Pink Floyd- Dogs- w/lyrics- REACTION!!! (FIRST TIME HEARING) 

Pink Floyd's album ANIMALS is a critique of capitalism. It's their reaction to George Orwell's book "Animal Farm", that is a critique of communism. The 3 main songs of the album are in order: "Dogs" that represent corporations and business people, described as backstabbing sociopathic egoists. "Pigs" who represent politicians and politics, described as complete fakes. "Sheep" -> us, the common people, described as docile, compliant fools, meek and obedient. Though in the end the sheep rebel against their overlords and kill them. (Happens in the song "Sheep".) Those three songs are bookended by the two parts of the short ballad "Pigs on a Wing (Part 1 & 2)", which is about people should actually look out and care for each other, and thus works as the positive, optimistic counterpoint to the other 3 angry songs on the album.

Everyone can say "Dark side of the Moon, or "The Wall" till their blue in the face, but "Animals" is Pink Floyd's ultimate statement in musical dialogue...

It's really hard to get sick of this song. Believe me, I've tried.

Pink, this was a great reaction! Thank you. I'd like to address something you said. You stated that this wouldn't be a go to song for you. You're right on the mark, but you've got to understand something. Back in the day, it was albums, not singles. Except for the radio pop, and especially with prog rock bands, you listened to complete albums. Dogs is not a single to go on your mix playlist. It's only part of a 40 minute piece of work. 70s Floyd, Yes, Genesis, and the likes are albums meant to be enjoyed as a whole. Good exploration!

A song nearly 20 minutes?!! Dang!!! But for a song like "Dogs," Pink Floyd never disappoints. Rating: 20/10

I just love how David Gilmore makes a gutair cry and scream. And watching your face you can feel the emotions.

It's great to see you younger generation appreciate the great music that came out in the 60's,70's, the music I grew up on. It's probably the 2 best decades ever that rock songs were composed. Roger Waters was typically known for writing songs on the darker side and Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath. Somebody has to. Can't have all love songs.

The crazy thing is that Corporate greed and corrupt business people seemed to only get worse after the time that this album came out. Society should have been listening to Floyd. Instead we went down the "Wolf of Wall Street" path. Reagan deregulated everything and let corporations rule our lives with an iron fist. OK, I'm off of my soapbox now. Let's just appreciate Pink Floyd.. *Genius*

This tune is the essence of Pink Floyd. Taking the listener on a journey, or telling a story about the realities of life. And all the while as the listener is completely absorbed into trying grasp the meaning of what is being conveyed. One can almost lose track of the masterful music that helps paint the picture of what the listener is offered. Coupling the captivating material with the tremendous musical artistry is what puts Pink Floyd in their own class. Pigs, and Sheep should follow this number.

Watch 'Pink Floyd live in Pompeii - Echoes' to see how genius they were live.

*When you are reading the words to the song as it is going along, think of it as a "hand-book" on how to climb to the top of the corporate ladder and then it will all make perfect sense.*

I think you should react Pink Floyd “Carful with that axe eugene” please do the live Brighton 1972 or the Pompeii version.

Best conception of Pink Floyd: “Music man for the common man by uncommon men”

7:55 I make that face when I hear great guitar too, I call it Eargasm Face or "E-face"

Gee I hope a PF expert comes here and comments in a lengthy post all that they know about PF, what this song means, where it fits into the album and that PF albums are meant to be listened to from beginning to end. That would be refreshing

One of the best!!! I love when you react to Floyd. ❤️

I was lucky enough to be exposed early on to this masterpiece (ANIMALS is my favorite PF album). Glad you do as well..

Serious beautiful piece of music art that can transport anyone to any given place. Masterpiece....

THAT'S WHYYYYY YOU SHOULD DO FULL FLOYD ALBUMS, THEY'RE ALLLLL CONCEPTS! DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, WISH YOU WERE HERE, ANIMALS, ETC! ;-) :)

Pink Floyd... Masters of the Concept Album. "Animals" is one of the best!

I wish I could hear this for the first time. Guess I am 100000 to late.

"it changes with all these different sounds" Yeah, that's what music was like 50 years ago, unlike today where "songs" repeat the same rhythms and identical chord progression again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.....

"You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to"

Animals is such an outstanding piece of art! please listen to Pigs and Sheep to! You won't regret it!

Who else has to listen to at least the beginning of PIGS after listening to DOGS.

Multiple guitar solos by David Gilmour, what's not to like?

You don't so much listen to Pink Floyd's music as experience it. Great to see young people discovering them. x

The album is inspired by the book "Animal Farm" by George Orwell.

