The semi-autobiographical "1941" first appeared on Harry Nilsson's Pandemonium Shadow Show and made a slightly modified reappearance on Aerial Pandemonium Ballet.

Tom Northcott had a minor hit with his cover of "1941". Others who recorded versions of the song include Alan Price and Billy J. Kramer.

"When I started '1941', I wanted to write a song revolving around a number. So I thought I'd write a song about a year. First I tried '1944'. It didn't work. Then I tried '1941'. Yes, it clicked! Originally, I had planned it to be a war song." -- Harry Nilsson

Film producer David Puttnam was impressed by the song "1941" and asked writer Ray Connolly to create a screenplay based on it. The film, That'll Be the Day, starred David Essex and Ringo Starr.

This song displays the light touch and masterful economy that were the hallmark of Nilsson at his best. No self indulgence here - just a perfectly crafted pop song telling a simple tale almost without comment.
