The Show Must Go On. In the Flesh. Run Like Hell. Waiting for the Worms. The Trial. Outside the Wall. November 30, 26 Songs, 1 Hour, 21 Minutes. Music Videos. Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. More by Pink Floyd. The Dark Side of the Moon Wish You Were Here Animals During 'Part 1', the protagonist, Pink, begins building a metaphorical wall around himself following the death of his father.

In 'Part 2', traumas involving his overprotective mother and abusive schoolteachers become bricks in the wall. Following a violent breakdown in 'Part 3', Pink dismisses everyone he knows as 'just bricks in the wall'. Bassist Roger Waters wrote 'Part 2' as a protest against rigid schooling, particularly boarding schools. In the 'Part 2' sequence, children enter a school and march in unison through a meat grinder, becoming 'putty-faced' clones, before rioting and burning down the school.

At the suggestion of producer Bob Ezrin, Pink Floyd added elements of disco, which was popular at the time. According to guitarist David Gilmour:. Then we went back and tried to turn one of the parts into one of those so it would be catchy. The band resisted, saying they did not release singles; Waters told him: 'Go ahead and waste your time doing silly stuff.

While the band members were away, Ezrin edited the takes into an extended version. The school allotted only 40 minutes for the recording.

Alun Renshaw, head of music at the school, was enthusiastic, and said later: 'I wanted to make music relevant to the kids — not just sitting around listening to Tchaikovsky.

I thought the lyrics were great — 'We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control' I just thought it would be a wonderful experience for the kids. But on balance it was part of a very rich musical education. For the single version, a four-bar instrumental intro was added to the song that was created by looping a section of the backing track.

The single fades out during the guitar solo. The version included on the compilation A Collection of Great Dance Songs combines the single version's intro and the LP version's ending. In exchange for performing vocals, the children of Islington School received tickets to a Pink Floyd concert, an album, and a single. After royalties agent Peter Rowan traced the choir members through the website Friends Reunited and other means, they successfully lodged a claim for royalties with the Performing Artists' Media Rights Association in The lyrics attracted controversy.

The Inner London Education Authority described the song as 'scandalous', and according to Renshaw, prime minister Margaret Thatcher 'hated it'.

It was [Waters'] reflections on his life and how his schooling was part of that. The song featured in most Pink Floyd live gigs since its release the only notable exceptions being the Knebworth appearance and the Live 8 reunion gig. The Wall Live —81, Gilmour's solo was followed by another guitar solo played by Snowy White in and Andy Roberts in and finally an organ solo by Richard Wright.

The song was differently arranged on both tours after the departure of Roger Waters. On all shows of the Gilmour-led Floyd, Gilmour sang the lead vocals in unison with Guy Pratt, the children's vocals were augmented by live singing from the female backing vocalists, and the song incorporated a second guitar solo by Tim Renwick but no keyboard solo.

Aside from this, the overall arrangements in and were different. On the A Momentary Lapse of Reason tour, the two guitar solos were adjoined by a short piece of jamming. The song now started with an intro similar to the single version but with a 'teaser break' before the start of the vocals, and ended with a fadeout drowned out by children's voices not dissimilar to the album version.

This arrangement can be heard on Delicate Sound of Thunder. The tour, instead, saw a different and longer version that combines elements of all the songs's three parts. On P-u-l-s-e, the song opens with the phone signal which originally bridged Part 2 with Mother, then a helicopter is heard from The Happiest Days of Our Lives , before the band starts playing a short instrumental excerpt of Part 1.

The bombastic ending of The Happiest Days of Our Lives leads into Part 2 as on the album , and the ending incorporates the keyboard arpeggio of Part 3, the return of helicopter noises before the song comes to a full stop as opposed to a fade-out. On the version from the video, the final minute also includes a sample of the vocal echo of Dogs.

In that respect, they had more in common with punk than the punks would probably admit. What had once felt expansive take the long song-suites of Animals or The Dark Side of the Moon now felt claustrophobic and fragmented, a picture rendered in shrapnel.

At one point, Ezrin suggested that guitarist David Gilmour go to a club to hear the then-new sound of disco. In addition to elevating them to implausibly greater levels of fame, The Wall marked the last time Waters and the rest of the band would work together in a meaningful way. In between, they managed to take The Wall on tour. Ezrin, who had run afoul of Waters after unwittingly telling a journalist friend what the conceit of the show was going to be, was forced to buy his own ticket.
