Talk:Careful with That Axe, Eugene
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Careful With That Axe Eugene" is in fact the b-side to their 5th single, "Point Me At The Sky"
the b-side to "It Would Be So Nice", their 4th single, was "Julia Dream"
early versions of the song had the titles "Murderistic Women", or "Keep Smiling People"
in 1969 it was included as part of the extended suite "The Man and The Journey", with yet another alternate name: "Beset By The Creatures of the Deep"
throughout 1969 and 1970 Eugene was usually paired live with the song "Green Is the Colour", which segued into it
"Come In, Number 51 (Correct number?), Your Time Is Up" I think was another alternate title for the song. I forget when that title was used though. I'm not too certain. Absolutely Curtains 18:39, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Careful with that oxygen?
That line kind of strikes me as being urban-mythy, is there any documentation of there being some drug called oxygen? Erowid.org doesn't have anything listed under the slang & terminology vault. 66.110.241.82 20:44, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

If it stays at least say what the drugs real name was as well ,not just a street name BauerPower 21:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rant
"a loud (and largely indecipherable) pictish rant"
Picts states (correctly) that the language hasn't survived, so this strikes me as a bit unlikely. --84.92.81.68 15:36, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
"Pictish rant" is shorthand among Floyd collectors for Waters' habit of shouting gibberish in a Scottish accent during concerts. That bit should probably be changed to something less obscure. GhostTrain 06:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
It definitely needs to remain as a Pictish rant. After all, Waters did write the song "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict," not "Grooving with a Scottish Man Who Spoke an Ancient Dialect That Has Not Survived."
