"Candy and a Currant Bun" was the B-side to Pink Floyd's first single, Arnold Layne. When performed live in 1967, the song was known as "Let's Roll Another One" and contained the lines "I'm high/Don't try to spoil my fun/Don't cry/We'll roll another one", but the record company forced Syd Barrett to rewrite it without the controversial drug references. Ironically, Barrett also replaced the line "Just walk with me" with "Just fuck with me," yet the record company apparently failed to notice this lyric change.

The Mars Volta cover
The Mars Volta's cover of "Candy and Currant Bun" was released in some U.S. indie stores as free 5" VinylDisc. It was given away with purchase of the album (The Bedlam in Goliath). The VinylDisc is a new format that has a digital side and a vinyl side. One side plays in a CD player, while the other side plays on a turntable. The vinyl side contains the Pink Floyd cover "Candy and a Currant Bun", while the CD side contains the audio track for "Candy and a Currant Bun" as well as the Wax Simulacra video as enhanced content. It also comes with a removable foam spindle insert to switch between CD & vinyl.
