A sample of ‘Echoes’ from Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii can be heard at the end of the song "Birthday Boy" on the GodWeenSatan album.[6]
The lyrics of "Ocean Man" (from the album The Mollusk) also contain an ‘Echoes’ reference. “Ocean man, take me by the hand / lead me to the land / that you understand” mirrors a similar passage from ‘Echoes’: “And do I take you by the hand / and lead you through the land / and help me understand, the best I can?” [7]
