ok well here is an observation. it was most likely named for the 5/4 time part.. william knew it was in 5/4..hence he called it 54. simple eh? being the drummer and all he would be the one most on top of the time signature thing..... i just wrote this song called "easy listenin' #1 smash" yeh.

I heard it straight from William's mouth: "5/4" was supposed to be "54." No allusions to time signatures or any notorious political events. It was intended to be just as random as "7," "8," "47," "48," you get the idea. I swear to God, that's what he said. I tend to believe him. If it was supposed to be a reference to the time signature, the guys probably would have called it "5/4 With a 3/4 Chorus," because they're pretty into the technical aspects of their music. I promise it was supposed to be "54" with no strings attached. I like that I could've easily said that it one sentence. Everyone still loves me though, right? -Steevi-
