Seamus

I really really like this song, but who else thinks it wouldve been better without the dog and three of four more verses?

Not really... it works well just as a brief sight gag.

You think so? Huh, I guess I'm just more of a blues lover, but I really can't say that because I listen to all types of music. I don't know, agree to disagree.

I'd have to say I really like Seamus. It does work well as is, but I do admit that another verse or two would be nice. I remember a coffee house at my high school in 2000 or 2001, two teachers went up and played Seamus and they repeated the verse a few times, alternating vocals back and forth. It was really good like that. It would have been cool to see Floyd do a similar version.

it was worked as a joke when they were all stoned.

they realized it was only funny to them after it was released.

I think the dog part is perfect with the song. It's unexpected, but once you think about it, it's like wow, the dog noises go excellent with the song. As far as verses go, maybe a few more would have been nice, but for just a fill in, it does nicely.

Few questions though, the dog? Was it one of the band member's pet? Was it the same dog that was on Live at Ummagumma?

i hear the weather is nice over in ummagumma this time of year

OMG.........Ummagumma I must be stupid I meant Pompeii it's been a while since I've been to the site gimmie a break

Two different dogs. Seamus was owned by Steve Marriot of Humble Pie. Mademoiselle Nobs was owned by Madonna Bouglione, a friend of Pompeii producer Adrian Maben. Both were Afghan hounds, obviously the Bing Crosbys of the canine world.

I will do no such thing!

The length is perfect. If it was longer, it would be like being told a joke and then a long explanation on why you should find it funny.By then, you don't want to know anymore.
