}} "Sheep" is a song by English band Pink Floyd, released on the album ''Animals'' in 1977. In 1974, it was originally titled "Raving and Drooling". ==History== During their tours in 1974, Pink Floyd played three new songs in the first half of the shows, followed by ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' in its entirety. Those three new songs were "You've Got to Be Crazy" (which would later become "Dogs"), "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and "Raving and Drooling" (which would later become "Sheep"). During performances of "Raving and Drooling", a recording of a DJ at BBC Radio called Jimmy Young was played after being cut up and reassembled randomly. This was Roger Waters' idea of a man "raving and drooling" (or being insane). The lyrics of the song at this point were quite different from the ones that were to become "Sheep".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ingsoc.com/waters/albums/animals/lyrics.html )〕 "Raving and Drooling" was originally a more jam-based song. While the basic motif was already in place—a held note from the vocalist (Waters) being crossfaded into the same note on a synthesizer, with various inhuman effects applied—Waters had yet to write anything for the sections repeating F♯7 and A7 (such as ''"You better watch out! There may be dogs about",'' and so on), and so these sections, while clearly part of the song structure, were rendered instrumentally. Ironically, while Gilmour would later state that "Dogs" in its earlier incarnation as "You've Got To Be Crazy" simply had too many words for him to sing, "Raving and Drooling" appeared to suffer more from a lack thereof. Both "You've Got to Be Crazy" and "Raving and Drooling" were originally planned to be on the album following the tour (''Wish You Were Here''), but the plans were changed and they both ended up in different forms on ''Animals''. In November 2011, versions of both tracks recorded at Wembley in 1974 were officially released as part of the Experience and Immersion versions of the ''Wish You Were Here'' album. In live versions from 1977, backing guitarist Snowy White played bass guitar as Waters shared electric guitar duties with David Gilmour. The performance was almost identical to the album version except that it would give way to a slower ending with Richard Wright playing an organ solo. Ian Peel, a musical columnist for ''The Guardian'', noted the resemblance of "Sheep" to the ''Doctor Who'' theme, due to its bassline and sound effects. Some critics have suggested that the song essentially reuses the bass part from "One of These Days", another track which had similarities to that same science fiction theme tune. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sheep (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
