Barbed wire, also known as barb wire (and sometimes bob-wire or bobbed wire), is a type of fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strand(s). It is used to construct inexpensive fences and is used atop walls surrounding secured property. It is also a major feature of the fortifications in trench warfare (as a wire obstacle).
A person or animal trying to pass through or over barbed wire will suffer discomfort and possibly injury. Barbed wire fencing requires only fence posts, wire, and fixing devices such as staples. It is simple to construct and quick to erect, even by an unskilled person.
The first patent in the United States for barbed wire was issued in 1867 to Lucien B. Smith of Kent, Ohio, who is regarded as the inventor.Joseph F. Glidden of DeKalb, Illinois, received a patent for the modern invention in 1874 after he made his own modifications to previous versions.
Barbed wire was the first wire technology capable of restraining cattle. Wire fences were cheaper and easier to erect than their alternatives. (One such alternative was Osage orange, a thorny bush which was time-consuming to transplant and grow. The Osage orange later became a supplier of the wood used in making barb wire fence posts.) When wire fences became widely available in the United States in the late 19th century, they made it affordable to fence much larger areas than before. They made intensive animal husbandry practical on a much larger scale.

Jesús "Jess" Franco (born 12 May 1930 as Jesús Franco Manera) is a Spanish film director, writer, cinematographer and actor. His career took off in 1961 with his cult classic The Awful Dr. Orloff, which received wide distribution in the United States and England. Though he had some American box office success with Necronomicon (1967), Ninety-Nine Women (1968) and his two Christopher Lee films, The Bloody Judge and Count Dracula, he never achieved wide commercial success. Franco moved from Spain to France in 1970 so that he could make more violent and sexual films, and it was at this point that his career began to go downhill commercially, as he turned to low-budget filmmaking with a heavier accent on adult films. Although he produced a few well-received, low budget horror films in the early 70's (Dracula vs Frankenstein, Vampyros Lesbos, A Virgin Among the Living Dead), many people in the industry considered him a porn director due to the huge number of X-rated adult films he began churning out. Franco returned to low-budget horror in a brief comeback period from 1980-1983 (Bloody Moon, Mondo Cannibale, Oasis of the Zombies), but after 1983, his career took a second downturn as he drifted back into porn. With the exception of his Faceless (1988) and Killer Barbys (1996), his post-1983 films are almost unwatchable due to the incredibly low budgets he was forced to work with. Franco has nevertheless retained a large cult following through the years with his sexually-charged horror films, some of which are regarded as masterpieces by his avid followers. Franco's fans tend to obsessively collect all of his films (both the good and the execrable) and line up for hours at horror conventions for a chance to meet him in person.
Standin' by the window
Watchin' all the rain
Wonderin' where the wind blows
It's comin' round again
Thinkin' all is said and done
You've heard it all before
Too much worryin' 'bout the future
Ain't it funny how it goes
To lie on barbed wire
To live on the summer wind
Too late, too late to compromise
It's only lies in the end
Runnin' in a circle
Tomorrow said we'd have a chance
Memories like a mirror
When you're living in the past
To lie on barbed wire
To live on the summer wind
Too late, too late to compromise
It's only
To lie on barbed wire
To live on the summer wind
Too late, too late to compromise
It's only lies comin' round again
Comin' round again
What makes me feel so good
Is that everthing's the way it should be
Freedom, true love, new love, do love,
love making love, right back to you
Now don't be blue, just try to be true
True to yourself, 'cause you're so smart
And we all know what drove us apart was all that...
Barbed wire all around your heart (x3)
You said you're changing your telephone number
If I don't stop calling you, you don't wanna hear
You want me out of your life forever
Well I think that's great, now I'll have to learn to
love you
Like I love God, like other ones that I've loved
You must not fear, but I'm always here, and now it's
clear
You don't want me, you want your anonymous programs
Barbed wire around your heart
Barbed wire all around your heart (x3)
The Rude Boy loves the Rude Girl then leaves her
crying for more,
Just rapes her and makes her feel like a whore
First ecstasy and unity then misery and cruelty
But look who's having problems with the program
A.A., once an addict, always verdict
Evil brainwash therapy for alcoholics
They go there ever day and make the good thing go
away
They keep up their sobriety for that's what they make
them fear
But Jesus is no part of it, Bill kicked him off the
program
Babaji you don't really seek, you think he's just a
geek
You hate me now with all your guts
You think I'm the one who was nuts
Well wait and see and go, go on with your program
You think I'm evil and bad, but I'm only human
My love for you complete is great, you think it's an
obsession
You really are my sweetest treasure,
But I will not enter your evil paradise, don't worry!
You've got...
Barbed wire all around your heart
Barbed wire all around your heart
Barbed wire around your heart
