[edit] Jawohl?

The article states that "They are chanting a single word, which does not become intelligible until around 3:38, at which point it can clearly be heard as the German word "jawohl."" I've always head them chanting "Hammer," which seems to make a lot more sense, given that it's at this point during the film that thousands of hammers are marching. I've never heard anyone say the word is "jawohl," much less state that it can "clearly be heard" as such. This seems more like opinion than fact to me. In fact, when this part was added, the editor didn't even spell "jawohl" correctly, just furthering my belief that this guy has no idea what he's talking about. I think this part should be removed. Does anyone else feel the same way? Crazydiamond1to9 05:38, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

The correct word is very clearly "Worm". I have corrected this.

It doesnt sound a Thing like Worm! It sounds more like "Hammer" to me.--72.183.37.200 07:08, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Waters actually confirmed what was said in an interview with Tommy Vance just after The Wall was released. In the link between Run Like Hell the crowd is shouting "Pink Floyd" out of the left hand side and "Hammer" in the middle and to the right and at the end of Worms just "Hammer".NH79.121.143.143 (talk) 03:47, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] That edit

ok this is the only time I'm not doing my vandalism crap but anywho what does what is said in Back Against the Wall have to do with the song yes I know it's basically the same thing but still its a cover which means the info shouldn't be there besides has anyone confirmed what he says after the whole jew boys line

[edit] Personnel section

Over a gradual period of time people have been screwing around with the "Personnel" section of this article, to the point that David Gilmour somehow was removed from the list. Does anybody have a complete, concrete list of exactly who performed what on this song? I've noticed this has been a problem with a few other Floyd articles as well. --Gafaddict 15:35, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I've almost given up on this because so many people are guessing om this topic. The most complete list of this you'll find in the Pink Floyd Encyclopedia (3rd edition) by Vernon Fitch (which is listed as reference in this article) where the author use the imformation he got from David Gilmour, Bob Ezrin and James Guthrie when Fitch was working on the book "Comfortably Numb - A History of "The Wall". Pink Floyd 1978-1981. Roger Waters has also controlled information in this book. According to these two books Gilmour played bass guitar, guitars, synthesizer and sang lead and backing vocals, Mason played drums, Wright played organ, Ezrin played piano and sang backing vocals, Waters played synthesizer and sang lead and backing vocals (incluuding the "nazi rant") and Bruce Johnston, Toni Tennille, Joe Chemay, Jon Joyce, Stan Farber and Jim Haas sang backing vocals.
