Another Brick in the Wall#Korn version

The three parts of "Another Brick in the Wall" appear on Pink Floyd's 1979 rock opera album The Wall. They are essentially one verse each, although Part 2 sees its own verse sung twice: once by Floyd members, and the second time by the guest choir along with Waters and Gilmour. During "Part 1", the protagonist, Pink, begins building a metaphorical wall around himself following the death of his father. In "Part 2", traumas involving his overprotective mother and abusive schoolteachers become bricks in the wall. Following a violent breakdown in "Part 3", Pink dismisses everyone he knows as "just bricks in the wall."{{Citation|title=Rock Milestones: Pink Floyd – The Wall|url=https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/383755/Rock-Milestones-Pink-Floyd-The-Wall/overview|department=Movies & TV Dept.|work=The New York Times|access-date=30 May 2010}}; {{Citation|title=Pink Floyd's Roger Waters Announces The Wall Tour|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1635892/20100412/pink_floyd.jhtml|publisher=MTV|access-date=30 May 2010|archive-date=25 April 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100425224021/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1635892/20100412/pink_floyd.jhtml|url-status=dead}}; {{Citation|title=Top 14 Greatest Rock Operas/Concept Albums Of All Time|url=http://music.ign.com/articles/706/706219p4.html|publisher=ign.com|access-date=30 May 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110309184426/http://music.ign.com/articles/706/706219p4.html|archive-date=9 March 2011|url-status=dead}}{{Harvnb|Schaffner|1991|pp=210–211}}

Bassist Roger Waters wrote "Part 2" as a protest against rigid schooling, particularly boarding schools. "Another Brick in the Wall" appears in the film based on the album. In the "Part 2" sequence, children enter a school and march in unison through a meat grinder, becoming "putty-faced" clones, before rioting and burning down the school.{{Cite web|url=https://consequenceofsound.net/2008/07/rock-history-101-another-brick-in-the-wall-part-ii/|title=Rock History 101: Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall, Part II"|date=30 July 2008|website=Consequence of Sound|language=en|access-date=13 December 2018}}

At the suggestion of the producer Bob Ezrin, Pink Floyd added elements of disco, which was popular at the time. According to the guitarist, David Gilmour:

{{Blockquote|[Ezrin] 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 parts into one of those so it would be catchy.{{Cite journal|date=October 2009|title="Good Bye Blue Sky", (Pink Floyd: 30th Anniversary, The Wall Revisited.)|url=http://www.guitarworld.com/article/pink_floyd_goodbye_blue_sky?page=0%2C3|url-status=dead|journal=Guitar World|publisher=Future|volume=30|issue=10|pages=79–80|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110513090114/http://www.guitarworld.com/article/pink_floyd_goodbye_blue_sky?page=0%2C3|archive-date=13 May 2011|editor=Simmons, Sylvie|df=dmy-all}}}}

Gilmour recorded his guitar solo using a 1955 Gibson Les Paul Gold Top guitar with P-90 pickups.{{sfn|Fitch|Mahon|2006|pp=75–76; see also "The David Gilmour Guitar Collection", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E6mIYNO3So at 3:30}} The American session guitarist Lee Ritenour said in a 2024 interview that Ezrin had him record some ideas for the solo, as Pink Floyd could not decide how to end it. Though his parts were not used, he said he detected his influence in the last bars of Gilmour's solo.{{Cite web |last=Reijman |first=Alison |date=2024-11-23 |title='Pink Floyd said they weren't sure how to get out of the 'Another Brick in the Wall' solo – would I like to try?'

Despite his reservations about the disco element, Gilmour felt the final song sounded like Pink Floyd. When Ezrin heard the song with a disco beat, he was convinced it could become a hit, but felt it needed to be longer, with two verses and two choruses. The band resisted, saying they did not release singles; Waters told him: "Go ahead and waste your time doing silly stuff."{{sfn|Fielder|2013|p=135}}

While the band members were away, Ezrin edited the takes into an extended version. He also had the engineer Nick Griffiths record children singing the verse at Islington Green School, close to Pink Floyd's studio.{{sfn|Fielder|2013|p=135}} Griffiths was instructed to record only two or three children. Inspired by a Todd Rundgren album featuring an audience in each stereo channel, he suggested recording a school choir. The school allotted only 40 minutes for the recording.{{Cite book|last=Mason|first=Nick|title=Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd|publisher=Chronicle|year=2005|isbn=978-0-8118-4824-4|pages=343–344|author-link=Nick Mason}}

