Upbeat yet somehow retains the grimness of the original. Epic song.

This release reached number 10 on the UK Singles Chart. David Gilmour and Nick Mason expressed a liking for the group's version,[42] and Roger Waters is said to have congratulated the Scissor Sisters on the version, although a lyric was changed, from "a distant ship's smoke on the horizon" to "a distant ship floats on the horizon".[43] Jake Shears, the band's lead singer, was invited by Gilmour to sing "Comfortably Numb" with him in some 2006 shows, but the idea was dropped at the last moment to Shears' public disappointment.[44] This cover received a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording but lost to "Toxic" by Britney Spears.[45]
