in the recording is the second operator they tried the routine with, after the first operator's reaction was deemed unsatisfactory. Film version In the film, the scene with the attempted phone call, in which Pink learns his wife is cheating on him, occurs at the very beginning of the song "What Shall We Do Now", which is the extended version of "Empty Spaces", before the "Young Lust" song rather than at the end of the "Young Lust" song. The implications of the song are therefore slightly different. On the album, he is already unfaithful to his wife while on tour, making him a hypocrite when he is appalled at her own unfaithfulness. In the film, he is only seen with a groupie after he learns of his wife's affair, which shows the character in a more sympathetic light. In the film, several groupies (including a young Joanne Whalley, in her film debut) seduce security guards and roadies to get backstage passes, where one of them (Jenny Wright) ends up going with Pink (Bob Geldof) to his room. Personnel Pink Floyd David Gilmour – guitar, bass, lead vocals Nick Mason – drums, tambourine Roger Waters – backing vocals, bass (live performances) Richard Wright – Hammond organ, electric piano Extra musicians Chris Fitzmorris – male telephone voice Personnel per Vernon Fitch and Richard Mahon. Original phone call made by USA-FM (circa 1970s) Cover versions During Roger Waters' The Wall concert in Berlin on 21 July 1990, the song was performed by Canadian rock star Bryan Adams. This version reached #7 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and is still popular. It has been added to YouTube from Adams' official channel. Producer John Law covered the song with banjo and electronics. Luther Wright and the Wrongs covered the song as a reimagined loud, raucous rocker on Rebuild the Wall. The song was parodied on Bob Rivers’ Twisted Tunes collection as “I Want to Be a Woman”, dealing with the theme of gender transition. Further reading Fitch, Vernon.
