[BohemienGypsies]

Pink Floyd is my biggest inspiration to my trippy music. So check it out I would be much obliged.

[mcsavage89]

The only thing better than this song is this video :)

[Xav48]

Pink Floyd isn't Pink Floyd without David Gilmour

[Nick666Metal]

@Xav48 but gilmour is on this video .___.

[BloopBloop213]

Sad that people need drugs to be be happy...

[zapspace]

Nick Mason rules on shared lead vocal !!!

If you don't play kazoo Fudge you

[Chancestodolak]

He won it in the war

my favorite

[Donkeyn00b]

I love The Verve but their psychadelic music gives me headaches, so I came here to listen to this old gem instead :)

[jneil2007]

Pink Floyd makes me happy. I don't need drugs

[silentwulfsfan]

@jneil2007 I don't need drugs, but their always useful :)

[sjeesto1]

This was recorded for BRT (Belgian Dutch tv) in 1968 on the site of the 1958 World fair in Brussels. There were 5 songs all of them play back.

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

History Repeats: Riots in London August 2011

Another Mass Hysteria episode like 1944.

Don't eat the ergot-laced rye bread, England.

Meanwhile in Americal, downgrade to AA- by Standard & Poors.

Some dude on The news named Clegg talking about the riots in London today. i don't know what to think!

[sermax75]

Gilmour & Mason are the vocalists, not Waters. Gilmour sing always the first phrase "Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg" and Mason the second "he won it in the war in 1944" etc...the phrase "are they really sad for me..." is sung by Gilmour...Wright & Waters sing "miss Clegg another drop of gin..." etc..

[marceloelperry]

JUSTIN BIEBER TIRATE A UN POZO

[IriMuse10]

@marceloelperry que tendra que ver... ganas de hacer bardo nada mas

[marceloelperry]

@IriMuse10 hacer bardo implica que estoy bardeando a alguien y no pues que no ai nadie quien lo reciba y solo doy mi opinion

[IriMuse10]

@marceloelperry pero la pregunta es ¿que coño tiene que ver con pink floyd?

[BadtasteBraindead]

I bought a kazoo because of this song seriously

[flowerlove79]

isn't that syd's voice on this song?

[e3ruisdead]

This song makes me jolly.

[dreekd80]

Syd Barrett didn't write this or play on it. This is from Saucerful of Secrets, in which there is only one Syd song, "Jugband BLues' at the end of the album. I think Waters wrote this. Even if I didn't know this to be fact, you can just tell, this isn't Barrett's songwriting style at all.

[lazark]

@dreekd80 It is indeed a Waters song, with the theme of war and loss being the give-away. subsitute leg for life and it is yet another (sarcastically) resentful song about his father. As for this not being Barrett's style, i disagree, i think Waters tried to do a calque of that style on Saucerful of Secrets when they felt they had to somehow fill Syd's shoes. While it's not a perfect imitation, it's definitely Waters' jab at being Barrett and i think he did a pretty decent job at it.

[ledzeppize]

Nick Mason on vocals, LOL

[lazark]

@ledzeppize while this is, i think, the only Floyd song where Mason gets to sing lead, all of them but Waters sing lead at some point on the album version. however, this here is an early unfinished recording of the song and the "dear oh dear..." part is sung by Waters (Gilmour sings it on the album version). the ending is also radically different. i could use some help though: who sings the "had a wooden leg..." parts, Mason or Wright? Wright doesn't break his voice like that on other songs.

[sermax75]

@lazark Gilmour & Mason are the vocalists, not Waters. Gilmour sing always the first phrase "Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg" and Mason the second "he won it in the war in 1944" etc...the phrase "are they really sad for me..." is sung by Gilmour...Wright & Waters sing "miss Clegg another drop of gin..." etc..the song is the same version of ASOS, they are in playback...the difference between the two version is that in this version there's no kazoo in the final part of the song..

[macrobioticman]

Oh shit I just posted this and didn't even realize that the uploaded had called himself Arnold Layne lol, that wasnt a ref to you mate lol just me having a laugh lol. I love the Floyd

[macrobioticman]

Corporal Clegg had a wooden dick , he won it in a game wasn't it a shame that they wrote this sooonnnggg. arnold lane had a strange hobby! Collecting womens soiled panties so he could sniff them at night! Lol lol ha ha

[StefBarrett1976]

Great promo, love this song very much. Thanks for this video :o)

[MegaSpalman]

Syd, we miss you

[warmswarm]

@surreydodger Syd isn't in this video at all. That's Dave with the whistle. (^_^)

[surreydodger]

Syd isn't playing a Kazoo in the video, it's a whoopie whistle. That said, the instrument we can hear sounds like a Kazoo

[clashboy1977]

@surreydodger first off its a slide whistle not a "whoopie" whistle and second off theres no syd at all hahaha!

