Apples and Oranges (song)

"Apples and Oranges" is the third UK single by Pink Floyd, the final one written by Syd Barrett,[3] and released in 1967.

[4] Pink Floyd, along with Barrett, mimed the song on their first US televised performances on The Pat Boone Show and American Bandstand.

Barrett kept his lips closed during the first performance but mimed competently on the latter show, of which footage survives.

Waters blamed the single's sales performance on Norman Smith: "'Apples and Oranges' was destroyed by the production.

— Syd Barrett[10] NME hailed it as "the most psychedelic single the Pink Floyd have come up with", however, it was "pretty hard to get a hold of".
