Maybe "charade you are" is an answer to the the first line "big man pig man" and this of course would mean that there are two voices in the song. While this is clearly a nod to the floyd song lyrics, it may also put them in context. 2nd, On an episode of weeds where kevin Nealon's charachter (Doug Wilson) does something to elicit the Elizabet Perkins' character (Celia Rhodes) to yell at him " big man Pig man!" to Which he responds "ha. Where they say big man pig man "haha charade you are" In the British accent it sounds like they are singing "sure right you are". I noticed this phrase used in three distinct incidents in pop culture.
The Wikipedia article on "Scott Tenorman Must Die" has some insights, which I mostly put here. Of course, none of this means that those pointy-pokey-jokey guys from South Park weren't making fun of Pink Floyd. Radiohead, aband influenced by the Floyd, was featured on the show as well. Scott gets Cartman to sing "I'm a lil' pig, oink oink oink, here is my tail and here is my snout" (or something similar) to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot".Īlso at the end Cartman says "That's All Folks" mimicing Porky Pig.Īnd as I'm sure we all know "Ha Ha Charade you are" is from the song "Pigs" The episode in particular (Scott Tenorman Must Die) uses several references to pigs. I don't think South Park was making fun of Pink Floyd. When I first heard Cartman say it on South Park, I thought it was "So right you are." It was my friend, who watches South Park regularly and listens to Animals (maybe more) regularly, who pointed out the connection. I don't think this would be a discussion. Maybe also "tricky you are." But if Waters had actually pronounced it 'sha-raid' instead of 'sha-rod' (which may be the English way). "Charade you are" meaning "fake you are" seems to be the best definition. "You know that I care what happens to you, This is not a complete synopsis of the album by any means, but you get the idea. We see a transition in the album of Pigs to Dog to Sheep (as the album was largely infulenced by George Orwell's novel Animal Farm), as Rogers explores society and balks at the present state of rich controlling the poor. So one can interpret this as Roger Water's belief that the 'Animals' -the rich industrialists, the people controlling- are not the powererful men that they may see themselves as.but instead, they are a laugh (ha! ha!).a charade of a REAL man.the working people.
To sum up, Roger Waters sees the big man, the "pig man", as a ''charade'', saying he is ".nearly a laugh, But you're really a cry". The entire album Animals is a direct attack against society and certain specific individuals, making it one of the more meaningful Floyd albums. there is a game using anagrams, where you re-arrange the letters of a noun to form new words or a sentence that describes that noun.sounds like loads of fun to me lol.Ĭharades is an 'acting' game where you visually act out a word, phrase, action etc (but you cant talk) while your partner guesses what you are trying to portray.Īnyways.the discussion on what "charade you are" means has already been answered for the most part.the writer of the song (in this case, Roger Waters,) is laughing at a "pig", which is (among other things) the industrial bourgeoisie of England, getting rich off the sweat and tears of the proletariat (working class people), and accsuing them of being nothing more than a charade (literally defined as: a parody a composition that imitates somebody's style in a humorous way.but in this case we bend it a bit to mean someone who is not what they seem and making fun of them for it).
I believe you are thinking of constructing anagrams, where you re-arrange a word to form other words using the exact same letters. "isnt charade a word game where you change the syllables?
