Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques

	BrainStewed THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT. It makes me think of their actions as if they are savage animals. Sort of like it's all a big jungle and everyone's just wild and carnivorous.

No Picture Gary Wanna Be	#2 by Gary Rossington at Nov 4, 2006 at 4:46 PM EST
	I remember someone asking me if I knew the song "Another Brick in the Wall" by Pink Floyd, I couldn't help but say yes and starts with "You.. Yes You!... stand still laddy" which is the teacher's voice at the start of this song. The person asking me just looked at me like I had no idea what I was talking about. I had to explain how the two songs were related, almost one and the same. Somehow, I managed to look stupid even though I knew what I was talking about.... my life story. :(

No Picture †§ean† Average	#3 by †§ean† at Feb 23, 2007 at 5:28 AM EST
	i love the end right before it turns into another brick in the wall pt. 2.........i love the way Waters does the lyrics

No Picture Mike Lead Player	#4 by Mike at Feb 28, 2007 at 1:10 PM EST
	The title of this song is such a great example of irony. Adults always tell children that their youth contains the happiest days of their lives, but in Pink's world, there is no such happiness with the presence of his sadistic teachers. Also, I've heard that Roger Waters was always intrigued by the concept of cycles in life. I believe that the lyrics about the teachers' wives thrashing them is an example of a cycle within The Wall. The wives thrash the teachers, the teachers thrash Pink, Pink later thrashes his audience...

No Picture Steil Wanna Be	#5 by Steil Lionhart at Apr 27, 2007 at 4:08 PM EST
	Thank you! I thought I was the ONLY one who thought the end sounded like lion king. Good to know I'm not alone =)

No Picture FrEAk!!! Wanna Be	#6 by FrEAk!!! Matis at May 25, 2007 at 3:12 AM EST
	Yeah I agree completely with words&tricks and Brainstewed it is sort of a jungleish tune, but nontheless sadly it's probably the only reason I really like this song. Also, to me, the title of this song seems sarcastic pertaining to the lyrics.
