well, ladies and gentlemen..

just thought i'd let a friendly reminder go out that, assuming the title is the date of it's creation or maybe completion, 5.9.78 was made 32 years ago.

let's let it play for another 32 years.

yep hard to believe they were just 8 years old when they wrote this one. great song

I don't think so
For me it's hard to belive too

These guys being from the UK, this could very well refer to 9-5-78 for us Americans.

Yeah, I think this song is about a day in their life something special happened. Why would you name a song after the day you made it on?

And yes, I think it's about 5 September 1978, because of the English notation.

day month year. increasing denominations. anything else confuses and angers me.

Yes, they would definitely use this method. Point pretty much completely debunked?

5.9.78 is by far one of the greatest things BoC have ever recorded IMO.

5 September 1978 – Camp David Accords: Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat begin peace process at Camp David, Maryland.

Doesn't sound likely. Year before though, 5/9/77 was the launch of Voyager 1.
