the chorus of cherub rock is similiar to "ooh la la la" by cheap trick. But that was explained in the pumpkins full circle documentary.

DUDE! It is NOT an COVEEEERRRR!
I thought everyone had 1.8.97. bootleg at home.
It is 100% SP/ Billy song that he wrote when he was 12 years old!

If Billy genuinely wrote that when he was 12 year olds then I'm a massive gay.

that's the joke. He was 12 years old in 1979.

So you're not massively gay.

It wasnt a cover, but he does use a lot of material from other bands songs. He usually applies the "theres only so many notes and so many different ways to play t**** routine to many of his songs. BWBW was a good example with this, also I AM ONE.

actually, for not understanding the joke, he is substantially gay after all.

I Am One, Fuck You, and the bassline to Ava Adore are the same notes, yet the songs sound totally different. So I agree with Billy on the fact that there are only "so many notes".

Billy said that 1979 was heavily influenced by New Order.

you can tell by the bassline...

Why so much hate for Dominion? all he did was ask a question, perhaps I'm just not used to the humour around here being a newbie and everything...

and the Joy Division-y hit "1979"
That doesn't mean "cover." That means some of it sounds like Joy Division.

Actually... He was 11 in 1979.
So that would mean that the song or its roots (I belive Billy probably ment he had the lyrics or the riff, but who knows? He is Billy, maybe he did have entire song!?), was written in 1980.

i want all these newbies to leave. in fact i really think it'd be worth considering to shut down the sp-board. everytime i come over here, there's pretty much only a few newbies/trolls asking the most stupid questions one could imagine.

jesus christ, don't you people watch or read interviews? the story with the song is that billy had this demo going, and flood hated it. it was the very last song to be written/recorded for the album, and flood said no way, it was too late. but he gave billy one day to come back with a finished version of the song. that nite, billy wrote the lyrics and melody and came back with more or less what we know of 1979. it's not a fucking cover. IT'S NOT A FUCKING COVER.

it is a cover of the earth wind and fire song, celebrate. billy just changed the title, lyrics and music. but it is essentially the same thing.

People, stop saying he wrote the song when he was 12. He got his first guitar when he was 14. Do some researh man :rolleyes: (although, if that was supposed to be a joke... it's pretty lame).

And stop flaming people for asking a fucking question!

Why has no one mentioned yet that 1979 was pinned as a "What's Going On?" by Husker Du ripoff?
