"'''Overjoyed'''" is a song by [[The Smashing Pumpkins]] that was recorded during the [[March-April 2014 – Pumpkinland II]] sessions and likely intended for ''[[Day For Night]]'', which was the abandoned sister-album to ''[[Monuments to an Elegy]]''. Ultimately it was never officially released along with many other songs from those sessions. This is despite the endorsement from producer [[Howard Willing]], which [[Billy Corgan]] said "you know what that means hand-waving fans".<ref>Billy Corgan, SP Nexus, April 4, 2014</ref> | "'''Overjoyed'''" is a song by [[The Smashing Pumpkins]] that was recorded during the [[March-April 2014 – Pumpkinland II]] sessions and likely intended for ''[[Day For Night]]'', which was the abandoned sister-album to ''[[Monuments to an Elegy]]''.

{{cquote|The once COUGARED arm-waver that was set aside precisely because it reminded us of bands we: hate (?). despise (?), do not admire (?), wish we could share success with (PC). I started slow, but soon Herr Willing was egging on a speed-up. 'What the f#%! do you want from me,' I shouted, smashing my vintage acoustic to bits. Actually that didn't happen, except for the part about Howard wanting every song to be made for aerobics. A compromise was reached: tempo 91. Slow strings over a simmering beat, and charmed melodies de-oxygenating my once virile lungs. Down we went a step, then a whole. 'No,' Howard frowned. 'I liked it higher.' To that I suggested he would be responsible for the onstage defibrillation. 'What do you want from me?' shouted our producer, smashing his walker to the ground; its floor-protective tennis balls scattering. 'I. Can't. Do. This. Any. More!' Actually that didn't happen. Except for the part about him asking me to asphyxiate myself for pop-rock glory. End result: OVERJOYED out of mothballs. But wait, there's more, as I suggested the song might be better suited for future hit makers EX-COPS.
