about

Created from many, many different versions of the song 'Pigs' by Pink Floyd, including live performances of the song by Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters after he left the band, live performances of the song by Pink Floyd including a 1977 show in Boston, as well as cover versions by Australian, Canadian and Brtitish Pink Floyd cover bands.

SPOILER ALERT:

Expository material ABOUT the song and it's origins are also heard as well as audio of 'reaction videos' which document listeners' reactions to the song as they hear it for the first time. We also hear some portions of the original song, specifically from the 2018 Remix version (lossless source) released in 2022 by Pink Floyd which is a much clearer, cleaner and much better mix, in a lot of respects than the original 1977 release.

There is also some LULz in here as we transplant the old 'more cowbell' meme (originally about Blue Oyster Cult's song 'Don't Fear the Reaper') featuring actor Christopher Walken in the now-famous Saturday Night Live sketch, re-contextualized in here after a portion of the song where it seems that a cowbell or similar instrument is prominently used.

The piece has also been augmented by many more stereo 'pig' and 'hog' sound effects that the original work.

This mix also includes some of the incidental music, used as bookends to the main piece, from 'Dogs' and 'Sheep' the two other main songs from the album, 'Animals' including the backing track for 'Dogs' which is used.

We also hear material from the first episode of the TV series 'Black Mirror' early on in the mix. The episode is called 'The National Anthem' and more information can be found about this episode at its wikipedia page here:
