Pennies

"Pennies" is a song by the The Smashing Pumpkins released with the "Zero" EP, which was bundled with the box set The Aeroplane Flies High. In Billy's Gravity Demos I the song was titled "And I Stumbled Onto You".

One of those songs that I wrote in 10 minutes and can't seem to shake off. I like this song a lot, and find myself humming it about the house, as it is a very rare example of actual Pumpkins humor in a song. Recorded live to a 8-track cassette, with a few acoustic 12-string overdubs just to give it a little zing. This was our second choice for a take; the better take was lost when the engineer forgot to press 'record.
