Imagine it’s the early 80s and you’re at one of your high school assemblies, and over 1000 kids are in the gym singing “We don’t need no education…” That’s actually a memory for me…
I have a similar memory, but from 1993. Last day of my senior year, and the radio station they typically played over the intercom at lunchtime in the cafeteria (the classic rock station, almost universally agreed upon by everyone) played this for us. Of course everyone was singing along, including many of the teachers. Benton HS-Benton, AR.
saying "we don't need no eduction" mean "we need education" , isn't it ? there is a double-negation. am i wrong ? i'm not born english, but french, so when you have double not-no, it is a reverse sense.
@@androidmichaelremy3904That is true, but the uneducated English often use a double negative incorrectly........and this is rock / pop , music for the common people...... so a double negative makes sense when well written. lol
We picked for our Sr song, the programs came in with this printed in them as our song. They caught it in the office and punished us. Then we had to glue the pages of the programs together so no one at the graduation could see it. I wish I had kept one now. At the time I thought they pretty much proved that they were doing what the song was talking about.
The inside joke about the teacher chiding the kid's poetry, is that the poem is lyrics from one of Pink Floyd's more well-known hits "Money"... from an album that spent almost fifteen years on the best-selling album charts, longer than any other album from any genre
I was Class of '85. Our Homecoming song, our Senior Theme, and our Graduation theme song were all Another Brick in the The Wall Part 2 (We Don't Need No Education). With all our parents, the teachers, the administration, the Principal, and the School Board (one High School district) attending, we sang loud and proud, over and over, as we marched up for our diplomas.
Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 is my fav. I love the message - how we're all part of a pre-designed system, indoctrinated to conform like robots on a conveyor belt, from birth to death no part is wasted (at the end turned to mince) but sometimes you need to rebel against the system.
The brainwashing and thought control has come from the far left in Universities. They're the wokes who're now closing bank accounts and cancelling anyone who doesn't agree with their views. The schools of the past did not control minds or teach political dogma. I can testify to that. They just educated us without views. Pink Floyd were WRONG and now Waters is starting to reject some of his commie rebellion. It's glamorous when you're a teenager to rebel and be a communist. The reality which comes with life experience and age is a different matter. It's a terrible and evil ideology which takes people's freedom.
This song is part of a longer story. The album and film "The Wall" loosely tells the life story of the lead singer and bassist Roger Waters. Several Pink Floyd albums are intended to be listened to as 1 long experience, where each track flows into the next taking you on a journey.
No amigo, el protagonista es Cid Barret, la escena donde es encontrado sobre el sofá con el cigarrillo en mano consumido y el rapado completamente es un hecho que sucedio
@@astudillovillegas6603 Pinky is a composite character. Most of it is based on Roger, such as his relationship with his Mother and losing his Dad in the war. Even the school teacher criticising him for writing poetry is based on his own childhood.
My first year in highschool. Thousands of students in a big building. And this song came out. It made a deep impression on me and reflected how I felt at the time. Feeling a number and a bit lost. Trying to find your way in a new environment at the age of 12. The video I remember was a cartoon in black and white with a wall closing around a kid and teachers marching like hammers. How much impact can a song have on a life!! Masterpiece.
As a Canadian with 45+ years in the music biz in this country, I’m proud to say I’ve worked with the producer of this, Bob Ezrin, and in the same studio! (I worked with his boss, too, Jack Richardson!) Peace
Is the story true that Roger Waters was dead set against this song being released as a single, and that without Pink Floyd's knowledge, Ezrin edited the takes into a version long enough to be released as a single and arranged for the children singing the chorus?
Saw this show in the early 80s. They built a 60 ft wall on stage with styrofoam blocks and tore it down at the end. As the show progressed they would pop out of the wall for different songs, had giant puppets appear on top and projected scenes from the movie on the walls. There will never be another show like it
Played this in a college band back in the late 80’s. I remember looking out and seeing the audience on tables all singing. Awesome experience. The rhythm. Guitarist said some of the chord changes were very difficult. Superb solo too.
