Pink Floyd The Happiest Days of Our Lives

Throughout the most of the song, the lead instrument is the electric guitar with an added delay effect and during the bridge to "Another Brick in the Wall, Part II", there are intense drums and backing vocals. Due to the smooth transition from this song to "Another Brick in the Wall Part II", it might give the listener the impression that this song is part of "Another Brick".
On the album, "The Happiest Days of Our Lives" segues into "Another Brick in the Wall, Part II" with a loud, high-pitched scream by Roger Waters (this sound is later reprised on Run Like Hell). Because of this segue, many radio stations play one right after the other.[citation needed]
In the film based on the album, the sound at the beginning of the song is depicted as coming from a train entering a large tunnel, rather than a helicopter heard on the album. According to Gerald Scarfe, there was supposed to be a puppet of the teacher at the end of the tunnel in the film. Alan Parker made shots of it, but it didn't work out, so they used Alex McAvoy, who played the schoolteacher, to do the scene instead. Before the cut in the middle for the Schoolmaster to mock Pink, somewhat quiet hysterical laughter is heard, extremely similar to the Schoolmaster's voice.
Lyrics :
When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children any way they could
By pouring their derision
Upon anything we did
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
But in the town it was well known
When they got home at night, their fat,
Psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives

It makes me sad that the scream at the end isn't there :(
Anyway, those drums are completely awesome. I can almost feel them...
