The Trippiest Song Ever

Upping the stakes from the Beatles thread.
I expect to hear from some people who are more familiar with Pink Floyd than I am. I don't know the names of many of their songs.
Shpongle is another band that comes to mind but I couldn't pick which of their songs is trippiest. Maybe 'Around the World in a Tea Daze'.
I've been listening to Govinda recently (courtesy of danlennon) and loving their stuff. "Electric Gypsy" is a very, very trippy song.
There are some very trippy Dead songs, but trippy in a different sort of way. 'Mountains of the Moon', for example - classic.
And honestly, as I mentioned in the other thread, 'A Day in the Life' by the Beatles - I can't imagine listening to this song while tripping, I think I would short circuit.
What're your thoughts?
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

i think meddle by pink floyd is super trippy.
My favorite song by them is any colour you like, its trippy as fuck too and it just makes you feel so good when you're high.
i got plenty more but those are what you should listen to for now, then look into Atom Heart Mother, sheep, echoes etc.

For Pink Floyd, IMO the best album is Wish You Were Here... especially the title track and Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
Atom Heart Mother is pretty mellow feelin good kinda nice stuff. Animals is pretty "dark" in content Obscured By Clouds is out there..
I suggest downloading the trance mix of Wish You Were Here if you want something trippy.

There are 2 types of trippy music in my eyes... trippy music like Floyd and Beatles are in one category. The other type is electronic music. certain artists like sphongle, govinda and 1200 mics will take you on a journey. As much as i love the Beatles and Floyd(top 2 favorite bands), I go deeper into my psyche with certain electronic music. But it all depends on my state of the mind at the time.

Zone Out by Nas kinda got me once when I was tripping. God Speed You! Black Emperor's Dead Flag Blues and Funkadelic's Maggot Brain are the only two songs I've ever put on and just listened to over and over again, so I guess those would be my top two. Really a whole Funkadelic album is awesome. It's just so... good. It's fun to listen to, puts me in a good place definitely.

echoes is most certainly the trippiest Floyd song.

Muse is trippy? I think they're kinda overrated. The lyrics aren't special, and I was unimpressed with the live show compared to all the hype it got.

a couple of their old tracks are trippy but yes they definatly became too mainstream for their own good. some good tracks are New Born, space dementia, dark shines

Yea No Quarter is one of my favorite zeppelin tracks. Slightly better than Tool's cover only because its original.
