About the song/album/artist (including Wikipedia summary):
Animals was the first Floyd album I bought on release day and remains my favorite to this day.

From Wikipedia:
A lyrical departure from Pink Floyd's previous albums, Animals is a concept album that focuses on the sociopolitical conditions of mid-1970s Britain. Tension within the band during production culminated in the firing of the keyboardist, Richard Wright, two years after the album's release.

Pink Floyd released no singles from Animals but promoted it through the In the Flesh tour. Waters' agitation with audiences during this tour inspired their next album, The Wall (1979). Animals reached number 2 in the UK and number 3 in the US. It initially received mixed reviews, but gained more favorable reviews in later years, and is considered one of Pink Floyd's best works.

In "Pigs ( Three Different Ones)" the song's three verses each present a different "pig". According to Waters, the first verse's "pig man" refers to businessmen in general, whereas the second verse refers to conservative politician Margaret Thatcher, leader of the opposition at that time. The third verse clearly identifies its subject as being morality campaigner Mary Whitehouse, who is described as a "house proud town mouse" who has to "keep it all on the inside." In 1992, on the Westwood One radio special Pink Floyd: The 25th Anniversary Special, Waters told Jim Ladd that the "Whitehouse" mentioned had nothing to do with the home of the US president, the White House, after Ladd told Waters he interpreted the last verse as referring to Gerald Ford, who was US president at the time the song was recorded (although the verse also includes Whitehouse's first name).

Halfway through the song, David Gilmour uses a Heil talk box on the guitar solo to mimic the sound of pigs. This is the first use of a talk box by Pink Floyd. Gilmour also plays a fretted bass guitar, with a pick, doing two short, syncopated bass solos—one before the first verse, another before the third. When the final verse ends and a guitar solo emerges, the bass line moves into a driving eighth note rhythm, sliding up and down the E minor scale in octaves, beneath the chords of E minor and C major seventh. Roger Waters, usually the band's bassist, played a rhythm guitar track on the song instead.

About the video:
This is one of the tracks I've most wanted to make a vid for since I started uploading, but it was also one that I just couldn't ever figure out totally how to try something for it. Now with AI tools, I finally got it done! As I'm getting the workflows for AI down better, I'm finding things go pretty quickly. I spent less time on this kitchen sink epic, than I have on other, sometimes shorter videos in the past...I think it's because there's always a way to get unstuck and try something different with AI.

Hope to get around to the two remaining tracks from Animals; concept/visual-wise, I'm good to go with "Sheep", so it'll be the next track from the album I upload. "Dogs" last. Hope you'll stick around!

I hope you guys enjoy the thing......THANK YOU for supporting my videos and MetalGuruMessiah's Channel!

[Lyrics]
Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying 'Keep on digging'
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry
Bus stop rat bag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hatpin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry
Hey you, Whitehouse
Ha, ha, charade you are
You house proud town mouse
Ha, ha, charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
You got to stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary you're nearly a treat
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry
