Now they are playing Cruisin' with Reuben & the Jets:
Cheap Thrills, in the back of my car

A Pink Floyd tour provides the background of this mashup inspired by Frank Zappa's loving Doo Wop satires. English actor Joan Collins is in the mix as a 50's pinup, and in one of the more explicit roles which came later. The tragic Syd Barrett sulks in the corner while an unnamed model shoots publicity for one of his ill-fated solo albums. Overlooking everything is the All-seeing Eye on the back of the ONE -- both fueling and corrupting the art and good fun which sex and drugs might miss.