1:23 And it depends on your mood of the moment as well... when I put a Pink Floyd record on, I never know how it's gonna make me feel. It will rather give me insight in how I feel. A particular line may stand out at different times, exposing the deeper feelings that I was hiding from myself. They're very therapeutic in that way.

NO BACKUP SINGERS. NO SAX. JUST THE FOUR OF THEM ALONE. STRIPPED DOWN AND CREATING. REAL FLOYD MUSIC.

Yay! My favorite PF song from my favorite PF album and both in my top 5 of everything. Roger's lyrics, though dark, have never been better and Dave's guitar was never more expressive. Every song on this album is tied in with the others though. Based on Animal Farm.

Ahh dogs. The business men of this world.

This album is close to my heart. All the songs are named after animals. Do "Pigs". "Fearless" is another big Pink Floyd jam that i think stands on its own. Its from an earlier album.

Corporate backroom deals, or, how to screw over everyone first.

I'm really glad you found this, Floyd was a pioneer in this style of music.

You are a classy listener with down-to-earth tastes!

PMH beautiful! Pinkfloyd beautiful!

This song in a way is a theme for me. It sounds how my PTSD feels. 😒

I was extremely lucky to see Pink Floyd in 1975 in Vancouver Canada, i had no idea they would go on to be one of the greatest bands on the planet ! i never get tired of listening to them, i wish i kept the 12 dollar ticket stub

Dear Mona, consider this a special invition to Pink, which all should a treasure. I as African American have being Pink Floyd fan for over 40 years!

So aggressive musically and lyrically! Just heaven when that guitar comes in

İ am crazy about this song 💓 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

I think the "not coming back " comment might have more to do with different life experiences, mood when you hear it, expectations, etc.. It's definitely not a jivey or smooth listening. Such a deep, very deep song, but many go back over and over.

This is great and you're lovely. This piece, which is side one of the album, is one of the darkest, most evil set of lyrics put forth on a song. This piece is my personal favorite of this lineup's catalog. This, to me, is their finest hour.

This song gives me chills everytime

easily my favorite album. ever. regardless on band or group

You need to listen to Echoes (the full 24 min song) Pure art in music form

This songs message will still be revelant tomorrow, next month, next year and also the future

I'll suggest an earlier album . Ummagumma. The whole album. But the stand out song for me is the last song which coincidentally is quite possibly the longest song title in existence. "Several Species of Small Furry Animals, Gathered together in a cave and Grooving with a Pic" Yes that is the actual song title. I love all of the background noises and fills throughout the entire album. Well worth the time.

Oh and if you do get to "Sheep" on this album, I want to see how you react to their reinterpretation of the Psalm 23 ...

She got mind blown with the lyrics.

I worked in the dog eat dog business world until I retired. It sucked! The older you get the more you can relate to this song! This is in my top 5 PF songs along with Time, Comfortably Numb, Echoes, Shine On.

You are missing something unless you hear this through headphones...the sense of distance and direction swirls around your head in "Quadraphonic" (all 4 directions instead of stereo's 2 directions) Now they call it surround...these guys were pioneers in 3-D sound.

BY FAR , PINK FLOYD'S BEST ALBUM. NONE OF THESE TRACKS GET ANY AIRPLAY ON THE MODERN ILLUMINATTI GLOBALIST RADIO STATIONS.

I get chills through the whole song. Especially toward the end when you here the whistle.. "Here boy! Do our bidding!" That's where I lose it. Masterpiece

Finally I’ve been waiting for this 💯

This whole album was a giant F%$K YOU to record executives for how they screw artists over.

Strange that this is an indictment of capitalism and they wanted more money for the dogs track to be used on the WKRP dvds. They have become part of the capitalism machine they criticized before.

This album is so underated!!! My favorite album by them.

After listening to your feedback. I was right. I would venture to say that, for Pink Floyd lovers, and those that simply love good sound, that it is not just about the compacting of good lyrics, it's about the "music"... the sounds and the composition. Its what's separates musical genius from a nice sounding ditty.

#PinkMetalHead This album (Animals) is best listened to from start to finish. Peace. :)

I love Dogs...never thought someone would do a reaction to this very underrated song !

This is the best song they ever wrote IMO. I recommend Sheep from the same album, it's also classic. Floyd were great commentators on the 'human condition' and able to make such uplifting music out of dark ideas and themes.

Great GREAT critique of this song. Now, you should really do Pigs (Three different ones) and then Sheep.

