THE
HAPPIEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Concept:
Another brick in Pink's wall were his school days. Specifically, this song
is a criticism of certain teachers who instruct schoolchildren to do as
they are told, while never encouraging them to discover their individual
interests. Roger Waters indicated that the storyline came from his own experience
where he and his school friends had a running joke that the teacher took
his abuse out on the students because his wife must be treating him worse. Comment:
0:03 - Helicopter sound (replaced by an oncoming
train) 0:24 - "You! Yes, you! Stand still laddy!"
1:01 - OOF! (someone being hit).
