to the album on the whole, and that if you were to tell Roger Waters “hey I just listened to Animals, thanks for the relaxing music!” his reply would likely be to scold you for not really listening and to try again lol
@@Mhantrax- The interplay between the calm music (the population taking oppression lightly) - AND the fierceness of the lyrics is part of the magic of the tune... You won't fully understand the lyrics on the first play through anyway (unless you're reading them).. 👍
That picture is the Battersea power station in England. During the photo session, their giant inflatable pig broke lose and cause Airports to delay flights. Eventually, the pig was shot down by a farmer.
I still think Animals is my favorite. I saw this concert in 77 Cleveland. Around the time of Animals the band was true masters of music. All Pink Floyd albums are magic but this one was just different.
Was that the show where their plane buzzed Cleveland Municipal Stadium and the band got a "large fine"???? And I put the fine part in qutes because I believe it was only like $25,000, which the band had in thier couch coushions by that time....😂
At seventy yrs old it tickles me to see these youngsters enjoying Pink Floyd . Understanding And Experienceing All the pinkness we have for Over fifty yrs.
😂 I’m the exact same way… I’ll listen to Meddle and be like THIS is IT… then I’ll play Sine on PT 2 when I go sleep and just be in love with it.. then I’ll play Animals and be like OMG no.. THIS is the best!!!. 😅
Older friends introduced me to "The Wall" film when I was 14, in 1986, and I was mesmerized. It hit me so hard. I was and still are a very emotional person, so The Wall movie just fucked with me emotionally. It was not until many years later, someone I was dating had a uncle who was cool with me, he xmas gifted me "Wish You Were Here" in 1996. "Shine On" is 26 minutes in total? What?? I lost my mind. Animals followed, then Dark Side (perfect LP), then "Meddle" (Echoes is my favorite song of all time at 23+ minutes. Just glorious), then the technically Roger Waters solo LP released under the Pink Floyd brand "The Final Cut" is fucking gorgeous and emotional. True legends. Fuck the beef. They did it. It's done. Bow down!
You know what's nice about Pink Floyd? It's that you're up to a surprise for EACH of their albums. And they have A LOT of albums covering multiple decades! I reiterate my suggestion that I made on another video : you should react to Live at Pompeii or Meddle. It's from their experimental years and Echoes is certainly a must for you to react if you wanna go the Pink Floyd rabbit hole. It's a kind of Shine on You Crazy Diamond equivalent (a long musical piece). And before Echoes you had Atom Heart Mother as well... And the darker mood of Ummagumma... and so many others. Anyway ; love your reaction man, keep it up.
My favorite Pink Floyd Album…it’s an experience…I really enjoyed your reaction…I was going to bed…so I just closed my eyes & relaxed😌…Peace & Love to you! I’ll leave you a green heart 💚 for our love for The Philadelphia Eagles 🦅 🏈
I grew up in the '70's. I literally grew up on Pink Floyd! My mom & Dad and then a Stepfather all played Pink Floyd. I've been a steady listener since.😎😊
keep dancing. Great to see a young man like you that gets Pink Floyd, I don't know if you have reacted to Echoes 1972 live in Pompee it's going to blow your mind 😂. It's a must watch
Really enjoying your reaction. When you stated you have to listen to the whole album. Thats so true my man. You’re a Floyd fan for sure. Get that green and toke up!! Edit: Get the lyrics to their stuff. They say some hard 💩then the music takes off hardcore after those statements. Your subconscious was hittin you during this. The subject matter on this album is really heavy.✌️
The building in the artwork is Battersea Power Station, it still exists but is now a shopping complex. The pig floating between the chimneys was really done.
The majority of Pink Floyd's post Barrett albums are concept albums. Also, I feel like many songs are about Syd Barrett. You can feel the love they have for their former band mate.
Echoes live at Pompeii is brilliant, part one is music and singing, part two was mostly recorded in Paris, with more 'sounds' at the start and then bits of part one repeated, and then both parts were given a final edit. There is a wicked base line that kicks in, it goes into every part of you. Can't wait to see you react to it.
That's how you do it. One shot deal, front to back. Had this on 8track in 78 it just kept playing til I wore it out. Pigs on the wing pt 1 Dogs, Pigs 3 different ones, Sheep, Pigs on the wing pt 2. Don't worry, after you listen to it 100 times you will understand. It gets better and better as you go.
