Can anyone help me name a Pink Floyd track?

[jgamble_666]

My dad is trying to track down a song he heard on a compilation tape in 1974 which he thinks might be by either Pink Floyd or Led Zepplin. The song starts with a sound effect of a bee buzzing and from what my dad can remember it is an acoustic guitar song with a lot of sliding up and down the strings. He reckons it was an album track as opposed to a single, and was obviously from an album released prior to 1974. Any ideas anyone?

Cheers for your help,

Probably Narrow Way Part One off the Ummagumma album.

Grantchester Meadows from Ummagumma.

"Grantchester Meadows" actually ends with the bee buzzing, but that could be it.

Grantchester Meadows has the bee buzzing but not all the sliding up and down guitar noises. Someone's helpfully uploaded the original album version to YouTube, complete with sunny pastoral footage.
Grantchester Meadows

This is The Narrow Way Part 1.
again on YouTube

'Grantchester Meadows' DOES have "sliding" sounds. Not the slide guitar sounds heard on OOTD et al, but the ones that appear prominently when you have wet fingers an change chords with your fret hand, "friction" sounds.

that was a fly buzzing not a bee in Granchester Meadows to "be" specific

Just want to thank everyone who contributed to this discussion. It made my day.
I'm like the Dad in the initial post. As a teenager I heard a song. I heard a buzzing fly that got swatted, followed by music that sounded like all of the after-effects of the fly's death -- a community in mourning, the transition of the soul to its afterlife, the gates of Heaven opening, etc. At least that was how the "altered state" of my brain put it all together. But I never knew the name of the song.
Four decades later I tried to track it down. Some googling lead me to this page. Feels like I hit the jackpot (-:

Anyway, last night my GF and I listened to Grantchester Meadows followed by Several Species of Small Furry Animals.
I told her about my under-the-influence teenage interpretation of the song (actually two songs, but who knew at the time).
We had a good laugh about it.
Thing is, listening again four decades later, I still like my original interpretation. Why shouldn't a dead fly be mourned by loved ones? Why shouldn't it move on to the next plane of existence? Why shouldn't Pink Floyd write a song about it?
Schmoke a lil weed, listen to the songs, and you may wonder the same thing (-:

Hey old dog how old are you anyway? Hell, I just turned 56 and some would say I'm an old dog but there are others on here just as old or some even older.