The album is a Rock Opera, it should be listened to the whole way through at least once. Definitely watch the movie. It is extremely complex. Very ahead of its time. The poem is the lyrics to one of their songs called money. They’re number one hit.
I remember this song well growing up and have always loved it. The message is so powerful! We need more protest singers in our time instead of soulless autotune songs which will be forgotten as soon as the next is popped out by a production team. LJ
The meat Grinder is symbolic. The School kills als individuality and made all children to a uniform mass (in thinking and behaviour) like minced meat where everything is grinded to a uniform mass without any individual difference.
You need to see the whole movie. Used to watch it as one of the rotations at the weekly midnight showings at the local theater. They'd turn the midnight shows up really loud because they knew the audience was typically pretty lit.
This song was banned in South Africa . This video is from the feature film of The Wall starring Bob Geldorf as Pink . The Wall is the ultimate concept album
On a side note, I remember this song being on the radio at like 8 years old and thinking the singer was mad because he couldn't bring his dog to school 😂 "No dogs are hazards in the classroom I has no clue what the hell "dark sarcasm" was, I was 8 😂
I believe you would enjoy watching and listening to them in their live 1994 Pulse concert, it's an awesome journey I'm sure you will be glad you took, God Bless
The 'Poem' that the kid (Pinky from the movie The Wall) wrote was the lyrics from the Pink Floyd song 'Money' from their 'Dark Side of the Moon' album which broke many records in the music industry.
Loved growing up in the 80s but school was shit. If you did anything wrong you got the belt, or leather strap across your knuckles. We used to have blackboards and I can remember many times where the teachers would launch the duster at a pupil, the duster was a chunk of wood with material on one side to clean off /dust the board and was rather painful when it bounced off your head. Fun times being physically abused by teachers and nothing anyone could do about it!
When this came out, I was 14. The first time hearing it I was in the pool hall, and someone played in on the jukebox. Within a couple of weeks we were singing it in the classroom at school. This is from the movie "The Wall", which I highly recommend, and not the official video. But that is a common misconception, so don't worry. The movie also includes other songs from different albums, and they tie them in together for one great film.
When this came out I was in my last year of school, late 78/9 we used it in drama class with a very modern minded teacher we came up with our own dance moves.
I remember when this was released in UK and the DJ who played it on Radio 1, stated it was going to hit number 1 in the charts. He was right, it was Christmas No1 in the UK, so the first of the 1980's.
First thing I must mention, You said this song is MONEY, 😂🥰 The poem the teacher reads out loud, are in fact lyrics for the song Money, #1, #2, I'm glad you realized that the visuals after the spoken pause, is his own maladaptive daydream, and #3 This clip is from the section of the movie, The Wall, If you decide to watch it, prepare yourself for being, confused, awestruck and obsessed, this album is phenomenal.
Pink Floyd's "The Wall" is not just three songs, it's an entire album that tells a rich story, and you should see the movie itself, and you'll understand better. It contains a multitude of songs, all of them good and very well known, such as "Comfortably Numb" among others. Go rent the movie!
I remember October of 1979. We had moved into a larger home that month. This was all over the television and radio in the UK. I was rocking out to this along with Brass in Pocket by the Pretenders.
A friend of mine who was at school in the 60s, just a tad before me - there's only a very few years between us - was consistent hit on his hands because he was left-handed. It took a while - and he was quite a beefy young lad - but eventually he stood up slowly, and very meaningfully, and said, "If you do that to me once more you WILL REGRET IT!" My friend played rugby. I don't think the teacher touched him again. To this day, my friend blames the problems he has with his hands to that teacher. The teacher character in Another Brick just reminded me of that.
