1987 song by Pink Floyd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Yet Another Movie" is the sixth track, along with "Round and Around" on Pink Floyd's 1987 album, A Momentary Lapse of Reason.[2][3] It began as an instrumental piece to which words were later added and features soundbites from the films One-Eyed Jacks and Casablanca.[4] It criticizes the derivative nature of Hollywood.

The song was written by David Gilmour and producer/ keyboardist Patrick Leonard. The originally released version was produced by Bob Ezrin.
Live
The piece was performed at every show in Pink Floyd's 1987–1989 tours as the fourth piece in the first set of the show (falling between "Learning to Fly" and "Round and Around") and was featured on the live album Delicate Sound of Thunder. The lap steel guitar that appears at the end of the studio version of "Yet Another Movie" was replaced by a normal guitar solo played at a lower octave on the live performances of the track. On Delicate Sound of Thunder and the 2011 remaster of A Momentary Lapse of Reason, the band separated "Yet Another Movie" from "Round and Around" into different tracks.
Demo
On 24 September 2021, Pink Floyd published the original, instrumental, demo of the track, recorded on The Astoria in September 1986, on YouTube. Featuring only Gilmour, on a fretless bass, and Leonard, it runs to 6 minutes 39 seconds.[5]