First off, PROPS for listening to the entire album in one shot. As all PF albums should. Next album should be Division Bell, musically my favorite Floyd album.
Once you're listening to Pink Floyd, your Music World change for all your life!!! That's what happened to me since 1973, and I still ( at my 65 years old) stand on another planet each time I listen to them!!!
You are a very good reactor! I was at this Animals concert in 1977 in Milwaukee WI. Best concert of my life. 66,000 people crammed in the stadium. We were lucky enough to have grass passes so we were close to the stage. They flew a huge pig like the one on the album cover and when it flew over it exploded in the parking lot and damaged cars, lol we were all so high we thought it was part of the concert. Those were the days back then, too bad cell phones were not invented yet because I would have recorded it. Thanks for you reactions to this, it is so cool to see that the music is still appreciated. I will subscribe to you now.
In my opinion, it's between Animals, and The division bell (without waters the dictator😂)....The wall is a deliryum from waters, the most egocentric musician ever😢Great album, but from a Nazi, like at the end of the movie....Dark side of the moon, is full of hits, but not the best! Animals, is, probably, the best production, the best songs, the best instrumentals, lyrics, psychedelic, and poetic at the same time....Same for THE DIVISION BELL....THE BEST OF PINK FLOYD!😢❤
If you react to "The Wall" next, you might want to do 2 or 4 videos for this double album. You probably won't fully understand the story the music tells until you see the movie they made. I've never seen a reaction to the movie, so I don't know if it would be allowed. Would it make sense to make reaction videos to the music, then watch the movie off-camera, and then talk about the movie?
@justiceServ - I enjoyed the hell out of seeing you discover what we've known for years. Sit back, close your eyes and get swallowed up by this album. Its by far the best way to enjoy it. The more you listen to it, the more the story of Animals will come to you. Thanks for a great vid and welcome to Pink Floyd
This is a real place called the Battersea Power Station in the middle of London. It’s been decommissioned and retrofitted into a fancy shopping and residential area. Still iconic looking.
Hey brother,love what you do.Something you really got to hear is Lynard Skynards song "Free bird" live in Oakland 1977.It is a masterpiece and I'm sure millions would agree. Tragically the bands plane crashed 8mths after this concert killing lead singer Ronnie van Zant,& two other members of the band plus 5 others onboard the plane,all other band members where seriously injured,28 people where on the plane.I can't wait to see your reaction, you'll be blown away,it's some of the best of in rock & roll history and I'm gunna hassle you everyday till you do a video of it. Love & Peace.
The cover was actually a photograph made of Battle Sea Powerstation in the UK. They tethered a 60ft high inflatable pig above the station and it got away! It was later sighted by commercial aircraft flying high above the clouds before it was recovered and used in their live concerts...I've seen it many times! They built a few new ones when they toured The Wall. It was meaner looking with light up red eyes!
Hey, Justice, I love your thoughtful reactions (esp. David Bowie-Space Oddity).. seems like your choice of the word "relaxing" for this album has confused people.. I get it a bit though, this is a record I would put on, drop the blinds, and lay back to listen (true, most PF back in the day).. the lyrics and content to "get" PF require a lot of patience, which I can see you have.. the thing is, the whole album was considered a heavy statement about society in general (a la 1984, by Orwell) anyway, I really enjoy your reactions and look forward to more... (p.s. My favorite on this album is also "Sheep" - but also, RIP to genius Richard Wright on keys & synths.. sound like dogs, pigs, sheep.. )
Not exactly meant to sound "peaceful", instead a scathing commentary on British society and politics at that time. Roger was not singing about daisies in the park.
I dont know if you read these but great reaction again. You make it enjoyable to watch. I would suggest another pink floyd album, of course. I would suggest The Wall. The album that ended Pink floyd bro. Theres other albums you can listen to and love but I think you should listen to The Wall. Its a DOUBLE ALBUM. which means its like a hours and some but I'm telling you .. fire 🔥 from start to finish. Then you should listen to Echoes.. but that's another day
I can see floyd is starting to play with your head, i noticed you deflecting. I get that. I was the same. Not sure how to take them......and then bam, that unsettling click and they are there. As the saying goes' you dont need drugs to enjoy pink floyd, you need pink floyd to enjoy drugs'.. Point being that pink floyd are a band that lifts you into funny unsettling realms of emotions and state of being. I dont do drugs( bit of mary jane when younger) and they are my favourite band.Geniuses. And to think they are from the beatles era.