They fed the kids too the meat grinder. Been a Pink Floyd fan since 1968. Seen four of their concerts, five performances. One was a Encore the following night. One of those concerts was the Wall concert just months after the album's release. It was the largest likely most expensive traveling musical production ever. Throughout the concert they built a wall between the audience and the stage nearly 150 ft long and 30 ft tall. It was torn down at the end. While the wall was being constructed we watched them on stage and parts from the yet to be released movie on the big round screen. Countless actors and people behind scenes. They also had nearly a hundred piece Orchestra equally sized mixed choir and the same size all boys choir as well. Three separate conductors keeping those separate groups in sync with those on stage. The lines of the poem the teacher reads to the classroom is off the song Money on Dark Side of the Moon. I do hope you're doing that movie start to finish. Be careful it may leave you feeling very disturbed toward the end. ✌️ 🤠🏞️🐂
Rock n Roll has ALWAYS been 'anti-establishment'. This song speaks to the education system, and how the system shapes and molds us all into the same kind of personality TYPE. Anybody and everybody who doesn't fit within it.. is expendable. All deviance's are punishable to death, unless it is exploitable. !! Why? Enslavement. They(the rich people printing money and making all the rules) need GOOD WORKERS.. the kind they can manipulate and control, and it's all done through your school years. School is CONDITIONING.. math subject is the literal BRAINWASHING of your mind.. the repetition lays linear tracks in your mind.. so you can follow their thought process.. they made you create them, in your heads. The schooling of our babies is a CRIME. Against Humanity.. because you gotta give it up, to become one with that society. You gotta give up your Spiritual Oneness with Mother Earth.. to become one with that violent, enslavement society. It's a horrifying process.. school. Unschool your child.. your children. Stop giving away RESPONSIBILITY of your children and their minds and hearts.. stop giving them to the system. Keep listening and Learning. Our old school musicians were trying to WARN US ALL.
I think things are a little bit more complicated. "You cannot live in society and be free from society"(q) and "human is the measure of everything" (q). We are the humans only in the humans society. Regarding to Mother Earth we are just more or less sucsessful animals. We need a sucsessful human society in which "the free development of each one is the requirement for the free development of all ones". So we have to bring the educational system to conciousness to give next generations a chance to deal with reality properly. And, in turn, this is not possible within the capitalist economy strictly formated for getting private profit from the hard underpayed labour of millions. So those millions will be able to improve their living only taking each other into account, but not acting as "unique snoflakes".
We need to nurture both the intellect and the spirit. Capitalism does indeed favour the type of education that will produce worker bees, but society needs a much wider spectrum of individuals. Maths is essential, because logic is essential for society as a whole to flourish. That is not to say we do not also need poets, philosophers, and free thinkers, but there has to be a balance, in all things.
In its most extreme form, I agree that our education systems have a tendency to suppress individuality, and serve to "condition" our thought processes.....but they don't prohibit individuality; rather, independent thinking is suppressed in a more subtle way, where the fruits of such thinking, are not afforded the recognition of their validity or value, based on the various parametric methods we use to define and rank approval and success. Thinking outside the regimented boundaries of the curriculum, regardless of how effectively it might reach a desired result, rarely sees that thinking be legitimized in the form of sholastic grading, or badges of success (gpa, sholarships, awards, class standing). Even more insidious in our society than is our education system is our entire system of media and advertising. It is an obscene, tax subsidized, system of psychological manipulation, used to "guide" social behavior and create an unbalanced, unhealthy, consumptive populace. It's hard to stomach that we actually finance the means by which we become a willing victim whose life blood is fully accessible to the parasitic creatures who feed upon a capitalistic society.....the owners of the means of production....our wealthy, corporate overseers. The way we subsidize our own manipulation , is similar to buying the guns and ammunition for the thief, then giving them the key to your home, to ensure their success in taking what they want from us.
The experience of 50s-60s private schools, being molded into establishment robots,being part of the corporate & governmental machine. This was the 80s school final break up song, as Alice Coopers schools out was to the 70s.
