show us the money!



former schoolchildren seek royalties for singing the chorus of pink floyd's "the wall".

you know the chorus:

we don't need no education /
we don't need no thought control /
no dark sarcasm in the classroom /
teachers leave them kids alone

the children recorded the chorus in secret with the help of their music teacher... but without permission of the school headmistress. once the headmistress heard the recording, she banned the pupils from appearing on television or video, making their involvement more difficult to prove. the school authority at the time called the track "scandalous."