Alun Renshaw, the head of music at the school, was enthusiastic, and said later: "I wanted to make music relevant to the kids – not just sitting around listening to Tchaikovsky. I thought the lyrics were great – 'We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control' ... I just thought it would be a wonderful experience for the kids."{{Harvnb|Blake|2008|p=273}} The children's choir in the recording featured 23 students, who practised for about a week to prepare.{{Cite web |date=30 December 2004 |title=Kick against the bricks |url=https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/kick-against-the-bricks-20041230-gdkeem.html |access-date=7 August 2023 |website=The Sydney Morning Herald |language=en}} Renshaw hid the lyrics from the headteacher, Margaret Maden, fearing she might stop the recording.{{Cite web|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/news/pink-floyd-pupils-sue-for-royalties-7257969.html|title=Pink Floyd pupils sue for royalties|date=26 November 2004|website=Evening Standard|language=en|access-date=12 December 2018}} Maden said: "I was only told about it after the event, which didn't please me. But on balance it was part of a very rich musical education."

Renshaw and the children spent a week practising before he took them to a recording studio near the school.{{Cite web|url=https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/kick-against-the-bricks-20041230-gdkeem.html|title=Kick against the bricks|date=30 December 2004|website=The Sydney Morning Herald|language=en|access-date=13 December 2018}} According to Ezrin, when he played the children's vocals to Waters, "There was a total softening of his face, and you just knew that he knew it was going to be an important record." Waters said: "It was great—exactly the thing I expected from a collaborator."

The children of Islington School received tickets to a Pink Floyd concert, an album and a single.{{Cite news|date=2 October 2007|title=Just another brick in the wall?|language=en-GB|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7021797.stm|access-date=12 December 2018}} Though the school received a payment of £1,000, there was no arrangement for royalties for the children.{{Cite news|date=13 March 2012|title=Payout after Pink Floyd leaves them kids alone|url=https://www.thetimes.com/sunday-times-rich-list/profile/article/payout-after-pink-floyd-leaves-them-kids-alone-3t5rlwxm7k8|access-date=14 September 2012|website=The Times}} Following a change to UK copyright law in 1996, they became eligible for royalties from broadcasts. After the royalties agent Peter Rowan traced the choir members through the social network service Friends Reunited and other means, they successfully lodged a claim for royalties with the Performing Artists' Media Rights Association in 2004.

The lyrics attracted controversy. The Inner London Education Authority described the song as "scandalous", and according to Renshaw, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher "hated it". Renshaw said, "There was a political knee-jerk reaction to a song that had nothing to do with the education system. It was [Waters'] reflections on his life and how his schooling was part of that." The single, as well as the album The Wall, were banned in South Africa in 1980 after it was adopted by supporters of a nationwide school boycott protesting instituted racial inequities in education under apartheid.{{Cite web|url=http://www.dprp.net/proghistory/index.php?i=1979_012|title=Counting out time Pink Floyd the wall – song was banned in South Africa in 1980|date=30 November 1979|publisher=Dprp.net|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606150608/http://www.dprp.net/proghistory/index.php?i=1979_012|archive-date=6 June 2011|url-status=live|access-date=11 May 2011}}(UPI) "South Africa Bans Floyd's 'The Wall'" The New York Times 15 July 1980: C6

A live version of "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" with Cyndi Lauper on vocals, recorded on 21 July 1990 at Potsdamer Platz, was released as a single on 10 September 1990 to promote The Wall – Live in Berlin. The B-side was the live version of "Run Like Hell" performed with Scorpions at the same concert.

In promotion of The Wall – Live in Berlin a new studio version was recorded by Roger Waters & The Bleeding Heart Band that was released on promo compilation titled The Wall Berlin '90 featuring Pink Floyd and Roger Waters solo recordings.

Another live version appeared on Waters' album In the Flesh – Live, integrated between "The Happiest Days of Our Lives" and "Mother" as on the original album, but with a reprise of the first verse ending the song.

For later shows, Waters usually employed local school choirs to perform the song with him (as can be seen on Roger Waters: The Wall). From 2011 to 2013, Waters added an acoustic coda called "The Ballad of Jean Charles de Menezes".{{Cite web|date=13 February 2013|first=Jeff|last=Giles|title=Roger Waters Adds New Song to 'The Wall'|url=https://ultimateclassicrock.com/roger-waters-the-wall-new-song/|access-date=30 May 2021|website=Ultimate Classic Rock|language=en}}
