Did you know that in an episode of The Simpsons named Homerpalooza Homer kicks a cannon and the famous Pink Floyd pig drops out of it? Did you know that during one of the concerts Roger Waters told a drunk fan to come closer to the stage and then spat on him? Did you know that in the song Seamus a voice can be heard saying “He is the real dog.“ right before one of the “dog solos“?

Did you know...

note:

The album was very successful, although it is quite extravagant because of two very long experimental tracks it features. The first one takes the entire A side and Pink Floyd wanted it to be something big.
The song Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast was inspired by the morning rituals of a faithful Pink Floyd roadie called Alan Stiles, whose voice can be heard on the album. The song was performed live only once.
The album's name is a reference to a newspaper article about the theoretical possibility of human pacemakers running on nuclear energy.
