Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2



Another Brick in the Wall is by far one of the best songs Pink Floyd ever did. Done in three parts, the second part is the most well-known due to its rebellious lyrics and funky instrumentation. The fact that The Wall itself is so iconic furthers its status as a classic rock song, and even more so due to the success of the film.

Success

 * The song was a chart-topper, Pink Floyd's only number one and one of only two hits alongside Money.
 * The song went platinum

Trivia

 * The children heard in the song were from Ilsington Green School. They were paid 1,000 pounds.
 * The line "If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!" refers to the use of corporal punishment in British schools at the time.
 * Part two is not the space rock style Pink Floyd eventually became famous for. Part one has that style.
