    I remember hearing an interview with Roger who said that the Pigs were 1. James Callahan (Prime Minister at the time). 2. Margaret Thatcher (Leader of the Opposition) and 3. Mary Whitehouse (a campaigner for "decency" in public life - no swearing or sex on telly, etc). Animals has always been my favourite Floyd album, it's just so raw and biting. Plus, it came out at the height of Punk, when people were saying that the old bands had nothing to say about society and people's real lives. You can almost hear Roger's "hold my beer!"

      Roger is notorious for revisionism. No one claimed that verses one and two were about Callaghan and Thatcher at the time (1977). At the time is was agreed that the figures in verses one and two were generalised repressive archetypes. Verse three, on the other hand was about a specific example of a repressive type, Mary Whitehouse. When Thatcher emerged 4-5 years later as something a bit like the figure in verse 2, claims started to be made in retrospect.

      Again I am just talking about the main chord progression of the verses and choruses. The middle part rhythms with the talkbox solo are played by David I think. That swirly sound is just something only he would use. Also later on in that part there is a second guitar above it which might be Roger again.

      @@pittarak1 In the context of a political album, it's not precisely about determining whether a person or politician simply goes in the good or bad column. It's about the concept of someone being piggish, about a structure of society that has pigs in it, and what the might mean. Whitehouse like almost everyone has some good and some bad. It would be lovely to imagine a bad island we could send all the completely bad people to, but in my experience are all a mix of angel and demon.
      That doesn't mean I don't make choices about whom to support and what to agitate for, but I don't think of people like that as "enemies" -- I just don't want them in power and when motivated I will fight hard against them and their policies. Is how I see it.

    The extended soundscape section is actually David Gilmour going nuts with a guitar effect pedal called a TalkBox...it basically does what the name describes - sends a microphone input mixed in with the guitar signal and various filters to make the funky sound. David is particularly good at singing along with his guitar (also evidenced cleanly in Wish you Were Here)I. The effect was also popularized by Peter Frampton around this time but for my money, this is still the coolest use of the effect to date. Close second goes to Tool.

    I saw this album tour on my 16th birthday in 1977 in Phoenix, AZ alone. Nobody could go that night so I just bought one ticket. They played this entire album and had the flying pig and laser beams. They took a break, then played all the songs on Wish You Were Here; behind them ran animation that would become The Wall. It was un-****ing believable. I had a chunk of some black, tacky stuff my friend gave me to smoke, so I can honestly say that I saw Pink Floyd in their prime, the way they were meant to be seen. I was overwhelmed, and this will always be my favorite Pink Floyd record. So my birthday's coming up in a few days.

    Doug, I understand why you might say there isn't a "solo" in the middle section break down. But as I've listened to this song over the years, (I bought this album as a teen in 1977) I've always viewed the pig sounds AS the solo. I believe those sounds are played on guitar, in fact, using a talk box. Although the pig effects have very sparse phrasing and integrate completely with the other soundscape elements, I hear a consistent direction to the phrases and a clear resolution to tonic at the end of this section. So to me, at least, it actually does sound like a solo.

    Pigs (Three Different Ones) is the climax of the album, a violent charge against the top of the pyramid, the institutions, the powerful represented by loathsome boars. The caricature of the Soviet leaders in The Animal Farm turns into an allegory of capitalism which devours the world by gorging itself on its profits (1st pig), political power (2nd pig) and the power of controlling thought (3rd pig).

David Gilmour is actually “soloing” during the emin-cmaj vamp in the middle section. He’s using a talk box to recreate the sound of squealing pigs. Personally, I think it’s a fantastic reimagining of a guitar solo. He could’ve absolutely shredded in emin but chose to play in a way that supports the imagery of the song. One of my favorite moments on the album and it makes the epic solo at the end that much more special. Please keep up the amazing work! I dig it.

    I stumbled upon Doug doing an interview with Annie Haslam of Renaissance, a band I have listened to and loved for years. When I saw he had done analyses of Pink Floyd songs, well, being my ATF band, I had to listen. It's interesting to get an impression from someone who really understands music. Roger Waters will be doing what I suspect will be his last tour, This is not a Drill. If you have never seen a Pink Floyd or Roger Waters show, I strongly encourage you to go. The music is incomparable for sure. The accompanying videos and graphics are unlike any other performer does. I use the word 'show' because it is so much more than just a concert. And yes, they were the pioneers of visual effects in their earlier performances. Not to mention, Roger has never been hesitant to be critical of greedy self serving politicians. Thanks so much for your analysis of this great tune!

    Lol, when you’re so disappointed there isn’t a traditional mid section Gilmour solo because Gilmour has worked out how to make his guitar squeal like a pig. He serves the song not his ego. One of the reasons I think he’s so highly regarded.

      Musically it's a really good song. Conceptually... meh. Back in the 70s Roger was more on point and consistent with his political message. Lately, he's been a bit clueless and contradicting. He spent his entire career singing against war and when he gets an anti-war president in the White House he goes all out against him. You can think whatever you want about that particular president, but it is a fact that he has not started any wars and has brokered several historical peace agreements in the Middle East. His message was not on point.

    I really enjoyed this one.My Father is a huge Pink Floyd fan and I took him to Roger Waters' Us And Them show here in Dunedin New Zealand for his 70th birthday.It was an amazing show. The part in this song where you spoke of the lack of a solo was when the huge floating pig hovered over and around the crowd so at the concert there was alot visually going on. Many many images of a previous resident of the Whitehouse and nothing about Mary. Deep Purple also had a song lambasting her. Old hag indeed.

      Yup, V3 is explicitly Mary Whitehouse, the self-appointed chair of the National Viewers' and Listeners' Association, who wanted to censor just about everything. V2 is not explicit, but few doubt that it was Margaret Thatcher. V1 is generally considered to be a composite of the moneyed classes / corporate greed / contemporary capitalism (cf George Harrison's Piggies on 'The White Album'). I think that's probably the case, though from the moment I first heard it (and I bought it on release) I suspected the "keep on digging" line of being a loose allusion to Winston Churchill's "Dig for Victory".

His album "Everyone Knows This Is Nowhere"(1971), with its Em-A7 jam on "Down By the River," exerted a mighty influence on PF's masterwork "Dark Side of the Moon," particularly "Breathe" and "Any Colour You Like."
