Songfacts®:

• "Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)" is the most famous song from Pink Floyd's concept album The Wall, with the chorus:
  
  We don't need no education
  We don't need no thought control
  
  Two songs earlier on the album, you'll find "Another Brick In The Wall (Part 1)," with the same melody but different lyrics:
  
  Daddy's flown across the ocean
  Leaving just a memory
  
  Later on the album, there's Part 3, which goes:
  
  I don't need no arms around me
  And I dont need no drugs to calm me
  
  These songs are all from the perspective of Pink, the album's protagonist, which in many ways represents the psyche of Pink Floyd's Roger Waters, who developed the concept.
• In this song, we learn that Pink's father died in World War II, as did Roger Waters' father. The 1968 Pink Floyd song "Corporal Clegg" is more specifically about Waters' dad.
• The Wall was much more than just an album. It was also an intricate stage show and a movie. The stage show ran for 30 performances from 1980-1981, with a giant wall erected between the band and audience that eventually crumbled down. During this time, there were many barriers in band - so much tension that they all kept separate trailers.
  
  The movie emerged in 1982, starring Bob Geldof as Pink and with animated sequences by Gerald Scarfe.
• "Another Brick In The Wall" made science news in 2023 when a team of neuroscientists played the song to 29 patients and were later able to decode bits of the music and lyrics from their brain waves. Among other findings, the study affirmed that the right side of the brain is more sensitive to music.
