An overlooked cover tune CLXX

I'd never thought of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall (Pt. 2)" as a jazz-adaptable tune--until last night.  While driving around listening to WSIE last night, B.D. Lenz's instrumental take came on.  I was struck by how well a strong undercurrent of rock guitar works in that tune while a jazz saxophonist carries the melody.

Ordinarily, I don't like it when someone drives by with music blaring from their car--but I'd understand the impulse of drivers to crank this version up.
