"Flaming" is a song by psychedelic rock band Pink Floyd, and is featured in their debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. The song, written by Syd Barrett, is basically a child-like game scenario between two friends, hence "Flaming through the foggy dew". After David Gilmour joined the band, the song remained in the playlist for a short while in 1968.

Post-Barrett live incarnations of the song are often mocked by fans; its happy, surreal lyrics were entirely different from anything in Pink Floyd's setlist that year, and the lead vocals were delivered by David Gilmour in an amazingly unenthusiastic voice (video bootlegs of the song in 1968 show Gilmour with an extremely unhappy expression on his face as he sang it). The song opened with a very uncharacteristic slide whistle played by Roger Waters.
