During this song (studio version), I always wondered what that voice was saying in background between main lyrics. I thought it said, "tweaking". I met him in Seattle many years ago and asked. He says, "12 again". He was 12 in 1979. Mind blown.
"The most frequently asked question about '1979' is, 'What is the 'ooh-ahh-ahh' sound at the end of every phrase?' Flood and I were tracking the song, and I started humming the 'oohs' like a melody line. I sang them to tape, we sampled the pertinent ones, electronically manipulated them, and looped them against the drum beat. One of my favorite songs from the album." -BC (Guitar World 1/97) There's also a little info on the "1979" page on Wikipedia.
