"1979" was the last song written for MCIS and was almost dropped. Flood gave Corgan a day to finish it or it was off the album. Corgan finished it in just 4 hours. The next day, Flood heard it once and decided to include it. Everything except the vocals are from the same 12 hours | |||
"1979" has a sample of Corgan's voice repeated throughout. He was singing "today" as the melody line, so he and Flood recorded him singing to a tape and electronically manipulated samples and looped them against a drumbeat. This is the 'ooh-ahh' sound you hear at every verse. | |||
The song was written and recorded using a 1960s-era Kimberly Bison guitar that Corgan bought for $60 at a pawn shop. Nicknamed "Kimberly Kay", this is the same 'secret weapon' guitar that was used on "Mayonaise" and "Panopticon". | |||
