It is obvious (may I say?) that the author of this parody is a big fan ot Syd's work. There are a lot of references of his songs: Interstellar overdrive (first riff), Astronomy domine (first part of the song), Take up thy stethoscope and walk (second part), One in a million (in the second part), Arnold Layne (organ solo in the second part) and Remember a day (the way slide guitar is used). Am I missing something? Would be glad to know.

Arnold Layne is in bad taste as are Careful with that axe Eugene and 90% of The Wall. The list continues...grow a pair and get on with Rock and Roll. Myself, I think you might have creativity envy. Since when were you elected to tame rock?
Also, Paul, that shit is very funny, clever, and groovy. I am a big parody fan and work with an informal group called The Song Butcherers. We suck, but it keeps our minds off of crime.
Hey you shiftless haters, get an effing clue! Have you never seen Spinal Tap, or The Rutles. You remind me of what I like to call "Coolio" people. "Coolio" WAS a popular rap artist until Weird Al Yancovich covered "Gangstas Paradise" as "Amish Paradise". Coolio flipped and "demanded" the song be pulled for being disrespectfull, fully missing the point that being covered by Al is an honor, suggesting you have "arrived". Even heavily broadcast complaints brought no sympathy.Haters limit themselve
@pauldullson for me man you do a great job.this song is in barrett's climax.the second tune on whole youtube based on syd's climax that i like.if you ever see that comment i preffer you to see THORN'S APPLE-THE PIPER'S TUNE.THAT SONG IS IN SYD'S CLIMAX TOO.ALSO THE GUY SUNG THAT LIKE BARRETT.CHECK OUT.GREETINGS FROM POLAND :) SORRY FOR MISTAKES IF THEY ARE HERE ;)
A commemorative PF remastered set for the benefit of Syd being dead whom they couldn't be arsed with when he was alive is a bit cheeky. Loosen up, funky bro. This old fan will not participate in you offer of a nice gang-bang on the bloke who uploaded this.
Oh yes, loved it;)) Viv Stanshall or C.P. Lee would be proud of doing this. Seems some folks sense of humour isn't really bizarre enough to get it yet.
This is FUNNY...although I get your drift,It's only good that that this great music get's rereleased for people who weren't around the first time. Because if it hadn't, you'd have to dig REAL deeep, to get these sounds.I bought 'm all first time round ,so I have no guilt about downloading it for free.

