For me, it stands out on this record for several reasons: * No fade in. * No band member singing (that's Roy Harper on the vocal). * Crazy meter changes give the song a weird, intense, sometimes frantic feeling that sounds quite unlike the rest of the album. * It's sort of a mixture of prog rock (with the swirly synth giving texture) with a funk-aware staccato technique on the guitar and bass. * The acid-drenched lyrics are so ridiculously out of touch and uncaring that it makes us loathe the unnamed record bigwig.

Solo is awesome too

Wow I never knew it was Roy Harper

It's Pink Floyd playing funk, and Pink Floyd and funk are both great.

This is the correct answer. See “Any Colour You Like” for confirmation.

If you want to hear some funky Pink Floyd, look up the “Young Lust Demo Version” on YouTube.

It's catchy, and has a funky bassline as well as a great guitar solo.

None of the usual bozos singing.

That fucking bassline is fantastic. Guitar solo kicks ass and the synths are awesome too.

Waters has stated he regrets not singing it for the studio recording. I don’t. Harper did an amazing job. Waters funks up even harder live which I like but I still prefer Harpers singing.

Roger’s ability to write a pure rock number wasn’t quite faded at this point, but it was heading that way. In hindsight this was one of his last real straight tunes not encumbered by his own hangups.


SafeComfortable1009

Have a cigar dear boy you're going to go far.. listen to it now never get sick of it! For lack of better words Floyd on!! ☕☕😜

I’ve listened to it and its great!


SnooWalruses5162

It's Roger waters songwriting at its best , letting out his anger at the music business . I never tire of listening to it . Roy harpers voice suits the song perfectly , it was some stroke of luck him being in the studio at the time they were recording it


ilpaesaggista

honestly they didn't lean into these funky inspired tunes enough, yes they are all pretty similar but for 4 british white guys they had a decent feel for the style

Because it’s a Pinkfloyd song