Hello *Dereck,* Indeed, the end of the 70s, as well as the 80s, are the crossroads of all current music. These are prosperous years of incredible experiences of what we could create with instruments. In terms of musical genres, we no longer knew where to turn; it was so abundant with the arrival of progressive, alternative rock, pop, reggae, punk, ska, disco, funk, rap, electropop, smooth jazz, etc., all mixed with influences from various countries or mixing the genres mentioned above; Brazilian rock and rhythms for *Santana,* here rock and disco-funk for *Pink Floyd,* etc. Blessed years for music lovers. Peace, folks. ☮😏
FYI: this is not the original video clip from 1979 (with audio from the single/radio edit). This is the version from the movie of 1982 (with Bob Geldof in the main role), where audio from the album version was used.
great review, a protest song about the impersomal treatment of children,churning them out all the same etc. the nice thing is that the childs poem was in fact the lyrics of anothe pink floyd song called money
Lucky enough to have been young when this came out. It was still “ok” for teachers to hit, pull hair, twist sideburns and drag us round the classroom, cane, humiliate and belittle kids. These days we call it assault and arrests would be made but back then it was everyday school life for many of us who weren’t always compliant. You daren’t go home and tell your parents because then they would think you had embarrassed them and they would give you the slipper or belt as well to keep you in line. Musically great times, but all was not well behind closed doors and this song captures it beautifully.
Imagine it’s the early 80s and you’re at one of your high school assemblies, and over 1000 kids are in the gym singing “We don’t need no education…” That’s actually a memory for me…

Did this give you chills? 😁 This is a big childhood memory for me. Hearing this song changed how I saw the world at 10 years old 🙌🙏💗
I first remember hearing this a couple years after it came out, and I was 10 also.
I was 13!
The inside joke about the teacher chiding the kid's poetry, is that the poem is lyrics from one of Pink Floyd's more well-known hits "Money"... from an album that spent almost fifteen years on the best-selling album charts, longer than any other album from any genre
Also funny that a little later Dereck says: This is money guys, this is money. Not meaning the song, but I liked the coincidence 😊
The poem was actually the lyrics to "Money".
I graduated High School in 1982. This song was very popular and was played at Parties and the Skating Rinks. This song was really an anthem.
I graduated that year too😂😂❤❤❤this played in every car in the parking lot daily, along with Alice Coopers Schools Out. ❤❤

Never has a song been more accurate and needed than now
Mate you hit the nail on the head ….. this song is before it time well said sir

with all our might, until each person is free from individual relationships of power, we must resist.
Exactly true 🤎

Legendary song with clever and complex lyrics
Masterpiece
¿ Complex lyrics ??? ... The education in Europe 50s ..60s .. I´m 65 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Pink Floyd - a rewarding ‘rabbit hole’ to pursue! This is from their superb album ‘The Wall’, a rock opera in itself 💖
Our class teacher invited us to the cinema at his expense, unforgettable!

it was 1990 if I'm not mistaken
@@marktirado4527I went to see them perform it at Earl’s Court, London, in 1980 and again in 1981. It was amazing.
This would probably be in the top 20 Pink Floyd songs.
Yeah, thats how good they are.
How, man, have you never heard this song ?!?!
The live version from the PULSE CONCERT is outstanding.
Played this in a college band back in the late 80’s. I remember looking out and seeing the audience on tables all singing. Awesome experience. The rhythm. Guitarist said some of the chord changes were very difficult. Superb solo too.
Pink Floyd… a class of it’s own. Period
I highly recommend listening to the full album, Derek!! "THE WALL" is a masterpiece! Also the movie, directed by Alan Parker!
my dad gt my into this groups ad when i heaard this song in the full movie album and the wall album i was hoked and now my spawn is now too lol
This video is from the movie. Not the original video.
The album is a Rock Opera, it should be listened to the whole way through at least once. Definitely watch the movie. It is extremely complex. Very ahead of its time. The poem is the lyrics to one of their songs called money. They’re number one hit.
Hav listen to Pink Floyd for 30 years now - never get tirred 🔥 the lyrics - the sound - the messeges 🔥
I can’t think of a more applicable song for 2023.
For viewers new to this video, it's a scene from the film Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982).
