What?? That’s Pink Floyd’s “Great Gig In The Sky”!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Gig_in_the_Sky

I always thought the story was that Roger Waters asked the vocalist to think about death, but perhaps that’s apocryphal. At the very least it’s appropriate for this video!



Hilarious. Had I known that I wouldn't have commented like the puppet I am.

I remember when the Killers song Somebody Told Me was all over the radio. I HATED that f'ing song. But I came to love the killers as a side note. When I found out later that was their song I couldnt help liking it more and myself less.


This happened to me with the Foo Fighters. That mentos music video they did- I hated the video, song, and I hated TFF. By the time their next song was out I hated it on principle. Finally I had to admit I was wrong, they were great. Now they are one of my favorite bands with some of my favorite songs.


Lol so it goes right? There was a time when I didn’t even like Pink Floyd myself, and that just makes me smile now :) To improve is to change . . .


I always thought it was supposed to be a woman orgasming. The last song, Eclipse, is about death.

edit:

> She was Alan Parsons' idea. We wanted to put a girl on there, screaming orgasmically. (David Gilmour)
