phpBB [media][FFR: Time Zone's "World Destruction," starting at 1:16]phpBB [media][FFR: A Minor Forest's "Look at that car, it's full of balloons," starting at 5:00]I've been listening to this AMF song since the album came out and I recognized the connection to another song immediately but until today could not name that other song. So I've been trying to figure this out for sixteen years. Crossing that off my bucket list.

Exactly.The Bob: Did you have that song in mind when you wrote "Holocaust"?CHILTON: I don't know. I think that it was one of those instances of plagarism that you sort of are aware of somewhere in your mind, but not...I think that, at the time I was doing the tune, I didn't realize that I was copying it.