So ahead of it's time
powerful song
A big childhood memory of my school time...This was OUR song!
I remember this song well growing up and have always loved it. The message is so powerful! We need more protest singers in our time instead of soulless autotune songs which will be forgotten as soon as the next is popped out by a production team.

Ah! A little piece of rock! 😊 so good.
Two words ???: masterpiece and cult !
I was 11 or 12. My dad played it on the juke box eating pizza. That was the beginning of my pink floyd rabbit hole
Dereck if this stays up then well done! Great track and a wonderful reaction as always😊😊😊
Brilliant, accurate, not over-analyzed pure take on this great hit. Thanks, Dereck.
You need to see the whole movie.
Used to watch it as one of the rotations at the weekly midnight showings at the local theater. They'd turn the midnight shows up really loud because they knew the audience was typically pretty lit.
This is from the film The Wall not the official video as this was a cartoon 😊
Some of it was a cartoon (Gerald Scarfe hammers etc) but there were real children in it as well on a west London estate.
Yes, you have to hear the whole album.
This song was banned in South Africa . This video is from the feature film of The Wall starring Bob Geldorf as Pink . The Wall is the ultimate concept album
Great Reaction and remember Pink Floyd holds the record for having "Dark Side Of The Moon" in THe Billboard Charts for 736 weeks from 1973-1988 :)
the music video i remember was the cartoon version. It was much more chilling for me.
On a side note, I remember this song being on the radio at like 8 years old and thinking the singer was mad because he couldn't bring his dog to school 😂
"No dogs are hazards in the classroom
I has no clue what the hell "dark sarcasm" was, I was 8 😂
We had the best music back in the 70s 80s & 90s 🇬🇧
Simply a masterpiece.
YEAHHH MAN, THE CREATIVITY IS OFFFFF THE CHARTS, YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT! 😊
We crashed through the window at Nassau Coliseum to see this concert in 1980. It was epic. 😎
From a time when music videos was mini movies and as important as the music. The good old days. 😉 (I was 15 in 1980).
Real movie by the way
The whole moive is brilliant. Definitely a must see.
A metaphor for the education system churning out mindless, faceless numbers instead of individuals, allowed to be creative.
I believe you would enjoy watching and listening to them in their live 1994 Pulse concert, it's an awesome journey I'm sure you will be glad you took, God Bless
I known this song from when it first came out, it is one of the best tracks ever made IMO
Wish you was here next..😊😊😊😊😊
An absolute masterpiece
The 'Poem' that the kid (Pinky from the movie The Wall) wrote was the lyrics from the Pink Floyd song 'Money' from their 'Dark Side of the Moon' album which broke many records in the music industry.
10 years later, in 1989, the beautiful movie "Dead poets society" was like a story inspired by this iconic song ("Oh Captain, my Captain").
The Lyrics the Teacher read "The Poem" - hat was (from) "Money" another hit from Pink Floyd 🙂
If you do any live Pink Floyd you need footage from the Pulse tour. I forget the year, mid 90s.
Earl's Court, London 1994. In particular, "Comfortably Numb". The guitar "solo" is insane.
Loved growing up in the 80s but school was shit. If you did anything wrong you got the belt, or leather strap across your knuckles. We used to have blackboards and I can remember many times where the teachers would launch the duster at a pupil, the duster was a chunk of wood with material on one side to clean off /dust the board and was rather painful when it bounced off your head.

Pink Floyd's The Wall is a full movie... well worth checking out!
I'm Class of '80 and this was a big song when I was in high school ... We had 'attitude'

How did the teachers take it?
@@annother3350 LOL Some got a kick out of it and some were confused because they had not heard of it.
Pretty sure the film only had songs from "The Wall" on the soundtrack, but I agree with the recommedation.
@@keithewright Also had Comfortably Numb and others.
@@firedoc5 Comfortably Numb is off "The Wall" album. Next?
Wow this song is about spot-on as you can get with all the teachers trying to groom young children nowadays.., just wow
When this came out I was in my last year of school, late 78/9 we used it in drama class with a very modern minded teacher we came up with our own dance moves.
