Non-charting song from Pink Floyd's The Wall. The song is described in passing in sources that talk about The Wall. Its back-masking (reversed audio message) is discussed by self-published websites that don't add notability, and also by the BBC in a piece about back-masking in general.[1] Binksternet (talk) 17:09, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ahem The backwards messaging is discussed in the song's entry in
  • Andy Mabbett (2010), Pink Floyd: The Music and the Mystery, Omnibus Press, Wikidata Q25766745
which is neither self published nor "about back-masking in general". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:23, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Keep Meets WP:NSONG. The sources in the article, including the ones presented above, are reliable enough IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 23:47, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The article is a little high on geek trivia, but Pink Floyd has such an intellectual following that all of their songs including this one are heavily analyzed in various mass-market books (those already mentioned, plus [2], [3], [4] among many others), and this one received additional attention due to the backmasking. The article can actually be cleaned up and expanded given the available sources. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:53, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
