Would "Candy and a Currant Bun" win if it had it's original title and lyrics?
When performed live in 1967, the song was known as "Let's Roll Another One" and contained the line "I'm high – Don't try to spoil my fun", but the record company forced Syd Barrett to rewrite it, at the suggestion of Roger Waters, without the controversial drug references.

I love this photo, especially after from an interview with David telling of his buying of that unit and bringing it to the studio during the "Meddle" sessions at Abby Road to fiddle about and experiment with it. I believe in this photo he/they are still trying just to learn all of the modes and features of the Synth. Here's a link to a great article about the history of this instrument with the band and how it's sounds were a part of several of their albums.

Interesting to come across this photo of the site were the album art was taken, because one of the main themes of the album "Wish You Were Here" is Absence, and this photo is absent of the guys shaking hands, with the one guy on fire. (Theme within a theme) Ironic and iconic.
The album art on the cover is depicting the "absence of trust", by showing that the one guy is on fire (representing his feeling of getting burned and not trusting the guy he's shaking hands with, implying they are making a deal) I this photo, the fear is gone!
Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here
