And now for something completly different....
Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict....
From the Ummaguumma album by Pink Floyd....
The track consists of several minutes of noises resembling rodents and birds simulated by Waters’ voice and other techniques, such as tapping the microphone played at different speeds, followed by Waters providing a few stanzas of quasi-lyrics in an exaggerated Scottish burr.
The Picts were the indigenous people of what is now Scotland who merged with the Scots.
I used to enjoy that track.
I’d quibble, there aren’t any indigenous people, or rather, no uniquely indigenous people — we’ve all come from where we’ve come from (I live about a half mile from where I was born, by coinky-dinky); the Picts entered Scotland from Ireland, probably because they got their butts kicked out. :’)