This LP was shocking , depressing , addictive , informative. It deals with every horror imaginable . Murder ,slaughter , submission , deception , betrayal , suicide , aging , death. Not a sunny uplifting piece ,yet so profound, it is a masterpiece.
Hey Justice if you want to see a great live video by the Floyd, watch Learning to Fly from the Monentary Lapse of Reason album. The drummer who jumps up to hit his cymbals is fun….but still love Nick Mason on drums. He makes it look so easy and smooth….but we all know it’s not easy
absolutly love that you are listening to full Floyd albums. You cant really experience the Floyd listening to random individual songs. During the Roger Waters years, each album is like a book, each song a chapter in the book. You can listen to individual songs and they are great, but when you hear the whole thing in its entirety, its different world, mind blowing epic level great.
Listen to it again, listen to the lyrics and research the meaning behind the animals...read George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' and it will bring a whole new perspective. Love your videos! ❤
What I find interesting, is that a 22yr old can listen to music recorded 47yrs ago, but still relate to it. When I was 22, listening to music recorded 47yrs earlier was unthinkable because that would have meant listening to stuff from the 1920's and 30's!😂😂😂
Animals is an amazing album, next come The Wall, its a double album and also should be listened to the whole way though, and tells a great but dark story.
Your right songwriting does carry on sometimes from album to album. Try the Band Rush. If you want to hear a story. The 2112 album might be a good place to start.
U really need to hear Pink Floyd's first album "Pipers At The Gates Of Dawn" and their las album with Roger Waters "The Final". This the next album after "The Wall.
My second fave PF album. Read Animal Farm...it is a quick read and the inspiration of this album! This is why my generation dismisses a lot of pop and hip hop!
Interesting that you said how relaxing this album is, when in reality it's maybe Floyd's most aggressive album from the sound and lyrics. But you are absolutely right, it is relaxing and aggressive at the same time, and that's an art only the best of the best can accomplish, like Pink Floyd. Love your album reviews and I think it's awesome that younger people are eager to explore the music of the past. With Pink Floyd you have opened a big rabbit hole of music. They are my second favorite band behind only Led Zeppelin. I think you've already reacted to some Led Zeppelin songs, but it would be great to also react to some complete albums of them. You will not be disappointed, the first four albums has no bad songs, one great song after the other. Maybe you give it a try. Keep up the good work, sir. Oh, and sorry for my bad english, I am from Austria.
About the second song. Dogs are used in Animal Farm as a force like military or police, but in this song theyre being compared to greedy businessmen "You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to, so that when they turn your backs on you, you'll get the chance to put that knife in" In the book, the farmer would tie a rock to his dogs when they got too old and lost their teeth, and throw them in the river to drown, hence the lyrics "and when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sewn, and as the fear grows the bad blood slowly turns to stone" "So have a good drown, as you go down all alone, dragged down by the stone."
I could be totally wrong but I always felt that since the dogs are dead this piece starting around 12:46 sounds a lot like funeral march either way it's fantastic and do you see the pig floating between the chimney
“Relaxing” is an interesting adjective to describe what is perhaps the most scathing sociopolitical commentary ever set to rock music.
timeless is a good adjective
Some people are attuned to the music, which is pretty relaxing.
Others are attuned to what is being said. Which indeed, is a complete teardown of modern socioeconomic structure.
@@MhantraxI’m not going to deny that the album has moments of relaxing music, I’m just trying to say that relaxing probably isn’t the best adjective to assign to the album on the whole, and that if you were to tell Roger Waters “hey I just listened to Animals, thanks for the relaxing music!” his reply would likely be to scold you for not really listening and to try again lol

@@Mhantrax- The interplay between the calm music (the population taking oppression lightly) - AND the fierceness of the lyrics is part of the magic of the tune...
You won't fully understand the lyrics on the first play through anyway (unless you're reading them).. 👍
Probably STILL my favorite Pink Floyd album & I've been listening to it since 1977.
