Wait, these people are actually suing Billy because 1979 sounds just slightly similar to their song? Umm... Who is to say that Billy didn't happen to write a song IN Eb (like he has never done before :p ) that has a similar chord structure? What are the odds of that when you use the four chord pattern to go from the I chord to the IV chord in the verse? The chorus isn't even the same pattern anyway.
Mr Pumpkin, do the right thing. Pay Up and give credit where credit is due. Ammend your writing credits. Sadness comes from the emptiness one feels when robbing another artists work. The saddest human emotion is when we having that gnawing feeling that we are a fake, and it sullies the good work you have done.
First of all, the songs are *very* similar. Second of all, Jimmy is very good friends with Billy and he's just poking fun. So there is no need to be such fags about it.
@roejogan8 It was weird reading this comment because I love this song and my band are Heavily influenced by the frogs and we are called AnE. It reflects the tuning of my 2 string bass top string A bottom string E. Just a weird coincidence. 8)>
Who cares about these ripped off songs? Catch 'em and cash in. Coldplay just got blamed and if anyone stole my tune I'd want it to hit the media hard. Speaking of the media...Who cares? They cover turds coming out of behinds if it gets results...
It was a joke you dumb fuck.

Aside from the theft debate, Jimmy plays that beautifully live. Great song. I'd nick it... (but I wouldn't really Billy)
