LONDON, England (Reuters) -- A group of former London state school children who sang on Pink Floyd's 1979 classic "Another Brick In The Wall" have lodged a claim for unpaid royalties. (http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Music/11/26/pinkfloyd.wall.reut/index.html)

On hearing the song, the headmistress banned the pupils from appearing on television or video -- leaving them no evidence and making it harder for them to claim royalties -- and the local school authority described the lyrics as "scandalous."


What about the kids in the video? Were they paid?

Kind of ironic...they were basically asked to sing THE anthem of childhood suppression and in the process got taken advantage of by music industry.

Rowan said the money would come from a music royalties society and not Pink Floyd. He expected the 23 pupils to receive a couple of hundred pounds each.

Seems more than reasonable.

It can't be overstated the impact that album, and that song - and that chorus - had on kids hearing if for the first time when the record hit. There was this palpable "holy shit" everywhere.

It's "How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?" and you just overexplained the joke.

I liked Se7en's version better because he sounded like a pirate.
