Ridley Creek State Park & Several Species of Small Furry Animals ... in Cave Grooving with a Pict

  • 11 years ago
Last spring I was walking around Ridley Creek State Park in Pennsylvania and enjoying a beautiful day. There were fisherman casting their fly lines, birds chirping and people just like me walking around this beautiful place. After I got back home, I decided to edit my video with a soundtrack from Pink Floyd's Ummagumma. I think it was the sound of the birds in the park that made me consider using "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict." Every time I listen to this track it makes me laugh! As you may have noticed, I was unable to fit the entire proper title of the song in the title box. Youtube said it was too long. And, incidentally, if you want to know what Roger Waters is saying with his version of a heavy Scottish accent, here it is:

Aye an' a bit of mackeral, settler rack and down
Ran it down by the home, and I flew
Well, it slapped me and I flopped it down in the shade
And I cried, cried, cried
The tear had fallen down he had taken, never back to raise
And then cried Mary, an' took out wi' your Claymore
Right outta a' pocket, i ran down, down by the mountain side
Battlin' the fiery horde that was falling around the feet
"Never!," he cried. "Never shall ye get me alive
Ye rotten hound of the burnie crew!"
Well I snatched fer the blade an' a Claymore cut and thrust
And I fell down before him round his feet
Aye! A roar he cried!
Frae the bottom of 'is heart
That I would nay fall but as dead
Dead as I can by y' feet, d'ya ken?
...And the wind cried back
