"Part II", best known for the line "We don't need no education", was released as a single, and provided the band's only number-one hit in the UK, the US, West Germany and many other countries. In the UK, it was their first single since 1968's "Point Me at the Sky". It is a protest song against rigid schooling in general and boarding schools in particular, which has led to the song being banned in several countries.^[2] Motto: (Out Of Many, One) (traditional) In God We Trust (1956 to date) Anthem: The Star-Spangled Banner Capital Washington D.C.

For "Part II", Pink Floyd needed a school choir, and producer Bob Ezrin asked sound engineer Nick Griffiths to find one. Griffiths approached music teacher Alun Renshaw of Islington Green School,^[3] around the corner from their Britannia Row Studios. The choir were not allowed to hear the rest of the song after singing the chorus, and were let down, as they wanted to hear Gilmour's solo^{[citation needed]}. The chorus was overdubbed 12 times to give the impression that the choir was larger. Though the school received a lump sum payment of £1000, there was no contractual arrangement for royalties from record sales. Under 1996 UK copyright law, they became eligible for royalties from broadcasts, and after royalties agent Peter Rowan traced choir members through the website Friends Reunited and other means, they claimed their payments. Contrary to press reports, this did not involve suing Pink Floyd. Music industry professionals estimated that each student would be owed around £500.^[4] This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...

Concept

Part I

Composition

Part one of the song is very quiet in dynamics, and features a long, subdued guitar solo. The vocals are softer and more gentle in tone than in Parts II and III, although there is a short, sharp rise in dynamics and tone for a brief period towards the end of the lyrical portion.

Plot

The Thin Ice discussed during the previous song breaks when Pink becomes older and learns of the death of his father. Pink is devastated by this reality and begins to build The Wall. The Thin Ice is a song by the British progressive rock band Pink Floyd. ...

Film version

Pink's mother is seen praying in a church, after the death of her husband overseas. Pink however is, at this point, oblivious of his death, playing with a toy aeroplane. The song continues with Pink playing in a public park, after his mother leaves him to go shopping. He sees a man, who he takes a liking to in the absence of his own father. The man gives Pink a lift onto a ride, and it's clear Pink feels as if this man is his real father. Pink follows the man's son around, copying him, but doesn't understand why the other boy's father isn't paying attention to him. He grabs the man's hand, but is shooed away, only to grab the man's hand again. The man pushes Pink away again, and dejectedly he sits on a swing.

Composition

In the album version of The Wall, "Another Brick in the Wall, Part II" transitions in from "The Happiest Days of Our Lives", with a trademark scream from Roger Waters (Waters screams like this most notably on the track "Careful with That Axe, Eugene"). The two songs are sometimes played one after the other on the radio, particularly on rock stations, because of how the songs merge together, and because the single version (difficult to find on CD) has a guitar intro not used on the album. The song has strong drums and distinctive guitar parts in the background with a smooth yet edgy guitar solo. The song also features a school choir for lead vocals in some sections and back up vocals in other sections. As the song ends, the sounds of a school yard are heard, along with the teacher who continues to lord it over the children's lives by shouting such things as "Wrong! Do it again!" and "If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding! How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?!", all of it dissolving into the dull drone of a phone ringing, and ending with a deep sigh.

George Roger Waters (born September 6, 1943) is an English rock musician; singer, guitarist, bassist, songwriter, and composer. ... Careful With That Axe, Eugene is a Pink Floyd song. ...

Plot

After being insulted by the teacher, Pink dreams that the kids in Pink's school begin to protest against their abusive teachers. This causes Pink to continue to become more isolated from society.

Film version/music video

Following "The Happiest Days of Our Lives" Pink starts to daydream during his class. He imagines several students marching in unison to the beat of the song, walking through a machine only to emerge as putty-faced clones void of any individual distinction. The children ultimately fall blindly into an oversized meat grinder, pulverized and minced into worms. Starting with Gilmour's guitar solo, the children destroy their school and create a bonfire, dragging their teacher out of the burning school kicking and screaming. The song ends with Pink rubbing his hand, which the teacher slapped with a ruler in the previous song.

Prior to the film, the first video for the track, directed by Gerald Scarfe, depicted students running in a playground and the teacher puppet from The Wall concerts was used. The video also mixed in some animated scenes later used in "The Trial" and "Waiting for the Worms". According to the BBC website The children who sang on Another Brick in the Wall (Pt 2) couldn't appear in the video because they didn't hold Equity Cards ^[5]. Gerald Scarfe (born 1936) is a British cartoonist and illustrator whose work is characterised by an apparent obsession with the grotesque and diseased, perhaps a result of an asthmatic, bed-ridden childhood. ...
