Proper Education

"Proper Education" is a remix by the Swedish DJ and producer Eric Prydz. The original song by Pink Floyd, "Another Brick in the Wall, Part II", was remixed to create this song; it has a much more emphasized 4/4 beat than the original song. It made it to number two on the UK Singles Chart in the United Kingdom and reached number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Airplay chart in the United States in 2007, making it the first remixed recording of an original song to reach the top spot on this chart. On 8 December 2007 the song also received a nomination for best remixed recording at the 2008 Grammy Awards.

Music video

The music video for this song includes teenagers (Daniel Ilabaca) escaping school while doing parkour stunts and other various actions, like jumping from building to building. They then sneak into a number of apartments and perform energy efficient tasks, such as replacing lightbulbs with their energy efficient equivalent, turning down thermostats, turning off televisions, putting bricks in toilets (to save water), etc. Finally, they tap into the apartment complex's power grid and power down the whole building, before re-lighting some of the apartments so that the words "SWITCH OFF" appear in lights on the side of the building. The video ends with the words "you don't need an education to save the planet".
