Vivian Stanshall of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band serves as the "master of ceremonies" on this track, appearing near the end of the song when he introduces various instruments that then each play the same melody:

grand piano
reed and pipe organ
glockenspiel
bass guitar
double-speed guitar
two slightly distorted guitars
mandolin
Spanish guitar and introducing acoustic guitar
plus, tubular bells

Stanshall was available because the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band was next up in the studio. According to Oldfield, getting Stanshall to say the words correctly was a challenge: he was sloppy drunk and kept getting them wrong.

Sometimes RP gets on a groove that just grates.  I was about to turn it off when this came on.  All is good with the world again.

2009 remix. Hmm. It seems a little more electronic-y, a little harsher, a little cleaner, colder, more transparent. Not sure I like it as much. I fear change.
Still a 10, though.

 
yep, definitely sounds less organic than the original; a little too "clean". They did a live on BBC that's pretty nice.

8 on my part and to all the haters out there, there's always the PSD button guys...!!
Where can I get the original?
{#Music}{#Clap} One of THE BEST songs EVER!!!! (I mean the Original of course)
If you like the Finale, try this

love psd, this music is welcome over Pink Floyd's long blocky brick walls

Yeah, Let's just throw a bunch of things together. It worked for the Beatles!
Popped up during psd, so good! 
Glockenspiel!

My sentiment exactly. If there was doobie involved I might bump it up a little. But then again, no. No I wouldn't.
Use to fire up a doobie and listen to this in the pitch dark. Somenights would scare me terribly! Loved it then and now.......a 10!

It sucked then.  It sucks now.  Where the #(*%& is my iPod?  Quickly...
Yes, this remix sounds a little different.  But I'm still enjoying it after so many years.
Not a bad remix and I usually don't go for those at all.
Pea soup.

I was just talking to someone about this tune the other day.

I said it was one of the most perfect soundtrack selections ever.

Good stuff! Thanks for adding it, Bill! {#Clap}
A classic from the ol' days. Wow. Wore this one out way back when. Good choice, Bill.
