Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin,
Saying, "Keep on digging."
Pig stain on your fat chin.
What do you hope to find?
Down in the pig mine.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh,
But you're really a cry.
Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are.
You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are.
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel,
You're hot stuff with a hat pin,
And good fun with a hand gun.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.
Hey you, Mary Whitehouse, ha ha charade you are.
You house proud town mouse, ha ha charade you are.
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat,
All tight lips and cold feet,
And do you feel abused?
You gotta stem the evil tide,
And keep it all on the inside,
Mary you're nearly a treat,
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry.
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin,
Saying, "Keep on digging."
Pig stain on your fat chin.

Fantastically scathing, dead-on political commentary, set to the most rocking and anthemic music ever! JAM
I mean, how many radio stations play this whole song?
After DSOTM, my favorite album.
1977 did they know $rump then? Finally read the lyrics. Very on point.
Oh wow. I haven't listened to this in years. Thanks William.

the 2018 remaster of Animals
is the best sounding remaster compared to the source material i have ever experienced
its my fave floyd joint but have only really heard it loud via tape and cd, and those versions felt thin and washed out somehow. disappointed
anyway, the 2018 remaster is sonically superior and allowed me to fall back in love with this album
bill, maybe augment the playlist with the 2018 remaster? just a thought

my favorite floyd song probably
i have never had a vinyl setup so i was stuck on the cd version of the album which i do not like. it's always sounded thin and old to me
the 2018 remaster 24/192 version fixed all of that for me and i had the experience of listening to it again for the first time. outstanding mix and sounds great loud

One of the greatest albums. If you read George Orwell's, Animal Farm then you get it, man. Highly recommend the book.

I think this is related to the feeling I sometimes get with particularly evocative soloes, a feeling that the solo is achingly close to understandable English. As well, there are soloes, like Elizabeth Reed that are pure emotion for me.

This album came out right when I joined the Navy. I heard bits and pieces while in boot camp. Couldn't wait to transfer to my ship so I could buy the cassette tape. Was not disappointed.

There's a distinct set of emotions that only a wizard like David Gilmour elicits within me. I can't even define these emotions, but I know they come racing to the surface each time I hear the guitar in this song.
Allways making louder and singing, every time RP playing this masterpeace.
Trully, the all Pink Floyd songs are making the same effect.

But I actually haven't bothered to read the lyrics because I'm not a big fan. I like some Floyd stuff, and perhaps it was ground breaking at the time, but that alone isn't enough to do it for me. If "you had to be there" & "I wasn't there" then I can give it its due but it doesn't mean I'll try to like it if it's not appealing to me.

The pig is created by Theo Botschuijvers. Read Playful Inventions.
Excellent!!
I love listening to Waters and Gilmore playing off of each other both of them excellent guitarists
Roger really did not like Mary Whitehouse. The song taking such a personal shot at her, deserved or not, prevents me from accepting this is a classic song - too rooted in a time and place.

I do wonder what George Orwell would think of today's Neo-Marxist guided authoritarian populist regimes -- Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, to some extent Argentina, Zimbabwe, Republic of South Africa. The wealth destruction has been massive. The opportunity cost relative to potential has been absolutely gigantic.

First heard part of this song in WKRP in Cincinnati when I was 11 years old. It was in my teens when I finally checked it out. Have not been the same.
Goin' off on Margaret Thatcher, with a catchy tune, full of oinking and squealing.
Much to like, hard to dance to....
Please can you stop saying that David Gilmore is your favourite bass guitarist. He is the best lead guitarist in the world. I love Radio Paradise. It make the world a better place to be.

This song/album sounds to me like they took the entire 'Pink Floyd' sound and bent all the strings at once or pulled the whammy bar to full and didn't let up.

As great as all the Pink Floyd records around this one are, and even though the theme of the album is kind of programmed, the music is so good all the way through that I sometimes think this is the best of all. Listen to the bass solo over the top of the organ part. Makes me feel like I wasn't really wrong back in my teen years when we "pressure cooked" in the car and got carried away by the power of this music.

