I finally caught the video for Eric Prydz’s version of Another Brick In The Wall on TMF this evening. Was never a big fan of the original song, but this remix injects some energy into it.

Proper Education is a bit shorter than I remember Another Brick In The Wall being, but it weaves in the original Pink Floyd vocal along with (I think) the original bassline and guitar tracks. Not normally my thing, but this update may actually be better than the original!

The video for the single is pretty cool, featuring lots of kids doing bike tricks and parkour. It gets a bit weird when they start replacing light bulbs and putting bricks in people’s fridges, but apparently there’s an environmental message in the ‘Proper Education’ video and they’re sharing conservation tips:

The bricks are used to reduce energy consumption in the freezer by reducing the amount of free air inside. The brick in the toilet is used to reduce the amount of water used each time the toilet is flushed.

Both of these are great examples small things that individual households can do to conserve resources and reduce by using less. (YouTube)
