Oops according to Nancy, it is a cover. Sorry MarcO:

"Halley's Comet" (5:48) - Recorded September 1985, Goddard College, a few days after the previous session. This song was written as a reaction to the Motown revival in the wake of "The Big Chill" along with the impending passage of said comet through our solar system & the hype thereof. Was originally two songs: "Halley's Comet" had no lyrics other than "Halley's Comet" & was conceived as a parody of Brian Eno (the "Another Green World/Before & After Science" phase); the rest of the song was a satire of Motown called "Goin' Down", which I wrote after getting stoned & listening to "The Blue Mask" by Lou Reed. What's the connection? Fuck if I know. A month after I recorded this song, I met Trey Anastasio who asked me if Phish could cover it. I gave my consent & they debuted the song onstage at Goddard Springfest '86...they got the chords wrong.
