- "Corporal Clegg" is a song by British psychedelic rock band Pink Floyd, and is featured on their second album, A Saucerful of Secrets (1968). It was written by Roger Waters and features Syd Barrett and David Gilmour on vocals. Gilmour sings the main lyric and bridge, Barrett the counterpart to the main lyric, and the full band sings the chorus. The song also features a kazoo. The song is about a soldier who lost his leg in World War II, and his apparently alcoholic wife or mother . It is the first mention of war in a Pink Floyd song, something that would become a common theme in Roger Waters' lyrics, Roger having lost his father thus in 1944. This can be seen as rather lighter in tone than the Floyd's later tackling of the subject, though, despite the heavy irony (Clegg "won" his wooden leg in the war) and darkness behind the lyrics; indeed, among the cacophony of voices towards the end we hear an officer telling his one-legged man: "Clegg! Been meaning to speak to you. About that leg of yours! You're excused parade from now on!" and members of the band actually corpsing in the chorus. Although the song was never performed live, two videos of the song exists. The first one was shot on 19 or 20 February 1968 for Belgian RTB TV and features the band miming to a work-in-progress version of the song with a different ending. The second one was shot on 22 July 1969 for the West German SDR TV and broadcast on 21 September that year. The video takes place in a room with a dining table covered with exquisite food, and all four band members, wearing helmets, officer's caps and trench coats, are there enjoying the food. An accidental spillage of wine triggers a full scale food fight, resulting in the room getting completely trashed and all four band members covered in food, whilst the Dove of Peace (an actual white dove) is caught in the "crossfire". Interspersed throughout the video is footage of war and the band performing the song.
- Corporal Clegg és una cançó del grup de rock britànci Pink Floyd que apareix en el segon àlbum de la banda A Saucerful of Secrets de 1968. Fou escrita per Roger Waters i marca l'aparició de David Gilmour a la guitarra i a les veus, així com del kazoo. Curiosament l'inventor del kazoo es deia Thaddeus von Clegg, que porta el mateix nom que el caporal de la cançó. Aquest tema també és interpretat per Nick Mason les estrofes He won it in the war, In orange red an blue, He's never been the same i From her majesty the queen. Aquesta interpretació va ser confirmada en una emissió de ràdio Rockline de 1992. És la única peça on el bateria del grup canta, amb One of These Days, en la qual només recita una frase i a Scream Thy Last Scream, una composició inèdita de Syd Barrett. Corporal Clegg és la primera composició de Roger Waters que evoca la Segona Guerra Mundial durant la qual va morir el seu pare. Evoca l'oblit en el qual va caure el caporal Clegg, que va perdre la cama al combat sense ser recompensat; l'única medalla la va trobar al zoo i l'alcoholisme aparent de la seva esposa (Missus Clegg, another drop of gin?).
- "Corporal Clegg" es una canción de Pink Floyd del álbum A Saucerful of Secrets en 1968. Fue escrita por Roger Waters e incorpora a David Gilmour en la guitarra y la voz, con una extraña aparición vocal por parte del baterista Nick Mason, proporcionando las líneas: He won it in the war... , In orange red and blue... , He's never been the same... , and From her majesty the queen... ("Lo ganó en la guerra", "En rojo anaranjado y azul", "Nunca ha sido el mismo" y "Para su majestad la reina. ") La canción también incorpora un "kazoo". La canción trata sobre un soldado que perdió una pierna en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y también de su aparentemente alcohólica esposa o madre . Es la primera mención a la guerra en alguna canción de Pink Floyd, algo que posteriormente se haría común en las letras de Waters, debido a que perdió a su padre de esta manera en 1944. Esta canción es ligera en tono a comparación de como tomarían el tema los Floyd, a pesar de la fuerte ironía (Clegg "ganó" su pierna de madera en la guerra) y la oscuridad detrás de las letras.

Elle a été écrite par Roger Waters et marque l'apparition de David Gilmour à la guitare et au chant, ainsi qu'au kazoo. Curieusement, l'inventeur du kazoo s'appelait Thaddeus von Clegg, qui porte le même nom que le caporal de la chanson. Cette chanson voit également chanter Nick Mason (les couplets He won it in the war, In orange red and blue, He's never been the same et From her majesty the queen); cette performance a été confirmée dans une émission de radio, Rockline, en 1992. Cette chanson est la seule sur laquelle le batteur du groupe chante, avec One of These Days, dans laquelle il ne récite qu'une seule phrase, et Scream Thy Last Scream, une composition inédite de Syd Barrett. Corporal Clegg est la première composition de Roger Waters à évoquer la Seconde Guerre mondiale, durant laquelle mourut son propre père : elle évoque l'oubli dans lequel est tombé le caporal Clegg, qui perdit sa jambe au combat sans pour autant être récompensé (sa seule médaille, il l'a « trouvée au zoo »), et l'alcoolisme apparent de son épouse (Missus Clegg, another drop of gin?).
- A Pink Floyd Corporal Clegg című dala 1968. június 29-én jelent meg a zenekar A Saucerful of Secrets című albumán. A dalt Roger Waters írta, viszont David Gilmour énekli. Ez volt az első alkalom, hogy Nick Mason is énekelt egy Pink Floyd-dalban (a szakaszok utolsó sorait). Gilmour kazoon is játszik a dalban. A kazoot Thaddeus von Clegg német órásmester találta fel az 1840-es években, ezért lehetséges, hogy a dal főhősét róla nevezték el. A dal Clegg tizedesről és alkoholista feleségéről szól; a tizedes a második világháborúban elvesztette egyik lábát. Ez a Pink Floyd első dala, melynek központi témája a háború. Roger Waters a későbbi években egyre gyakrabban foglalkozott ezzel a témával, apja ugyanis a második világháborúban esett el.
