Barrett, Syd - Effervescing Elephant Lyrics
An Effervescing Elephant
with tiny eyes and great big trunk
Once whispered to the tiny ear
The ear of one inferior
that by next June he'd die, oh yeah!
The little one said, "Oh my goodness I must stay at home"
And every time I hear a growl
I'll know the tiger's on the prowl
and I'll be really safe, you know
the elephant he told me so
Everyone was nervy, oh yeah!
and the message was spread
to zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus
who wallowed in the mud and chewed
his spicy hippo-plankton food
preferring to survey a herd
of stupid water bison, oh yeah
And all the jungle took fright
and ran around for all the day and the night
but all in vain, because, you see
the tiger came and said "Who me?
you know I wouldn't hurt not one of you
I'd much prefer something to chew
and your all to scant." Oh yeah!
He ate the elephant

Barrett, Syd Effervescing Elephant Comments
beautiful video and syd anyway
this whole thing is fucking beutiful
tigers don't exist in africa, otherwise this is good captures the spirit of the song
spooky soudn effect aæè
En résumé, après avoir réalisé trois chefs-d'œuvre absolus de tout le rock psychédélique, une fois son travail
terminé et son statut de chef spirituel et artistique assumé, Syd s'est retiré et a mené une vie paisible, loin de la pression de son statut d'idole de la pop. Cela ressemble à une carrière brillante pour moi, pas tragique !
Is it just me or is there like 20 different British accents.
Finding your channel was like falling in love.
.................
What a fantastic tribute to Syd's music.
Flaming please!!!!

This is wild
I wish you would upload more
Thank you so much I never knew I need this in my life until now saving for my next acid trip
Wow. They made an animated short based on a Syd Barrett song.
This song was HARD TO LEARN THE LYRICS TO, for me. I don't read lyrics. I sing along incorrectly with the volume on high lol.
yet, it's one of the only songs that I know perfectly. Even to like lol, straining to breathe; cept i don't. idk. im going to trip again soon! fuck yes.
that is an awesome video. you and some folks did very well.
Increíble, no puedo decir otra cosa....
Enter Nostalgia
You're very talented. If I had the money I would hire you. :P
amazing
this is the best thing ever
Syd was 17 years old when he wrote it. 🔥❤
Play it at 2X speed
I adore this song
RIP 13 years ago today <3 Shine on!
6 un grande
I love Syd Barrett's strong British accent while singing. It's unlike Queen or Oasis. Freddie Mercury (To me) sounded like an American when he sang, but not when he spoke.
James 2:6 "Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones
who are dragging you into court?"
Sounds like singing from DHMIS
I hate begining and ending sounds
1:22 to the end. I cant stop watching and its addicting
I love it how the elephant disappears
While he has 7.9 k subs.. It seems like hell
I swear I could see this in like, Gumball or something
this is definitely something syd barrett would make
This channel is pure art
This is super impressive.
So smooth
https://youtu.be/addme/5nn3KxZYUEbzCli1F1V6KHJRCdnwvA here im great with ideas this is my youtube chat link hit me up if you want any I love your work ! and I am very creative my self to a point..
can I suggest you do a tribute to the old shows on adult swim like space ghost coast to coast, brak show, sealab 2021, or aqua teen hunger force
Finally!!¡! somebody made a video for this... thank you!🐘🙏✌
Artistically ...
Damm it thiger
A Tiger in Africa?
I love how the elephant is there at 1:25 but after the Tiger's revelation he's gone from 1:27
I thought that this was actually vintage until the pan around the hippo
The animation is at its best
for some reason it recognized me about Felix Colgrave
This looks like amazing world of gumball
Reminds me of Clarance, that TV Show. Or at least the music does.
I've recently been going down the rabbit hole of the madcap, savouring every little bit of his music and how pleasant was my surprise when the creator of that wonderfully disturbing Simpsons VHS thing also authored this masterpiece of a tribute to the man himself! Thank you yoagnhervfo for existing.
[oh yeah]
Spicy hippoplacton food here!!!
Mr. PoPo 0:57
A tiger.. In Africa?
Is this video available for free fair use? As in, if I was making a movie, and my character was watching tv and he turned the channel and found this, would I be able to write it into the script??
I'm so high Rn
*silently watching*
Deserves more views.
I've always loved this tune, and now I love this animation as well. Very well done, and absolutely spot on. Cheers friend.
There are no wild tigers in Africa.LSD is a hell of a drug
That greedy tiger, dosent even give any to the leapords
Oh wait he ate them too 😖
Syd Barrett is dope and more people need to know about him
he would have made a great children's tv programming maker for bbc
really awesome. you're a legend
Your art style accompanied with the VHS effect is such eye candy!
O.o
Such a masterpiece! Syd would be proud of this!
I can't stop looking at it
This is so perfect dude. Amazing!
from simpsons to this. amazing
That was a lot to take in
I can't wait to see what you put out next
This reminds me a little bit of keké
this proves again that Barrett was the best...
1:34 it took me so long to realize what that red thing was hanging out of the elaphant a nose spot
That "Who? ME?!" moment is great. Expressions on point.
That was awesome. A catchy little Syd number and fab animation. Thanks for sharing your talent!
Nice visuals
tigers are in INDIA
And africa but there is fewer
very very very cool
World needs more Syd
this is so amazing and it fits perfectly with the song, great work!
First song I ever learned on guitar!
That was so good!!
Perfect.
Amazing!
My favourite touch is the bit where the frog says "Oh Yeah".
1:28
I agree
Oh yeah mr cra- frog
this is what would happen if Rodney greenblat made a YouTube channel
You should have a patreon
12 people are too scant...
how the hell the tiger ate the elephant 😂
Ask that to Syd LOL
I litteraly have no idea
cos he was an effervescent elephant lol
I love it, the tiger will rome it, ha ha, get it!
He ate the elephant
everytime, I watched it last year on the 2nd grade last year!
That really is wonderful work you've done. From everything I've read on Syd Barrett he would have been a fan of this.
Another Syd Barrett fan ^^
This is magnificent!
All dislikes are probably elephants
But seriously i love this song btw the earth looks like kurzgesagt
Haha I was thinking the same
Yes a new video