there's parodies which are funny, and then there is tasteless, uncreative, insulting crap like this. if you dont like pink floyd you do not have to make rude videos such as this. i dont like you and you dont see me posting insulting videos of you.
Last I recall, Syd Barrett was a human. Humans tend to have this strange thing called "a sense of humor" within them, as well as a part of their brain that tells them "Youtube videos aren't serious business and can therefore be humorous." This is mildly amusing, and Syd might have found it amusing himself. Have you met him? Do you know he would be insulted? Coming from a huge Pink Floyd fan/living Pink Floyd encyclopedia/open minded human being, I found this video enjoyable.
Do us a favour im genuinely interested in hearing some of your musical efforts put some up with your own ideas something original maybe that would be cool.
@RYANKOKO The Martin Scott-Tumbling videos on this page feature "original songs" I've written. There's also the Herd of Us songs here and on the MySpace page.
Thank you for demonstrating just how much of a retard you really are....no doubt a point well noted by other musicians like myself who just happen to be Floyd fans. Close the door on the way out you partially educated young fellow. LMAO at you.
Its deep in meaning and very trippy it has another meaning if you were to try LSD, but it also happens to be awsome and clever music u can listen to on any other drug or even sober. Get it now?
The mono version is like a breath of fresh air compared to the butchered stereo version. And the 30th anniversary mono remaster sucked compared to the new 40th anniversary, so I don't see what this video's on about.
It's definitely worth getting. The third disc and packaging are also very worth it!
Fair enough point - when are we going to get the REAL treasures ?! Not badly done too. And I am a HUGE early 'Floyd fan... not sure why some have taken it so badly..... ah well
that's someone with even more time to waste than the rest of us losers wasting our time on youtube instead of actually doing something with our lives. I mean that is far out
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
piss off quick then,you and your mates likely arse over tit givin each other a good stern buggerin aint ya bloke?bleedin wankers you are.lol.i made that up im american...but seriously GET BENT YA BLEEDIN MARYS,ARSE MONGERS THE LOT A'YA......
taken far too seriously. im a massive floyd fan, but i dont see anything disrespectful about this. lighten up. its actually quite cleverly done. nice one
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha sorry im not laughing at this disrespectful video i just had an image of the creator of the video burning to death while screaming "help me help me" which no one did because they were all pink floyd fans...fuckin knob!!!!
Well, that's the odd thing about humour - it's subjective. Some people enjoy irreverent pop parodies (eg Syd Barrett's own 'Bob Dylan Blues' which 'disrespectfully' lays into the Zim's ability to sing heartfelt protest songs while simultaneously counting all the money he's earned from doing so).
Other people prefer to laugh about such irreverent piss-takers dying horribly in fire-related accidents. (There's a nice Viv Stanshall clip up here actually. Should give you a right old stiffy.)
@pauldullson it's a parody and a stab at the money grubbing members of Pink Floyd, not at Syd. Paul you really are a bit dull son if you can't see that. Don't take life so seriously would be my advice, son.
@PeterDrucock Who the fock are you, to complain,if you yourself can't even make the effort to spell Barrett's name with capital letters ? "Disrespectful" Dick.....;]
This is tasteless, Are you bashing the floyd for releasing the anniversary deluxe edition of piper? Its not clear. And the Syd is dead bit is simply disrespectful, I don't find this humorous at all you silly cunt.
Megaphones and beeps - apes the beginning of 'Astronomy Domine'
Opening guitar riff = 'Steptoe and Son' theme in the style of 'Interstellar Overdrive' (Barrett was purportedly accused of basing the latter on the former)
"Floating through the air..." section - pastiche of 'Astronomy Domine' (albeit with different chords/melody)
"Repackaged as a three-disc set..." section = pastiche of 'Lucifer Sam' ("That cat's something I can't explain")
Very amusing way to make a point. You have to realize there is only a finite amount of classic Floyd material around. Sure they could release the archives on a 4 disc set or whatever, but then what do we have to look forward to after that? At least if the rarities are trickled out with existing material it keeps the music "alive" especially for the younger crowd. Although there's the risk that we might not hear everything there is on our lifetime.
There's actually quite a few live recordings that could be released. There's a number of BBC recordings, for instance, as well as TV appearnaces from the early days.
If nothing else, they should release the two BBC concerts from 70 and 71. Those would make a really nice two CD set.
The BBC also recorded Dark Side Of The Moon, live in Lonndon in 74, which buries the Pulse version.
very funny. I like the steptoe bit at the beginning. A tad too much effort tho me thinks. Go to the shop and buy a loaf of bread. Help brake the day up a bit
Though is someone being forced to buy a boxed set of Piper if they don't want to? No. In a world of very real issues to get worked up over, moaning over the option to buy that album is pretty lame.
This is awesome -- and so true. When I heard about the box set release I thought it sounded really cool until I realized it was pretty much stuff already released, even the rarities. They should have added a "Beatles-Anthology"-style disc with outtakes, alternate takes, demos, etc.
ehh I thought it was pretty funny actually >.>

There's actually quite a few live recordings that could be released. There's a number of BBC recordings, for instance, as well as TV appearnaces from the early days.
If nothing else, they should release the two BBC concerts from 70 and 71. Those would make a really nice two CD set.
The BBC also recorded Dark Side Of The Moon, live in Lonndon in 74, which buries the Pulse version.

very funny. I like the steptoe bit at the beginning. A tad too much effort tho me thinks. Go to the shop and buy a loaf of bread. Help brake the day up a bit

Sad but true. It is already not a very long period and the only thing EMI does is release material which was already released...

Though is someone being forced to buy a boxed set of Piper if they don't want to? No. In a world of very real issues to get worked up over, moaning over the option to buy that album is pretty lame.

Hell, it's on all the bit thingies for free... I mean really.
It is nice though. Scrape together the bread; it's worth it. The differnet mixes are neat.
(I just went and got it on record though... oh well, oop, ha.)

This is awesome -- and so true. When I heard about the box set release I thought it sounded really cool until I realized it was pretty much stuff already released, even the rarities. They should have added a "Beatles-Anthology"-style disc with outtakes, alternate takes, demos, etc.