This album seems like it was written for exactly what is going on in this country today. Especially "Pigs". Another good one, Pink!

My favorite album by Pink Floyd dark side of the moon is second.

Fantastic album! ☮️

Pink Floyd always speak about the human condition. Always emotive. Lessons for life. Genius.

PMH, So nice to see you this morning !! Great song reaction today. Love the Floyd. Have a great day.

This is the greatest song of all time

Dont. You shouldn't listen to this. It's sad. It's always sad. Always sad.

Floyd are the greatest band ever, they have got me through the best and worst times in my 44years. Check out van Morrison into the mystic

i really recommend you listen to “Sorrow “ but the “Delicate Sounds Of Thunder “ version.. it’s David Gilmore at his best ! Thanks so much for your last ❤️

Not one dislike .. that’s Pink Floyd for you

YESSSSSSSSSS finally! - Now that you've done dogs, you HAVE to do the rest of the album. Dark Side of the Moon is one of the greatest albums ever written, however, Animals is Pink Floyds greatest album. Always so overlooked due to the long songs. Pigs, Dogs and Sheep are 3 categories of people in the world based on the novel Animal Farm. In each one, they take you through what it feels like to be one of those people, and how the others see you. In short, Pigs are the politicians, CEOs etc. Dogs are the salesmen who are trying to climb the endless ladder, and sheep are the people who are trodden upon.

One of their finest IMO. Also check out "Sheep" from the same album

I’m old enough to have been at the beginning of when Pink Floyd hit the music scene. For me the only way to listen to PF is alone with head phones on. That way you can concentrate on the lyrics and overall concept of the message PF is telling the listener. Example: The album, “Dark Side of the Moon” is the story of former PF founder, Sid Barrett who went insane. Knowing that allows the listener to appreciate the whole album as it is one continuous story about Sid’s decent into madness. The song writing is phenomenal and deep.

love the reaction to this one in particular The barking dog from the late great Richard Wright synthesizer David's killer guitar the great lyrics.. that interlude for about six minutes of just awesome synthesizer space out.. _you've got to be trusted by the people that you lied to so that when they turn their backs on you you get the chance to put the knife in_ 1978 now today it sounds like a certain group of folks lol

Please react to Dancing with the Moonlit Knight by Genesis it's the best.

Pink Floyd makes you see.

my favorite Floyd song

Just so people know, the sounds of the dogs barking aren't real dogs, it was synthesized! Amazing use of technology!

my dad is saving this album for me to hear for when i'm older

Have a channel who has a video of this music, and is very emotional I recommend, but the video has a lyrics in portuguese The channel is Think Floyd

Pink, “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” by Pink Floyd. Please!

My own interpretation would be that of a man who wastes his life chasing a false idea of success. The idea that climbing a corporate ladder, and all that is involved, will bring satisfaction turns out to be a sham. No longer useful to them, his corporate masters discard him and he is left with the bitter realisation that it was all worthless. Cheerful stuff, eh?

The song does have a deeper meaning. It's up to our own interpretation.

Free Four is another great Pink Floyd song, and easily one of their darkest. If I may recommend it...

Best floyd track ever Never gets old

Kind of blows your mind, doesn't it?

Take away the vocals, and this has a jazz-rock fusion vibe. I'd have never guessed Pink Floyd...!!

It was a take on the book animal farm, the whole album. I first heard this some 45 years ago and for me it is a go to song, it's brings me down to earth. It's the greatest song ever written, maybe not the best, prettiest, or hyped song, just the greatest, because it is life, and it is the world, and it is reality. Also it's a pretty damn good song as far as musically

Heard this for the first time maybe 3 months ago and haven’t stopped playing it, just awesome!

I've been listening to this album, This Song in particular since the mid 80s. It is a deep song and it just seems to get deeper the older I get. It never gets old; I never get tired of it. There is great music, but this is something else completely.

Probably my favorite Pink Floyd album.....or the one I find myself returning to most often. For the sound alone. First heard it in 1977, and never even paid attention to the lyrics. I don't think I ever even saw the lyrics until sometime in the early 2000s. Sadly....they only did Dogs, Pigs & Sheep. If only they would have thrown in some Horses, Chickens & Cows.....we COULD have had a DOUBLE-album.

I’m glad you closed your eyes and just “felt” this song

Can only be truly appreciated as part of the whole album.

I listened to this album when it first came out until it broke...

Next time "Comfortably numb pulse live" or "Echoes live at Pompeii" please ;-D

Nothing like experiencing the floyd with a lovely lady;]
