The Smashing Pumpkins: 1979

Directed by Jonathan Dayton

Smashing Pumpkins performs in the music video "1979" from the album "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" recorded for Virgin Records. The music video opens with a group of children rolling another child in a large tire. Billy Corgan sings as he is driven in the backseat of a Dodge Charger. Clips of disaffected suburban teenage life play throughout.
