Daily Song Discussion Where does sexual revolution come from

I was listening to the wall demo and sexual revolution sounds more like corporal clegg rather than the final version with eric clapton. I just might be dumb but I'm really intrigued of where this song comes from

Wasn't it essentially replaced with "Young Lust"?

I don't really think so. The demo I was listening too had a demo for young lust that was really different in lyrics and instrumentation to the one on the actual record, which makes me think there was a place for both of them. I read that sexual revolution was scrapped because they thought the lyrics felt shallow, but whatever I really don't know anything

I always assumed it was because they were too similar thematically so they chose to use just one for the record. Especially since space was such an issue when they were first recording
