Pink Floyd reference, yes?

Soon, I will be setting controls for the heart of the pun....

My generation may remember her voice best for "We'll Meet Again" covering the series of hydrogen bomb detonations at the end of Dr. Strangelove. Later on I learned that Dame Vera was a genuine British heroine of WWII. God bless the lady.

Yeah... post 18 has full lyrics.

Funny this is I’ve been a huge Pink Floyd fan, and never knew Vera was a real person. I thought she was an old girlfriend of Pink’s.

(For those not so much into Pink Floyd, there is no real person named Pink Floyd, as mockingly noted in the lyric, “by the way which one’s Pink?” However, after writing that lyric, they created a fictional character for ‘The Wall,’ based in large parts on former band leader Syd Barrett, who went nuts like Pink, albeit with Roger Waters filling the character with several of his own issues.)

Pink Floyd rocks!
