And now we discuss Jugband Blues by Syd Barrett.
Which can be heard here
Featuring a wonderful production at the abbey road studios
Wonderful tape delay on his voice. My favorite part.
The nursey rhyme rhythms to his vocals are syd through and through. I love this song.

Do you have multiple personality disorder?
I sort of have that, but it's more like how morla the ancient one refers to himself as 'we', just from being excruciatingly lonely for glacial periods of time.

Probably the best song in the floyd catalouge. Although that changes alot with me. Definiately suits my mood at the moment though.

I've been on a Floyd trip the last two months, really into some albums ('Animals', 'WYWH') but I can't get into the Barrett stuff at all, whimsical psychedelic pop seemingly not my thing. While pompous overproduced dinosaur snail rock is... hmmph.

"What is a dream?" "What is a joke?"
inexcusably cringey stuff.

You misquoted it, which is inexcusably cringeworthy.

Would also like to add. That lyric is not cringworthy at all. It's very disarming considering his fragile state at the time.

Probably my favorite Pink Floyd song, although the poppy Syd Barrett singles are close.

I think you have to be Southern English (and not the Chav kind imported from God Know's Where... probably (It's Grim Up North)ern England *spit*) to really appreciate the whimsical nature underpinned by darker tones of Syd Barrett.
I'm pretty sure that foreigners can't fully experience his music. Sorry, Ophecks, you Canadian (and therefore either a) descended from the idiotic Scots or b) the lovely French), you cannot truly understand the nature of Barrett, just as I cannot truly understand the nature of Ice Hockey. Sela!
Just Joking, Of Course.

I wouldn't disagree with your first paragraph, but regardless of ironic and satirical they are, I still think they're shite.
Gegarding your main pointAlthough all that is subjective to how cosmopolitonly cultured the listener (or viewer, as below) is.
Only the Irish fully appreciate Father Ted, but there are very many british comedies that we get on as much as your average Jonh Smith. We se the UK every day on TV for our lives. Many films, documentaries etc.We know the UK better than the UK kn[ow Ireland. I'm falling asleep now.
