I am working on cleaning up this article along with completing the two parts of this song.

more trivia: The choir singing "All in All it's just..." sounds very close to German "Hol ihn, hol ihn unters Dach" (Get him, get him under the roof). --84.56.223.181 15:19, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a "Floydish" thing to do. --Eddie 13:09, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Teacher's voice

Does the school teacher's voice belong to John Cleese? --Ceaser 20:29, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I seriously doubt it.

The teacher's voice belongs to the late British character actor Alex McAvoy. He played the part in the Wall movie. --Sk'py Skwrrrl 21:48, 21 July 2006 (UTC) ^^i thought waters would have done it on the album

Waters DOES say it on the album and sounds nothing like the actor in the film! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.121.143.143 (talk) 23:14, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Occasions this song was used

I have heard it was used during the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, but I can not confirm this evidently. Does someone know more? Wandalstouring 11:03, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AKEFB

All three parts of "Another Brick In The Wall" are independent songs - or at least as independent as any other pieces within the broader context of "The Wall" - and really should have their own pages. The page for the whole trilogy is too messy and over-emphasises part 2.

[edit] Miscrediting

"Another Brick In The Wall" did not appear on the Resident Evil soundtrack. It did however appear on the soundtrack to the movie The Faculty and was covered by Class of 99.--Marr0w 05:52, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing Trivia

Someone removed all the trivia listing the common mishearings around the world claming "needs reference, I've never heard of anyone mishearing, therefore it can't be that many" (22:03, 11 May 2006 by User:M4bwav). So let me get this right, becouse this one person never heard of it, it never happens? I'm sure that there are many things in this world that exists with out his knowledge. It's my assesment that these trivia items that were removed are some of these bits of knowledge that exists and yet are unknown to him. My question is, do other people feel that this content (which was provided by multiple people) adds value to the artical and should be allowed to say?--Ceaser 10:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seperating pages.

The three parts of "Another brick in the Wall" should have their own pages. Part III has only got a sum-up of the plot, it needs more information (about the sound effects, for example). Part II has good information, which should be fitted into a seperate page.

[edit] Gilmour says

"Even the songs that Roger supposedly wrote by himself, it's never the full story. You can never say exactly what happened when that record was made. The whole ending part of 'Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)', he didn't write the guitar solo or the chords in that section. He didn't make up the drum parts, the rhythm. I'm not going to abandon something I've worked really hard on, or feel I had something major to do with, just because it says Roger wrote it. Life is too short." - David Gilmour

I'm gonna put this in the page. If someone think it's wrong, reply here.

[edit] German

The trivia section currently contains the following:

In the Part of the Childs-Chourus can you hear "Hohl, ihn, hohl ihn unter's Dach!"

Is there any evidence this was intentional or in any way meaningful, as oppose to someone (an editor of this article?) going "hmm....that's odd"? If not I will remove it. --Black Butterfly 18:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "William Floyd"

What? I have found no mention of this anywhere - in The Wall Revisited documentaries etc. he is always referred to as "Pink" - or in any Wikipedia article. Indeed, in some part (I think in The Wall) his name is hypothesised as Floyd Pinkerton.

Seeing as the rest of the article refers to him as Pink as well, I will change all references to "William Floyd" to plainly "Pink".

Φ 21:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

(I couldn't find the edit where this was changed - it seemed pretty established.)

[edit] Class of '99

I have reinserted and reworded the reference to the Class of '99 cover. The original text was badly worded as it emphasised the fact that it wasn't by Marilyn Manson. I have however mentioned that it is sometimes attributed to Manson, as a quick Google search may indicate. I feel this may be useful for someone looking for information on a recording they believe to be Manson's. --Black Butterfly 21:41, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone notice that Pink Floyd sings 'leave THEM kids alone', where as the choir sings 'leave THOSE kids alone'. Maybe their teacher didn't want them to sign 'THEM'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnsirett (talk • contribs) 18:51, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Another Brick in the Wall, Part 3.ogg

Image:Another Brick in the Wall, Part 3.ogg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Mash Up with S+P

    In 1997, a mash-up of the song and Salt n Pepa's track "Gitty Up" became popular, especially in
    Australia where it reached the top 20.

The song Gitty Up was released as a single in 1998, so I think the timeline is off a bit on this fact. Also, this would need a citation if you are going to claim it reached top 20 - whose top 20? who did the mash-up? Addionne (talk) 15:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
