Is just as great when you are sober as long as you are by yourself and have it turned up really really loud and are in a horrible mood.


I want to be an emo kid

I used to watch The Wall about once every other day. But I was like 15 at the time and this would have been during the mid 80's.

I still like the album but I've moved on since then. You're not going to go all Angry Hippo on us and eat an entire family sized tube of Colgate before typing "OMG TEH PINK FLOYD IS THE BESTEST MUZIK EVEH!!!!" -- are you? Smiley: dubious

By the way, 'lest I becoe too uppity, I just read my post and cracked a chuckle at the the juxtaposition of me saying "I've moved on since the 80's" and my Tennesee Tuxedo avatar.

I'm such a hypocrite. Smiley: laugh

The Wall is one of those albums that I will probably never ever have to listen to again, not out is disdain, but because I can pretty much play it in it's entirety in my head at will.

Gonna fly high, you're never gonna die
You're gonna make it if you try -- they're gonna love you.
Well, I've always had a deep respect and I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.
Oh by the way... which one's "Pink"?

I watched the movie and realized that I'm still not emo enough to truly comprehend it.

Smiley: frown

It's still a great movie. I have it on DVD along with Tommy. Good times, ah, good times.

Trivia for those who think they know the movie well; What is the first song played in Pink Floyed the Wall the movie?


Hint: It't not on the album.

Don't remember the name of the song. But something about a group of British soldiers being sacrificed for the "greater good" in war. Something about a "few hundred lives". The impression is that Pink's father was one of those few hundred lives wasted in war. But then, it's been awhile and the films a bit foggy in my brain.

Nope. Before that.


Hint2: It plays during the opening hallway scene before the maid turns on the vaccuum.

The answer is : "The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot," by Vera Lynn

Here is a site I found to give you a little more detail.

Quote:
I'd like to address the non-Floyd song vaguely heard in the background of the movie's opening section. It's called "The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot," by Vera Lynn (see "Vera" later in this analysis). The lyrics are as follows: "Christmas comes but once a year for every girl and boy/ The laughter and the joy/ They find in each new toy./ I tell you of the little boy who lives across the way/ This fella's Christmas is just another day..." At this point, the vacuum cleaner whirs into electric life and "When the Tigers Broke Free, Part 1" begins. After the song ends and we get that wonderful close-up of the Mickey Mouse watch, Vera's song continues with : "He's the little boy that Santa Claus forgot/ And goodness knows, he didn't want a lot./ He sent a note to Santa, what he wanted was a drum/ This broken little heart when he woke and he hadn't come/ In the streets, yes he..." Once again, the vacuum drowns out the song.