[Nolan012345]

I wonder if Dave felt silly with that kazoo in his mouth. Fuck it, it's still awesome.

[ThePaulpFiction]

That is one cool riff. Hendrix worthy.

[hilvldruid]

So heavy.

[comandernuf]

IMPORTANT NOTICE-thankes for playing your insturments

[thedarkglobe]

This song shows the eternal brighting flame of Pink Floyd. What a pleasure of men.

[todd291022]

The Floyd, Baby!!! Nothing is better.

Is this remix well known? It is so different from the album version - it's terrific.

[MrFloydTube]

@nyu6697 it's the mono version

[MrFloydTube]

@nyu6697 it's the mono version

[marnold6879]

yes it's mason who sings the overly british sounding lines...

[marnold6879]

lmfao gilmour rockin' that kazoo like it's nobody's bizness

[MrDodstink]

Without LSD is already trippy imagine using acid.

[moonchield365]

LSD,LSD

[moonchield365]

[darkincinerater]

The music in this video is better quality than the one on the album.

[ChrisRane]

Sober people don't write music like this

It's trippy as hell and I love it

[moxie96]

@ChrisRane people with severe bad musical taste affliction don't like this song or kind of music either...

[gustiydiego15]

Nice song!

Pink Floyd rules!!

[MickBirdPF]

awesome! greetings from holland

[Watchman5169]

[DanielJoseDiego]

[MrCrisDav]

Is a Classic Song... The legend of Rock...Pink Floyd

[k0stil]

don`t you think that david gilmour kinda looks like david bowie?

[elinmagg]

@k0stil ?? no...

[Sixtiesera]

@elinmagg i agree....

[Cleggs1000]

My dad was Corporal Clegg in 1945- probably no connection...

[EvilRedGoose]

is that Gilmour?

[derekdeprator]

yea this was like the only time nick mason sang, that's why you can't tell who it is. he never sang again did he? not too bad of a voice.

[Klindza]

@derekdeprator He did actually, in "Scream thy last scream"

[amtlpaul]

@Klindza Also in "One of These Days"!

[wgb01001]

@slipdrum80

No it wasn't. It's David and Roger. Other videos show them lip-syncing to Syd's vocals, but this ain't one of them.

[slipdrum80]

@wgb01001

My mistake!

[kenfig]

What a band they were then

[seweryne30]

LSD song !

[Burbah]

FOXY LADY!!!!

[maxim2266]

@Burbah

DAAAAAAAAM

psyc rock is the best!

[clashboy1977]

best track on that album i always skip from this to jugband blues. have no time for the other 2 (only 2) shit tracks on the album!

[JimmyRimsphere]

That key change at the end... it's not on my album Saucerful, it just stays the same and there is more kazoo shenanigans

[1967DodgeVan]

i wish i had a ruffle shirt

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

Love seeing Gilmour shred that Kazoo!

[JimmyRimsphere]

@ZeppelinFloydRoses

Only David Gilmour can squeeze those kazoo notes out of a slide whistle

[Hhound]

needs more cow bell

[Traydon3211]

who sings this song?

by the way one of my favorite pink floyd songs

[herbleus]

@Traydon3211 David and Rick sing it, and Nick sings the "He won it in the war..." and "From her majesty the Queen..." lines

[napomania]

@herbleus I thought that those funny parts were sang by Waters, i'm quite sure about that

[herbleus]

@napomania I'm sorry but you're wrong. Water's doesnt even sing in this song, I checked that on a Floyd related website. Nick Mason sings that lines.

[skinnyhell94]

@herbleus then whats the part that syd sings???

[herbleus]

@skinnyhell94 Syd doesn't sing in this one. The only song in A Saucerful of Secrets in which he sings is Jugband Blues 

[herbleus]

@slipdrum80 No, he doesn't. He has nothing to do with this song.

[mujuma]

This Song seems really out of place on the Album. Sound, vocals, everything.

[richysst]

yes so proud of him

[apacolipps]

"His boots were very clean."

