http://youtu.be/tcRYdVlGXNQ

Pink Floyd
From the album Animals, which has catagorizes man as Pigs, Dogs, or Sheep.

Lyrics:
Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan and I have seen
Things are not what they seem.

What do you get for pretending the danger's not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green he leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives he releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo,m he hath great power and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.

Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.

Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you're told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old.

I chose this song for this soundtrack because it is an excellent representation of the common people and the animals on Animal Farm.  Pink Floyd's album, Animals, was inspired by George Orwell's Animal Farm and categorizes people as pigs, dogs, or sheep.  "Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air" represents the majority of the animals on Animal Farm, not just the sheep.  "You better watch out/There may be dogs about" is a perfect example of what happened in Animal Farm.  The animals had to be careful not to show their discontent because the dogs would surely turn them into Napoleon and the fear of executions hung over their heads.  These lines also fit well with 1984 and the idea that Big Brother is always watching.  The lines "Meek and obedient you follow the leader/Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel" are quite terrifying.  I think they are a good representation of when the animals admitted their crimes and were slaughtered.  Finally in the end of the song, the sheep gain the courage to take action against the dogs.
