Yep. Tom is a clever guy and many of his songs have humorous names. This one happens to also have some pretty humorous lyrics as well.That's a funny name for a song.

You don't like The Wall, Jayson?
Well, I wouldn't say I don't like it, but it pales in comparison to all of the albums the band released prior to it.
To be fair, for me, Pink Floyd ends with "The Final Cut" which was the album right after "The Wall." I see "The Wall" and "The Final Cut" much more as the first two Roger Waters albums than I do as Pink Floyd albums. By this point Roger was writing pretty much everything and there was little room for the experimentation that went with the previous body of work. The band were little more than a backing band.
Now, all that said, I love Roger Waters and most of his solo work. I just don't love them nearly as much as I do The Floyd.
So, of the Floyd albums up to 1982, it is among my two least favorites. I still like some of the songs, but I'd take any of the previous albums over it any day.
NP: Baraji - Michael Shrieve
I'd agree The Final Cut was really Pink Floyd's last album. They did an occasional song I liked after that, but it certainly wasn't the same. Really my favorite stuff is the early stuff with Syd. There is far too little of it though. I even liked Syd's solo stuff. Noone can say THAT wasn't experimental.Well, I wouldn't say I don't like it, but it pales in comparison to all of the albums the band released prior to it.

Yes, there was an occasional decent song after 1982, Gilmour is a decent songwriter. The same goes for his solo albums. It's not even that the post Final Cut Floyd stuff is "bad," it's just not Floyd. It's still better than a lot of stuff which was being put out at the same time.I'd agree The Final Cut was really Pink Floyd's last album.

I also love Piper as well as Syd's solo stuff. Not all of his experiments worked, but Syd was a very adventurous musician. It really is a shame his mental state was such that he couldn't continue his recording career.
I liked Pros & Cons, though I'd say Radio KAOS is prob my fav of Roger's albums.