[zed0469]

@apacolipps ... Mrs Clegg you must be proud of him, Mrs Clegg another drop of gin.

[apacolipps]

Best kazoo solo in a rock song, bar none!

[Justen1980]

@apacolipps Beck did one on "Steal my Body Home" , at the very end of the song, it's creepy check it out

[XxscenekidzrulexX]

@apacolipps he's actually playing a slide whistle but squeezing kazoo notes out lol cuz david is awesome

[lovesclareybum]

anyone eva seen tv comdey black books with bill bailey??>..intro sounds like music to that

[genesisrock43]

see what you mean

[miamad]

Wow, could this be any worse?

[hangmanneal]

what is wrong with you i love this song!!!!!! haha kazoo i love it!

[rokysyd11]

This is Roger Waters trying to sound like Syd.

[sasybee]

however, it's an awesome one

[pigonthewing1972]

another drop of gin????

[miamad]

This is before Gilmour became a fatass.

[sasybee]

ahah lol

[Amunooo]

i love to listen pink floyds when im high...

[Whippettussi]

syd <3

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

Best kazoo solo in history!

[bla647]

psych good

[ILLKRILLKILLER]

Syd was very talented, how many different instruments could he play?

[greenfuzzz16]

i think theres also slide kazoos

[themccookinator]

Is there any reason the kazoo solo is being played on a slide whistle in the video?

[greenfuzzz16]

is rick doing that guitar sound on the keyboard in the mrs. clegg chours?

[themccookinator]

It depends on which one you're talking about... the wah quarter notes are definately Gilmour on guitar, but the eerie sounds in the background I'm not sure about.

[britdemmen]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

[FurryOwlet]

Arnold Layne.

The version they filmed in Britain.

[roflcopter804]

arnold layne

[rileyhisteria]

the one where he yells "why cant you see" is arnold layne :)

[tylerbob94]

The riff sounds like jimi hindrix foxy lady

[popwarskatemore7]

yeah i was thinking the same thing man

[rach6st]

haha thats weird because I was trying to think what it reminded me of now I see.

[Epicous]

David Gilmour is singing

[LesPaulGoldTop21]

Good song!

[acidman135]

no thats david singing it. same thing on see emily play. syd has a little deeper voice.

[strawberrypicker123]

so syd is singing this song right?

and roger wrote it?

[jesus201866]

I don't think wrote this song. He didn't write much until after Syd Barrett

[Cgrrp]

Roger Waters wrote the song. David Gilmour and Nick Mason sang it. Nick sings the parts like "he won it in the war, in 1944", the rest is David. Syd only played on 3 tracks on Saucerful of Secrets: Set the Controls, Remember a Day and Jugband Blues (which was also the only song he wrote on the album).

[clashboy1977]

@Cgrrp you're right but this song is definetly watres writing in syds style in keeping with the band's "direction" if you could call it that!

theres definetly some syd in this song even though he had absolutely nothing to do with it haha!

[sleepers1124]

water's actually wrote this song, its where you begin to see him exserting his influence.... and where you see where the band is sort of headed.

[goodperson656]

They call me Mr Tinkertrain

[JackSharks74]

Wicked song. Though I guess now we know where Austin Powers got his frilly shirts from: he stole them from Nick Mason's attic, haha.

[AdamMoss13]

thats right baaaabee

[dazzera112233]

1:19 it goes a bit chorlton and the wheelies

[anitasseo]

ay, pero falta syd.... NO.

[lou2406892]

eso es lo peor.

Lo bueno es que llegó alguien del calibre de David, que lo que siempre digo: "David no llegó a sustituir a Syd, solo llegó a dar un sabor diferente a la banda".

Pasala chévere Anita.

; )

[anitasseo]

gracias.. sí, por lo menos gilmour es un copado..sinó con el amargo de waters solo no sé qué hacían. je

[uberrobi]

All hail the allmighty floyd!

PS: Gotta love 1:18 ! =P

[squarepyramid99]

Triffic

[goodperson656]

LMAO look at mason and gilmour there so young lol...

[rudmarul]

wow.... thanks, nice video

[matildafloyd]

Hi, matildamothers ;)))....u ma sista??

