Exclamation Pink Floyd Quote in "Weird Al" Yankovic Song
The song "Genius In France" from "Weird Al" Yankovic's latest album contains a quote from "Another Brick In The Wall (Part 1)," as well as quotes from several Frank Zappa songs. Has anybody here heard it?

7:50-8:13 of the Weird Al song sounds exactly the same (with a guitar solo added) as 2:40-3:09 of "Another Brick In The Wall (Part 1)." Listen again. Here's a mp3 of the quote.

Holy crap! Never noticed that... good ears! I like that album a lot, it's got some fantastic tunes on it. Weird Al is a secret pleasure of mine.

That song is spot-on Zappa! I had an increased respect for Weird Al after hearing that song.

He really is a master. I was very sad about hearing that both of his parents died though

Wow, only Weird Al himself could cover artists from Madonna to Coolio to Pink Floyd and still maintain some sort of street credit.

I saw him at the Air Canada Centre whilst "Touring with Scissors," it certainly was a memorable experience.
