Music and lyricsThe song is built around a descending riff, with the dominant instrument being composer Syd Barrett's electric guitar, fed through an echo machine; the resultant sound has been likened to a "sinister" Duane Eddy.[2] This is augmented by bowed bass and increasingly agitated organ and percussion effects.[3] Though the lyric frequently refers to Lucifer Sam as a cat, some speculation has arisen as to whether this was in fact slang ("a hip cat") for a man, real or imagined, in some type of relationship with Barrett's then-girlfriend, Jenny Spires (referred to in the song as "Jennifer Gentle").[3] However, Sam was simply Barrett's Siamese cat (and is referred to as such in the first line: "Lucifer Sam, Siam cat"); the track was originally called "Percy the Rat Catcher" during the recording sessions, which took place between April and June 1967.[4] Personnel
Live and cover versions"Lucifer Sam" was only performed live by Pink Floyd in 1967[4] and featured as an encore during many performances, mostly notably at the Games for May concert. Barrett later performed the song with his 1972 band Stars.[5] Lightning Seeds covered the song as a B-side, and it appeared on their 2006 best of collection.[6]The track has also been covered by the Black Crowes, Electric Hellfire Club, the Minders, the Flaming Lips, True West, Jay Farrar, Love and Rockets,[7] Shockabilly, La Muerte, the Sadies, the Three O'Clock, MGMT, Spirits in the Sky, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Cat's Eyes, Bauhaus, Southern Culture on the Skids and Chris & Cosey. Nick Mason played this during his 2018 Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets tour of Europe.