[Matildamothers]

To be honest The Beatles had "Tomorrow Never Knows", "She Said She Said""Strawberry Fields Forever, Sgt Pepper title track, and "A Day in the Life" in the bag before Pink Floyd recorded their first single "Arnold Layne". That does not mean Pink Floyd were copycats. No one was creating songs like Astromony Domine or Interstellar Overdrive. Interesting Sgt Pepper and Corporal Clegg have a similiar guitar riff at the start of the song.

[marios745]

This a brillant song.

gomektampa (1 month ago) Show Hide 0 Marked as spam Reply | Spam This must have been the day after they kick Syd out of the band! His voice is still on the recording.

sparklerdims (3 days ago) Show Hide 0 Marked as spam Reply | Spam syd didn't sing at all on this song, if anything he might have played some guitar, but most info points to it only being dave.

[0hmprakash]

I hate to say it but I think Ween borrowed heavily from the early years of Pink Floyd. Especially this song, Scream Thy Last Cream, and Vegetable Man.

[sparklerdims]

syd didn't sing at all on this song, if anything he might have played some guitar, but most info points to it only being dave.

[dartagnanv]

The video is pretty old, but I still love this song and all others from the same album. ^^

[frEEturk]

This a brillant song.

[Flote666]

didnt nick sing this song?

[axzck]

yes

[sparklerdims]

no, it's dave and roger. it's rumoured that Nick sang Scream Thy Last Scream, otherwise only offically he 'sings' on One of these days

[mabewa]

Actually, there is a lot of Rick in there too, especially on the chorus. There isn't a lot of Roger, but I do think he sings the "he won it in the war" part. I've heard people say that Nick or Syd is in there--funny, because depending on who you talk to, all 5 of them sang on it! Nick's voice might be in there on the chorus, but I think it's mostly Dave on the verses with Rick in the background, Rick on the chorus with everyone else singing backups, and Roger on the funny bits in-between.

[ElliotSpencerBassett]

I've always heard that it's nick saying "he won it in the war" "in 1944" etc. etc. Syd only took part in 2 songs on "A Saucer Full Of Secrets", He played guitar for some parts in "Set the controls for the heart of the sun" and wrote "Jugband Blues".

[aidanofbuses]

no he plays leads in tis song

[ElliotSpencerBassett]

Hmmm, I've heard he only played those two songs in that album, but I could be wrong.

[ttuu01]

i do believe syd played on "remember a day", that was supposed to be on piper at the gates of dawn.

[converselovex]

Rick was a cutie :D

[elmanuele]

you can say OTHER bands copied the beatles, the hairstyles, only 4 band members, the dressing but not pink floyd.

[elmanuele]

Try to compare song like Help, love me do, and I wanna hold your hand from the early beatles with music from the piper at the gates of dawn and you will see the difference.

the beatles began producing their "psychedelic" material after their famous trip to india, songs like Lucy in the Sky with Diamons (LSD) and I am the Warlus, but thats in the 70's..the pink floyd has been producing that since the mid 60's

[jonchapple]

The Beatles didn't go to India until after Sgt. Pepper's and the songs you're talking about. They starting writing the White Album in Rishikesh in '68

[wolfmoon2682]

it's funny how everyone wanted to be the beatles, all of their early stuff is like beatles but with a hint of crazyness from syd.

[greattools]

I am not sure I agree. What do other views think?

I think the Beatles copied Pink Floyd around the time of Sgt. Pepper. Paul McCartney was in the studio while recording The pipe at the gates of dawn.

The beatles pre-1967 were more pop and I do not hear anything that sound like anything pink floyd has ever done.

[elmanuele]

actually, nobody copied the beatles..

in those times, the beatles were just another boy band, the backstreet boys without the gay dancing and actually playing instruments. but what the floyd did was innovating, it was something new, never before seen in the history of england..the material included in the piper at the gates of dawn and in the early singles is very different to the type of songs that the beatles wrote in the 60's

[yesmuseum]

"just another boy band" ??? Sgt. Peppers - Corporal Clegg. Interesting coincidence. "Try to compare song like Help, love me do, and I wanna hold your hand" ?? Are you for real? Your expertise (or lack of it) is exposed in your comment: "the beatles began..., but thats in the 70's" THE BEATLES BROKE UP BEFORE THE 70s!!! Try again.

[DaveJonWaters]

agreed with u elmanuale

[kookietur]

Best of lyrics.

[bolivianex]

never heard that ending before..

[QponFILMZ]

LOL My last name is Clegg, and my father was a Corperal b4 he got dishonerable...discharge...but its still cool!