I remember when this was released in UK and the DJ who played it on Radio 1, stated it was going to hit number 1 in the charts. He was right, it was Christmas No1 in the UK, so the first of the 1980's.
I own this CD. When my daughter was 16 her and her friends found it. When I got home she was like "what the f was that". But it is amazing!
A milestone in modern music, no doubt!
Went to movies and saw this. This album made a statement of it's own back in the day. Dude go watch the whole movie!
Best song ever ! Best band ever ❤❤❤
First thing I must mention, You said this song is MONEY, 😂🥰 The poem the teacher reads out loud, are in fact lyrics for the song Money, #1, #2, I'm glad you realized that the visuals after the spoken pause, is his own maladaptive daydream, and #3 This clip is from the section of the movie, The Wall,

Now it's time to watch the live PULSE concert for this amazing song and so many other of PF hits. The light show is amazing as well.
Had to pause when you were like "money, money, money all the way.."
I was like... Go on.
A friend of mine who was at school in the 60s, just a tad before me - there's only a very few years between us - was consistent hit on his hands because he was left-handed. It took a while - and he was quite a beefy young lad - but eventually he stood up slowly, and very meaningfully, and said, "If you do that to me once more you WILL REGRET IT!" My friend played rugby. I don't think the teacher touched him again. To this day, my friend blames the problems he has with his hands to that teacher. The teacher character in Another Brick just reminded me of that.
"DARK SIDE OF THE MOON" ALBUM IS AWESOME, THEIR BEST WORK.🔥❤👍😍
I bought The Wall album when I was five years old in 1980.
First record i ever bought,still brilliant!!!
Comfortably Numb next
Hej have done it I think that was last year
@@eaj1966 ohh ok thanks didn't know that
They fed the kids too the meat grinder.
Been a Pink Floyd fan since 1968. Seen four of their concerts, five performances. One was a Encore the following night.
One of those concerts was the Wall concert just months after the album's release.
It was the largest likely most expensive traveling musical production ever. Throughout the concert they built a wall between the audience and the stage nearly 150 ft long and 30 ft tall. It was torn down at the end.
While the wall was being constructed we watched them on stage and parts from the yet to be released movie on the big round screen. Countless actors and people behind scenes. They also had nearly a hundred piece Orchestra equally sized mixed choir and the same size all boys choir as well. Three separate conductors keeping those separate groups in sync with those on stage.
The lines of the poem the teacher reads to the classroom is off the song Money on Dark Side of the Moon.
I do hope you're doing that movie start to finish. Be careful it may leave you feeling very disturbed toward the end.
✌️
🤠🏞️🐂
The poetry recited is actually lyrics from the song "Money" , from DSoM released several years earlier.
so important song nowadays if you look the school system... "hey teacher leave leave the kids alone"... is so important message now
I was a teenager when this came out it’s was the theme for the whole of Gen X

Anybody and everybody who doesn't fit within it.. is expendable. All deviance's are punishable to death, unless it is exploitable. !! Why? Enslavement. They(the rich people printing money and making all the rules) need GOOD WORKERS.. the kind they can manipulate and control, and it's all done through your school years. School is CONDITIONING.. math subject is the literal BRAINWASHING of your mind.. the repetition lays linear tracks in your mind.. so you can follow their thought process.. they made you create them, in your heads.
The schooling of our babies is a CRIME. Against Humanity.. because you gotta give it up, to become one with that society. You gotta give up your Spiritual Oneness with Mother Earth.. to become one with that violent, enslavement society. It's a horrifying process.. school. Unschool your child.. your children. Stop giving away RESPONSIBILITY of your children and their minds and hearts.. stop giving them to the system. Keep listening and Learning. Our old school musicians were trying to WARN US ALL.