Me too. You don't just listen to this album, you experience it.
Me too
Me too. ❤
Me three
This is one of the four or five GREAT albums from their classic period. Over the years it has become my favorite. And that’s saying something.
listening to entire Floyd albums in one sitting is The Way
Especially their concept albums, they are ment to be listen as a whole
Dogs is a great example of a song that, the more you listen to it the better it gets
I love seeing younger generation listening to Pink Floyd ! Enjoy young man … you’ve been floyded it’s a beautiful thing….
That picture is the Battersea power station in England. During the photo session, their giant inflatable pig broke lose and cause Airports to delay flights. Eventually, the pig was shot down by a farmer.
Algie wasn't "shot down" by a farmer; it just landed in his field, rather deflated, and scaring his cows.
The concept of this album is based off George Orwell’s Animal Farm. The animals are metaphors for certain types of people in the world
I still think Animals is my favorite. I saw this concert in 77 Cleveland. Around the time of Animals the band was true masters of music. All Pink Floyd albums are magic but this one was just different.
216 ✌️
I saw the Phoenix show. Magical. I saw Dark Side at SPAC, and Delicate Sound at the Carrier Dome. '77 was EASILY the best.
@@timothyburns815 l loved it back then. Tickets were cheap and most of the bands were touring.
@@timothyburns815 I saw The Wall in 1980. $35 I wish I could have seen Animals, I'm jealous.
Was that the show where their plane buzzed Cleveland Municipal Stadium and the band got a "large fine"???? And I put the fine part in qutes because I believe it was only like $25,000, which the band had in thier couch coushions by that time....😂
At seventy yrs old it tickles me to see these youngsters enjoying Pink Floyd . Understanding
And
Experienceing
All the pinkness we have for
Over fifty yrs.
It would be too hard to pick my favorite Pink Floyd album. I think it's which ever one I'm playing at the time.
I agree, but "Animals" is always the first one I would put on....
😂 I’m the exact same way… I’ll listen to Meddle and be like THIS is IT… then I’ll play Sine on PT 2 when I go sleep and just be in love with it.. then I’ll play Animals and be like OMG no.. THIS is the best!!!. 😅
Literally takes you on a journey of pure ecstasy, pure pleasure of the mind

My Favorite Album!!
Same
Without a doubt
keep dancing. Great to see a young man like you that gets Pink Floyd, I don't know if you have reacted to Echoes 1972 live in Pompee it's going to blow your mind 😂. It's a must watch
At the 9- or 10- minute mark of Dogs, when the theremin comes in, that's my favorite part.
Really enjoying your reaction. When you stated you have to listen to the whole album. Thats so true my man. You’re a Floyd fan for sure. Get that green and toke up!!
Edit: Get the lyrics to their stuff. They say some hard 💩then the music takes off hardcore after those statements. Your subconscious was hittin you during this. The subject matter on this album is really heavy.✌️
Listen to echoes love at Pompeii
He did recently
That's exactly what I was thinking..he has to see ' Live at Pompeii ' 😁🤘🎵🔥
It’s more than relaxing it’s transcending
1. Pigs on the wing (part one)
2. Dogs.
3. Pigs, three different ones
4. Sheep
5. Pigs on a wing (part two)
New suscriber, more of pink Floyd please
Greetings from México 🎉❤
The building in the artwork is Battersea Power Station, it still exists but is now a shopping complex. The pig floating between the chimneys was really done.
Pink Floyd is definitely a band that works best in whole albums, not mixed up somewhere in a playlist. Lovely watching you enjoy this album😊
Animals was so relaxing? Wow, man. Never would put that adjective with that album.
Pink Floyd FOREVER!!!🥁☘☮
The majority of Pink Floyd's post Barrett albums are concept albums. Also, I feel like many songs are about Syd Barrett. You can feel the love they have for their former band mate.
“He was only a stranger at home” the “businessman” of Dogs
My all time favorite album from ANYONE !!! In the summertime, after some hard work I take a toke, lay in my hammock and nap to this.
Echoes live at Pompeii is brilliant, part one is music and singing, part two was mostly recorded in Paris, with more 'sounds' at the start and then bits of part one repeated, and then both parts were given a final edit. There is a wicked base line that kicks in, it goes into every part of you. Can't wait to see you react to it.
