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)
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)
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)
"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)
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)
The trivia section currently contains the following:
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)
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".

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

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)
The kids appear to sing in a funny accent or dialect (control pronounced as /kənˈtraʊl/ instead of /kənˈtrəʊl/); what exactly is this one called? -- 84.119.99.126 ( talk) 10:56, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
The single WAS categorically intended as a disco single. From "Inside Out" pp 248-249:
(The same section of the book implies that it was Ezra's idea.) Can someone more experienced than me add this to the article and add the citation please? Infojunkie23 ( talk) 15:41, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
190.78.133.42 has just taken disco out again. I'm going to revert that unless a comment appears here soonish (or is it one of the people discussing it here?) Infojunkie23 ( talk) 09:48, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Due to the press paying attention to this politically charged cover version and comments from Waters himself approving its use, I feel that this inforamtion is worth its own sub-segment under the Covers segment. Wowaconia ( talk) 08:40, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Can someone post the lyrics? Rusted AutoParts ( talk) 10:09, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
“ | It wasn't my idea to do disco music, it was Bob's. He said to me, 'Go to a couple of clubs and listen to what's happening with disco music,' so I forced myself out and listened to loud, four-to-the-bar bass drums and stuff and thought, Gawd, awful! Then we went back and tried to turn one of the [song's] parts into one to those so it would be catchy. | ” |
I feel Part 2 is hard rock, and it should be added in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.81.33.59 ( talk) 03:24, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
Pink Floyd had numerous singles between "Point Me at the sky" and "Another Brick (pt.2)." That may be the case in the UK, but "Money," for example, was a big hit in much of the world. But there were many more.

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.
"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.
The article currently states:
In addition, in the US, along with the tracks, "Run Like Hell", and "Don't Leave Me Now", "Another Brick in the Wall" reached number fifty-seven on the disco chart.
Do I have to point out the absurdity of "Don't Leave Me Now" being a disco number? Was it a B-Side for the single or something? Bizarre.

This is the place to explain the reasoning behind removing the link to The Wall's tracklisting, and to gain a community consensus to do so. Cheers, Muffled Pocketed 11:44, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
I rather think there are significant cover versions that we don't have listed here. Andy Mabbett?

Referring to the 1st section of the article, how on earth is "Don't Leave Me Now" supposed to have charted in the top 100 in the US Disco category? I don't care if it's in some book, there is absolutely no way that actually happened. O0drogue0o ( talk) 12:33, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
Told by David Gilmour:
"Freddie Mandell played Hammond on "In The Flesh, Parts 1 and 2", because Rick for some reason wouldn't get his elbow on the keyboards. Jeff Porcaro drummed on "Mother" because it wasn't working with Nick, and Jeff's father, Joe, played snare on "Bring The Boys Back Home". Lee Ritenour played one of the two high strums on "Comfortably Numb" and some rhythm guitar on "Is There Anybody Out There?".
