It's use in this tune is a good application of verbal irony, sort of like Carly Simon's lyrics to "You're So Vain". It was certainly lost on much of the chatterati and Press commentators at the time. I remember when it came out, and stayed at No. 1 for many weeks, and all the pundits were banging on about the double negative and completely missing the whole feckin' point of the song. Hardly surprising. As it happens, the double negative is very common in European languages, such as French ("je ne sais pas") and Italian ("non so nulla") to my knowledge. [ Reply ]

It has come to pass -- this, played just after ST's School! --------------- Posted: May 03, 2006 - 08:54 Now this brings back chills... and if we could just cue up Days of Our Lives from The Wall... YOU! YES, YOU! STAND STILL, LADDIE! STAND STILL! Ya can't have any pudding if ya don't eat yer meat! How can ya have any pudding if ya don't eat yer meat? --You're comin' along! [ Reply ]

It is probably lost on most people, but the double negative is a very clever way of contradicting the phrase that "we don't need no education"; showing that you actually do need education. Saw The Wall 2 weeks ago in Orlando. Second time seeing the show in 2 years. Words cannot describe how incredible it was. ....saw both in 2 years in Ft. Laud!!! ....amazing! Tried to get a fellow Floyd fan to go BOTH times, but he couldnt do it if Gilmour wasn't there?!! TOTALLY his loss....It's like saying you wouldn't see Paul McCartney....."If you can't be with the one you love,......" [ Reply ]

As one does when young. I was between jobs and it sounded like fun so off we went. After an adventurously drunk time in Paris we drove to Mulhouse to visit his parents. We listened to the entire album followed by the "Final Cut". The car was completely silent during the whole thing and the following day we visited a WWII cemetery. My head was still full of Waters' scalpel lyrics, the result was one the few genuinely heart rending moments of my life; all those graves and all that horror. Thinking about it still brings a lump to my throat. On the same trip, I also had a religious experience while gazing at a stained glass window in Norte Dame, however I suspect that has more to do with the spectacular hangover, hairy dog and many double espressos than any kind of true spiritual awakening. Fear and Loathing in Alsace Lorraine. Thanks for the sharing the visual. Interesting read. Nice post. [ Reply ]

Ahnyer_Keester Nov 29, 2012 - 18:38	The tragic thing is that this really is a very good album, but the classic rock stations grind it into the ground. I you avoid it like the plague for a few years and then let yourself listen again, it is much better. I had to do that with Led Zepplin for a bout 14 years. Stupid radio. [ Reply ]
ziakut Oct 29, 2012 - 10:27	Though I'm sick of this tune and much of this album...it's still stellar and have a soft spot for the way they pushed thru the crap of 1979 with this song! [ Reply ]
