Pink Floyd/ Another Brick/Toff or chav question

Post by jimslip »

I was recently listening to "Another Brick in The Wall" and noticed the childrens' chorus seemed to sound odd, ie they sing:

"We darnt need no hed-u-kishon, we darnt need no fork contraal"

If I didn't know better, they sound like young toffs masquerading as chavs, am I imagining this? I know that in the 50's actors like Larry Olivier merely place an "H" is front of every vowel to achieve the effect of "common working man".

I definitely got the impression that they were from a stage-school or the
like; distinct signs of elocution lessons there.....

signification...."

The studio did employ some real chavs - but one half didn't bother turning up and the other half tried to nick the recording equipment!
