The video does depict 1979 in an accurate way, but when I saw the lead singer, looking like Sinead O'Connor with a dick, I laughed.

Billy’s a good guy. I really hate what D’arcy did to herself, she was a beautiful girl when the Pumpkins started out.

The beat to this song is just awesome.

Smashing Pumpkins were a brilliant band back in the 1990s. From "Gish" (1991) to "Adore" (1998), they could do no wrong.

I have no idea what happened to them after that but they just pretty much disappeared from the scene.

"Siamese Dream" album was their high point.

Great song from the 70s.

Thanks for posting the video.

My teen boys LOVED this band, so I know all of their songs. My faves are ‘Bullet with Butterfly Wings’ and ‘Perfect.’

I just read the lyrics. Other than the nostalgic video, the song is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo lyrics thrown together to sound like a poem. It is not very similar to my 1979.

One thing might be inaccurate in the video: At the store, the cup reads, “Say NO to drugs,” but didn’t Nancy Reagan coin that slogan in the 80’s?

I’m old. Heard of them. Briefly watched the Youtube video. Just looked like a distant step back on the path to contemporary cultural dysfunction.
