- the lyric frequently refers to Lucifer Sam as a cat, some speculation has arisen as to whether this was in fact slang ("a hip cat") for a man, real or imagined, in some type of relationship with Barrett's then-girlfriend, Jenny Spires (referred to in the song as "Jennifer Gentle").[3] However, Sam was simply Barrett's Siamese cat (and is referred to as such in the first line: "Lucifer Sam, Siam cat"); the track was originally called "Percy the Rat Catcher" during the recording sessions, which took place between April and June 1967.[4]
Best period of Pink Floyd , great sound !
I seriously believe the "spy" riff from The Pink Floyd's Lucifer Sam (recorded at EMI Abbey Road Studio) influenced John Lennon's Hey Bulldog riff. No, it's not the same groove, but the chromatic "spy" feel is similar. The Pink Floyd were recording Piper at the Gates of Dawn at Abbey Roads while The Beatles were in an adjacent studio recording Sargent Pepper's.
Piper is a fantastic album. Most 60s debuts were flooded with old blues covers (Beatles, Stones, The Who, etc), but Pink Floyd's first album was entirely its own. Great listening if you're in the mood for "exploring."
good point
1967... What an amazing year!
This sounds so clear
Much as I prefer the more widespread appeal of Gilmour, the Syd Barrett years were wonderful... this sounds like a Sixties' Spy theme on acid... love it.
Reminds me of Batman. Lol
I prefer Syd Barret's era over Gilmour
I would say this riff is the quintessential surf rock and spy theme. It’s what I think of for both of those sounds.
I love that this song is about a cat.
This song benig made in 1967 is just crazy !! So before its time
First view here, love that song, great work PigFloyd and yes i gave PigFloyd her 1st video haha
Sid's voice takes you to heavenly realms. I have never done acid etc. RIP
My cat loves this song.
Syd the best man
Lyrics :
Lucifer Sam, siam cat
Always sitting by your side
Always by your side
That cat's something I can't explain
Ginger, ginger, Jennifer Gentle you're a witch
You're the left side
He's the right side
Oh, no
That cat's something I can't explain
Lucifer go to sea
Be a hip cat, be a ship's cat
Somewhere, anywhere
That cat's something I can't explain
At night prowling sifting sand
Hiding around on the ground
He'll be found when you're around
That cat's something I can't explain
James Bond through the pipers of the gates of swinging 60s.
Good music
Syd barrett really máster
Happy 75th birthday to Syd! We're preparing a nice cover of one of his classics on the upcoming 2nd album by Outer Park. Beach meets punk meets Bjork, I guess. We hope he would have approved. Enjoy the preview!
