ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Pink Floyd pigs

Pink Floyd is a band that makes music with instruments and singing. Sometimes when they perform their music, they use big inflatable animals as part of their stage show. One of the inflatable animals is a big, pink pig.

The Pink Floyd pig is special because it represents different things to different people. For some, the pig represents big businesses and how they can be greedy and take advantage of people. For others, the pig just looks cool and is fun to see floating around during a concert.

When Pink Floyd performed a concert in 1977, they had a giant pig-shaped balloon that was supposed to fly over the audience. But something went wrong and the pig got away and flew away into the sky. The band was upset, but some people thought it was funny.

Since then, Pink Floyd has used the pig in different ways in their stage shows and in their album artwork. The pig has become an important part of Pink Floyd's image and legacy.
