Yeah with something like that it's hard to know what's real and what's rumor.

A song that shouldnt have been a single though was Untitled....that was not a very good song to go out with. There were so many better choices!

better song? it was the single because it was their last song.

Nobody really knows the reason why they chose 33 as the final single off the album. I've heard several valid reasons but nothing has been said officially.

it's because 33 is a fucking great song.

I think Untitled is a fantastic song and I haven't come across very many people who have disagreed with me. Also, it was the last recorded SP song, so that's why it was the last single.

33 was just a single that had a different style like all the others

Bullet - rock anthem
Tonight - upbeat song, traditional style
Zero - short heavy song, cyber rock as it was called
1979 - upbeat song, non-tradisional style (more proggressive)
muzzle - popy song
33 - quiet song

it just showed that tSP weren't always loud

at least, that's what i believe

I think Rocket should have been a single, and should have been on greatest hits. I got out SD the other day and was going to listen to specifically rocket, and then heard it on the radio before i could get the CD in. It had a MUSIC VIDEO >.<

I think that "Rocket" should've been on the Greatest Hits, too. Same with "To Shiela". I think it's amazing how the Pumpkins can pull off so many styles: heavy metal, pop, rock, quiet songs, etc. It's one of the reasons I love them so much.

I'm wondering what SP songs that people think could've been successful if released as singles. My pick is Quiet, because it's pretty radio-friendly (if not a little rough around the edges) and has a good intro that really grabs you. Another one is Muzzle, which was (rumor has it) supposed to be a single anyway before Jimmy got kicked out. I think it probably would've been a bigger hit than Thirty-Three.

Actually Muzzle was meant to be the first single off of MCIS but they chose Bullet... instead
Actually it was between Bullet and Jelly Belly (which Billy really liked) The president of Virgin Records convinced him it should be butterfly though. Billy talks about it in his 99x interview.

I've always thought that "Wound" would have been a great single. It's very radio friendly, in my opinion.

Wohow, Billy superchrist digging up the oldest threads I didn't even know about.
Ah, the old days featuring an active Murder, a grumpy Pistol Pete and BlueCzarnia everyday *sigh*

My suggestions:

- Spaceboy
- Plume
- Love
- Bodies
- Apples + Oranjes
- The Tale Of Dusty And Pistol Pete
- I Of The Mourning
- Wound
- Age Of Innocence
- Let Me Give The World To You
Last Edit: 6 months 2 days ago by DON.

Yeah, I'm trying to bring back some life to the ol' forum. ;) "Let Me Give the World to You" would have been a good single, for sure. I think Billy knew that, too. Also, although "Bodies" is one of my top five favorite Pumpkins songs, I don't think that the average listening audience would have liked it.
