[0vids]

This will never get old. :)

[calabiyou]

only sounds better with time

[TheGaeta63]

gran ballata...vai così Syd

[themagicmanmdt]

i never thought about this one for karaoke....

oh yes.

next time i'm dragged out.... it's happening.

[arnaud360]

Ahh I love this song.... makes me wanna cry.

Syd was such a genius...

[oneblueorange]

fanbloodytastic!!



[gabitangerine]

He reminds me of craig nicholls. Seriously check that guy out, his story is quite similar only that he is harder to understand and many get the wrong impression about him.

[Manuelrotella]

aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh



[angel8a]

that says cum cum

yummy yumy in the octopus ride

[bargeemike]

...and thanks to Dave Gilmour for taking over production and ensuring this little gem of an album (and song) saw the light of day.

[GGiblet]

Bless you for this FABULOUS quality upload of this classic!

AMAZING!!!! :)

[angel8a]

why this song doesn't have 15000000 of views... wtf!

[HowlingUnderground]

I like 0:00-3:47

[santhonym]

don't bring religion anywhere near a Syd Barrett song, "Please lease us here" as he says and go back to your church.

[dreekd80]

@tpipen22 what does any of that have to do with this song? you know, i consider myself a christian too, but one thing I absolutely CAN NOT abide by, is pushing my beliefs on others, dropping my personal choice of religion here and there, preaching to people, telling them what I think is right, and if they don't believe like I do, they will burn in hell forever. What CRAP! THE TRUTH IS YOUR OWN. That goes for every individual soul that lives and breathes, my friend.

[conorkilleenorjewboy]

@dreekd80 My thoughts exactly on religion. And being a Christian myself. Bugger anyone who says otherwise.

[steph1232009]

@tpipen22 Me and my sins are happily settled together thanks, but maybe another time

[maestrostring00]

@steph1232009 you are for thinking to comfortable of yourself

[BeholdAndSee93]

@tpipen22 prove it.

[newfuckingwave]

@tpipen22 yeah, that's exactly what i think when i listen to acid-fueled songs about sea creatures . . . .

[gangsterdog38]

i wish i could buy acid and talk to syd, but in S.C. its consitered treason to the u.s.  man i want to move away form america. it fucking sux here

[newfuckingwave]

@gangsterdog38 i feel like knowing anything about syd barrett would scare the shit out of anyone wanting to try acid

[argegreencrazy15]

probably one of the sweetest men i've seen and heard,a magical human too,gone too soon,he didn't deserved his own problems,geniouses like him disappear too fast,anyways...i love him,such an inspiring person <3

[lyonslaforet]

This is the best solo album recorded by a member of Pink Floyd but I find it hard to see it as an influence on numerous musicians.

[DNAblues]

@lyonslaforet who cares. Syd certainly was an influence but this album is pure Syd and that's all that matters.

[dreekd80]

I put this song into my mouth. I chew on it. I derive all proper nutrients, minerals, vitamins, molecules of goodness and wonder. Then, I swallow what is left and some time later I lay a psychedelic turd, which can be ingested to create QUITE an indooblifying effect!!! Verily much, this is a very tasty song, as well as good for you, yes? Yes, you see!

[dbrinkm1]

@dreekd80 ...dreek, only Syd has the right ...to be weird and bizzar....lol

[97Madcap]

Syd's best song I think

[shellyannbeck]

Mario 64, do you have all the lyrics? If so, would you share? :-)

[PBUDAY88]

R.I.P.Syd you were a genius

[63virgini]

the madcap laughs

[MrFrontallobotomy]

Anyone who can write a song about a shit fairground ride is a hero.

[mario64guy]

So much to fun to sing once you learn the lyrics. Especially "THE MADCAP LAUGHED AT THE MAN ON THE BORDER! HEY, HO! HUFF THE TALBOT! CHEETAH HE CRIED SHOUTED KANGAROO!" and the barrage of crazy lines that starts at 2:44. Fun to sing on karaoke night.

[PBUDAY88]

@mario64guy I dare you

[musicdork4ever]

@LfreedomOskatingVE old geezers grew up with awesome music :)

[LfreedomOskatingVE]

@musicdork4ever i have youtube to listen to great music like syd barrett:D

[ThePinkMadcap]

@mario64guy it's not "the madcap".Apparentyl it's "The Mad Cat".

[GRANKOR]

Love this song, it has a fantastic rhythm with the lyrics where it sounds like he's going to fall over himself and it'll all fall apart and it never does

[VL1302]

Great :-)

[28Shroomer]

really, such an amazing person... we all miss you syd! ='(