The reason this song (and Sheep) rock so hard is that the "bass solo over the top of the organ part" is played by David Gilmour instead of Roger Waters. Waters is a great writer, but Gilmour can play circles around him.
From Wikipedia:
David Gilmour – lead guitar, co-lead vocals, rhythm and acoustic guitar on "Dogs", bass guitar on "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" and "Sheep", talk box on "Pigs (Three Different Ones)"Roger Waters – lead and harmony vocals, acoustic guitar on "Pigs on the Wing", rhythm guitar on "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" and "Sheep", tape effects, vocoder, bass guitar on "Dogs"Nick Mason – drums, percussion, tape effectsRichard Wright – Hammond organ, Farfisa organ, EMS VCS 3, electric piano, Minimoog, ARP string synthesizer, grand piano, clavinet, harmony vocals on "Dogs"
As great as all the Pink Floyd records around this one are, and even though the theme of the album is kind of programmed, the music is so good all the way through that I sometimes think this is the best of all. Listen to the bass solo over the top of the organ part. Makes me feel like I wasn't really wrong back in my teen years when we "pressure cooked" in the car and got carried away by the power of this music.

He doesn't hate all Pink Floyd songs. Just this one. Rated Learning to Fly a 10.
Ultra-mega-abnormally boring. +1 for solo at the end. The rest is pure boredom. Can't believe anyone but old farts like this.

One of the best songs of all times, great guitar, imagery, vocals, sound effects and great production value with 3-D imaging of all instruments.
Probably my favorite PF album, I love how angry it is in lyrics and in the music. Gilmour is killing it on this album, and Waters is so pissed off, you can feel the rage.
Between RP and WFMU this is the kind of song that never gets played on the radio anymore
Fantastic song from a fantastic band

Give us all a break please. You might not like Putin's policy decisions but he has been elected by a plurality of votes and for better or worse, appears to enjoy a lot of popularity with the Russian people.
Wow.
I'm about to Godwin up the place, but...
so did Hitler.
Suppress dissent with a strong enough arm and popularity is not just guaranteed, it's mandatory.

Anti semite?
I think you'll find that the Palestinians are the Semite's mate not the invaders currently squatting the land

One of the most definitive uses of the Heil Talk Box...
Just caught his performance of this song earlier this year in Philadelphia. The background imagery of Trump was an absolutely perfect visual.
Waters *really* does not like Trump.

I do wonder what George Orwell would think of today's Neo-Marxist guided authoritarian populist regimes -- Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, to some extent Argentina, Zimbabwe, Republic of South Africa. The wealth destruction has been massive. The opportunity cost relative to potential has been absolutely gigantic.
Listening to this tune, I can't help thinking about George Orwell's Animal Farm. The pigs (then Stalin, now Putin) pull all the strings.

I completely agree with your disagreement to rocklandlove's "this hasn't aged well" comment. I'm surprised at the "low" 8.4 avg rating on this one, I guess kick ass guitar playing and spot-on lyrics (both for the time it came out and NOW) aren't enough to get this to the hallowed 9+ ground.
I completely agree with your agreement to the disagreement. If this isn't a classic, well, I don't want to live in that world.

And for all the PF fans, how cool is it that they put out so much varied music and yet kept a few cool concepts in all their albums? Like the cyclical album, starting and ending with the same motif/song/sound....so effin cool to my ears and mind. Long Live RP!! and maybe PEACE too??!!!

ahhh...1977 19yrs old and Shrooooms, my fav pf album!
When this album was first released as a digital download on Amazon, you could buy the individual tracks for $1 each, which was cheaper than purchasing the album, since the entire album contains only 5 tracks. They have since fixed that issue.
Also, I noticed Amazon has a Remastered version of this album scheduled for release on Dec. 31, 2039!

The album was just released and we'd camped out for tix. The day before the show we went down and talked to the roadies who were setting up.
"Oh there's this flying pig..."
Woah.