So happy you are doing this one! This has big lessons of life in it for sure.
The True Gangsters.. Pink Floyd😎😊
That's how you do it. One shot deal, front to back. Had this on 8track in 78 it just kept playing til I wore it out. Pigs on the wing pt 1 Dogs, Pigs 3 different ones, Sheep, Pigs on the wing pt 2.

“You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to”
As you said, not many words, but Floyd do not need words
Their music says more than their lyrics. David Glimour is a GOD
First off, PROPS for listening to the entire album in one shot. As all PF albums should. Next album should be Division Bell, musically my favorite Floyd album.
Good reaction. I really appreciate it when I see you actually listening, more than "reacting"
Once you're listening to Pink Floyd, your Music World change for all your life!!! That's what happened to me since 1973, and I still ( at my 65 years old) stand on another planet each time I listen to them!!!
Nice one bro, well done getting it all in one piece! And so happy to see you getting the moves out again. And yes Sheep is the best!! ✌
Now listen again on your own. close eyes put your head back and just take it in.! It gets better every time.
You are a very good reactor! I was at this Animals concert in 1977 in Milwaukee WI. Best concert of my life. 66,000 people crammed in the stadium. We were lucky enough to have grass passes so we were close to the stage. They flew a huge pig like the one on the album cover and when it flew over it exploded in the parking lot and damaged cars, lol we were all so high we thought it was part of the concert. Those were the days back then, too bad cell phones were not invented yet because I would have recorded it. Thanks for you reactions to this, it is so cool to see that the music is still appreciated. I will subscribe to you now.
All the animal sounds are made using their instruments and voices.
Got to see the Pink Floyd Animals tour in 77~78. Still a top 3 concert for me, possibly my no. 1. Wish I remembered more of it.
I'm one of those crazy people that think this is their best album.
between this & dark side, I have a hard time choosing #1.
In my opinion, it's between Animals, and The division bell (without waters the dictator😂)....The wall is a deliryum from waters, the most egocentric musician ever😢Great album, but from a Nazi, like at the end of the movie....Dark side of the moon, is full of hits, but not the best! Animals, is, probably, the best production, the best songs, the best instrumentals, lyrics, psychedelic, and poetic at the same time....Same for THE DIVISION BELL....THE BEST OF PINK FLOYD!😢❤

Thank you young man for playing it all! Im jamming along with you
I'm one of those. A life time dedicated listener of Pink Floyd.😎
They call me a music snob! When it comes to new music,What do you expect when I grew up with the best music ever written!
This is a real place called the Battersea Power Station in the middle of London. It’s been decommissioned and retrofitted into a fancy shopping and residential area. Still iconic looking.
Defo my favourite Floyd album 👌👌
Sheep is still my favourite Floyd song after all these years. Roger's best vocal, in my opinion
Thanks man...!
I lived on this album for the spring and summer of 77.
2 or 3 times a day like meals.
Hey brother,love what you do.Something you really got to hear is Lynard Skynards song "Free bird" live in Oakland 1977.It is a masterpiece and I'm sure millions would agree.

Love & Peace.
I've been listening to this album since it came out and I'm still listening to it. Jealous that I'm not hearing it again for the first time.
Pigs on the wing parts one and two had a connecting electric guitar solo by studio guitarist Snowy White only released on 8-track.....it's soulgasm
The cover was actually a photograph made of Battle Sea Powerstation in the UK. They tethered a 60ft high inflatable pig above the station and it got away! It was later sighted by commercial aircraft flying high above the clouds before it was recovered and used in their live concerts...I've seen it many times! They built a few new ones when they toured The Wall. It was meaner looking with light up red eyes!
I used to put Animals on at night on loop to sleep to.
next album from Pink Floyd - The Wall = it's like a movie . 😎👍🎶🎶

Best album ever all about our totalitarian society sheep amazing track
Dogs is probably my favorite Floyd song. And that's saying something. 😊
My favourite pink Floyd album 😊🥰
I bought this LP when I was 12 years old . I must have played it 100 times the first month. This album is burned in my cranium permanently .
That's Battersea, now converted into fancy condos. There's also an animal shelter, so the dogs are still barking.
