Up the Khyber is a song by the British rock band Pink Floyd. It was written by their drummer Nick Mason, and keyboardist Richard Wright. Essentially, the song is an extended drum solo with added hectic piano playing and unusual tape effects. The song was played live in a slightly altered state on The Man And The Journey where it was entitled, "Work". It is approximately 2 minutes and 12 seconds long, and first appeared on Pink Floyds soundtrack for the film "More".