I think things are a little bit more complicated. "You cannot live in society and be free from society"(q) and "human is the measure of everything" (q). We are the humans only in the humans society. Regarding to Mother Earth we are just more or less sucsessful animals. We need a sucsessful human society in which "the free development of each one is the requirement for the free development of all ones". So we have to bring the educational system to conciousness to give next generations a chance to deal with reality properly. And, in turn, this is not possible within the capitalist economy strictly formated for getting private profit from the hard underpayed labour of millions. So those millions will be able to improve their living only taking each other into account, but not acting as "unique snoflakes".
We need to nurture both the intellect and the spirit. Capitalism does indeed favour the type of education that will produce worker bees, but society needs a much wider spectrum of individuals. Maths is essential, because logic is essential for society as a whole to flourish. That is not to say we do not also need poets, philosophers, and free thinkers, but there has to be a balance, in all things.

In its most extreme form, I agree that our education systems have a tendency to suppress individuality, and serve to "condition" our thought processes.....but they don't prohibit individuality; rather, independent thinking is suppressed in a more subtle way, where the fruits of such thinking, are not afforded the recognition of their validity or value, based on the various parametric methods we use to define and rank approval and success. Thinking outside the regimented boundaries of the curriculum, regardless of how effectively it might reach a desired result, rarely sees that thinking be legitimized in the form of sholastic grading, or badges of success (gpa, sholarships, awards, class standing). Even more insidious in our society than is our education system is our entire system of media and advertising. It is an obscene, tax subsidized, system of psychological manipulation, used to "guide" social behavior and create an unbalanced, unhealthy, consumptive populace. It's hard to stomach that we actually finance the means by which we become a willing victim whose life blood is fully accessible to the parasitic creatures who feed upon a capitalistic society.....the owners of the means of production....our wealthy, corporate overseers. The way we subsidize our own manipulation , is similar to buying the guns and ammunition for the thief, then giving them the key to your home, to ensure their success in taking what they want from us.
he never heart this before? Thats impossible.... I have doubts...
The experience of 50s-60s private schools, being molded into establishment robots,being part of the corporate & governmental machine.
This was the 80s school final break up song, as Alice Coopers schools out was to the 70s.
Original audio is a little different. This is the movie-adapted version vs the album version.
Hello *Dereck,*
Indeed, the end of the 70s, as well as the 80s, are the crossroads of all current music. These are prosperous years of incredible experiences of what we could create with instruments.
In terms of musical genres, we no longer knew where to turn; it was so abundant with the arrival of progressive, alternative rock, pop, reggae, punk, ska, disco, funk, rap, electropop, smooth jazz, etc., all mixed with influences from various countries or mixing the genres mentioned above; Brazilian rock and rhythms for *Santana,* here rock and disco-funk for *Pink Floyd,* etc. Blessed years for music lovers.
Peace, folks. ☮😏
One stands, we all stand.
FYI: this is not the original video clip from 1979 (with audio from the single/radio edit). This is the version from the movie of 1982 (with Bob Geldof in the main role), where audio from the album version was used.
FYYYYYRRRRRRRR!!! LMAO 😊 THE TEACHER WAS QUOTING A COUPLE LINES FROM ( MONEY ) IF YOU NOTICED DERECK 😊
Pulse concert version is a must
It's funny that you said money so many times , the poetry read out in class are lyrics from "money" off dark side of the moon , good reaction
great review, a protest song about the impersomal treatment of children,churning them out all the same etc. the nice thing is that the childs poem was in fact the lyrics of anothe pink floyd song called money
Lucky enough to have been young when this came out. It was still “ok” for teachers to hit, pull hair, twist sideburns and drag us round the classroom, cane, humiliate and belittle kids. These days we call it assault and arrests would be made but back then it was everyday school life for many of us who weren’t always compliant. You daren’t go home and tell your parents because then they would think you had embarrassed them and they would give you the slipper or belt as well to keep you in line. Musically great times, but all was not well behind closed doors and this song captures it beautifully.
Remember this with fondness, still have the album. I must dig it out and give it a spin. (just subscribed to your channel)
The poem are lyrics from their song Money.