I dont know if you read these but great reaction again. You make it enjoyable to watch. I would suggest another pink floyd album, of course. I would suggest The Wall.

Give the lyrics a serious listen without thinking about us!!

As the saying goes' you dont need drugs to enjoy pink floyd, you need pink floyd to enjoy drugs'..
Point being that pink floyd are a band that lifts you into funny unsettling realms of emotions and state of being.
I dont do drugs( bit of mary jane when younger) and they are my favourite band.Geniuses. And to think they are from the beatles era.
"relaxation" is not what you felt.
it puts you down, steps on you and stares at you as you are being unable to think.
This LP was shocking , depressing , addictive , informative. It deals with every horror imaginable . Murder ,slaughter , submission , deception , betrayal , suicide , aging , death. Not a sunny uplifting piece ,yet so profound, it is a masterpiece.
Make sure you pass this music on to your kids.
Hey Justice if you want to see a great live video by the Floyd, watch Learning to Fly from the Monentary Lapse of Reason album. The drummer who jumps up to hit his cymbals is fun….but still love Nick Mason on drums. He makes it look so easy and smooth….but we all know it’s not easy
absolutly love that you are listening to full Floyd albums. You cant really experience the Floyd listening to random individual songs. During the Roger Waters years, each album is like a book, each song a chapter in the book. You can listen to individual songs and they are great, but when you hear the whole thing in its entirety, its different world, mind blowing epic level great.
and now listen to it again just focusing on the lyrics ;)
Dogs, pigs and sheep everyone falls into a category or has a little of each
timeless is a good adjective
Corrosion of Conformity
"Long whip/Big America" (bars brother)
The dude who sung this LP was Bass player Roger Waters.
You need to watch the movie The Wall and it will give you more context of the music 🤔
And meddle, echoes live would be good
You should react to Heroes by David Bowie. Do the full 6 minute version not the 3 minute one. One of the greatest rock songs ever made!
This one is very underrated
But there is nothing better than Pink Floyd meddle on shrooms
Listen to it again, listen to the lyrics and research the meaning behind the animals...read George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' and it will bring a whole new perspective.
Love your videos! ❤
Cowbell, mot a metronome. It's there on purpose
What I find interesting, is that a 22yr old can listen to music recorded 47yrs ago, but still relate to it.

We keep what we have by giving it away.
I'm glad you liked it

U really need to hear Pink Floyd's first album "Pipers At The Gates Of Dawn" and their las album with Roger Waters "The Final". This the next album after "The Wall.
Do the Reunion of Pink Floyd at Live aid.
You should get 🍁 🔥 twice as nice when listening to Pink Floyd. It helps to be in that mindset. 😅
My second fave PF album. Read Animal Farm...it is a quick read and the inspiration of this album! This is why my generation dismisses a lot of pop and hip hop!
Interesting that you said how relaxing this album is, when in reality it's maybe Floyd's most aggressive album from the sound and lyrics.
But you are absolutely right, it is relaxing and aggressive at the same time, and that's an art only the best of the best can accomplish, like Pink Floyd.
Love your album reviews and I think it's awesome that younger people are eager to explore the music of the past. With Pink Floyd you have opened a big rabbit hole of music.
They are my second favorite band behind only Led Zeppelin.
I think you've already reacted to some Led Zeppelin songs, but it would be great to also react to some complete albums of them. You will not be disappointed, the first four albums has no bad songs, one great song after the other. Maybe you give it a try. Keep up the good work, sir.
Oh, and sorry for my bad english, I am from Austria.
I beg to differ but the future will prove whoever is right right🙃
About the second song. Dogs are used in Animal Farm as a force like military or police, but in this song theyre being compared to greedy businessmen
"You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to, so that when they turn your backs on you, you'll get the chance to put that knife in"
In the book, the farmer would tie a rock to his dogs when they got too old and lost their teeth, and throw them in the river to drown, hence the lyrics
"and when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sewn, and as the fear grows the bad blood slowly turns to stone"
"So have a good drown, as you go down all alone, dragged down by the stone."
I could be totally wrong but I always felt that since the dogs are dead this piece starting around 12:46 sounds a lot like funeral march either way it's fantastic and do you see the pig floating between the chimney
I suppose it has to be 'The Wall' next!
