(BC: That’s the end of the party, Mike. No, guys, stop, heh heh, please stop.)
(song continues as more of a reggae jam for a minute)
BC: Ah, it brings back those Halloween memories, Jeff.
Jeff: That tunic’s gotta go. Oh captain, yeah, that’s--that’s much better.
BC: This memory’s better?
Jeff: Yeah, this was better, this is better. Fuck that night.
BC: Alright.
Jeff: We sh--we really shoulda gave everybody a refund.
BC: You wanna give the refund or...?
Jeff: No, Mike said he would.
BC: You’re gonna refund everybody’s money from the Halloween show that October.
Jeff: Hahahahaha.
BC: Rookie. Yes, thank you.
Jeff: Yeah.
BC: Y’all doin’ alright? Okay, I’d like a little crowd participation now. This is a song called Widow Wake My Mind, anybody know this song? The one that’s available for free on smashing pumpkins dot com, that song, Jeff?
Jeff: Yup. Yup, yup, yup, yup.
BC: Yeah. Does everybody here know the new songs are for free on the Pumpkins website? Those of you that don’t know, all the new songs are free, just go take ‘em, you don’t even have to give an e-mail address, all good. So this song, if you download it for free, you lazy motherfuckers.... I’m just kidding, come on, I’m just kidding. I had to pull out the old Corgan just for fun. Just for fun. Heh heh. They didn’t get that joke, Jeff! Okay, this song goes like this. Those of you who know it, sing along a little bit. (starts singing the oh’s) Come on, you did better on Hang On Sloopy. This is a better song than Hang On Sloopy, I hate to tell you. Okay, let me get this straight. Smells Like Teen Spirit, Hang On Sloopy, which is better? Smells Like Teen Spirit. Hang On Sloopy. Okay, okay, hold on, uh, let’s see... Let’s see. Iron Man by Black Sabbath? Iron Man by Black Sabbath. Hang On Sloopy. Sabbath always wins.
