The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right)

"The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right)" (originally entitled "Disconnected") is a song from the "Thirty-Three" single by The Smashing Pumpkins, which was bundled with the box set, The Aeroplane Flies High. The final studio version was recorded in two parts; Chamberlin's drums were recorded March 1996 in Australia while the band was on tour, and Billy Corgan finished the rest in a single day some time later after Chamerblin had left the band.

A brief snippet of this tune, which was originally entitled 'Disconnected,' is found in the 'Pastichio Medley.' This is a Mellon Collie riff that I could never seem to find a place for. [Producer] Flood didn't like this one much ("too heavy metal"-a common complaint), and I never finished it until right before it was recorded. Essentially a new song with an old riff, with spoken word bits courtesy of my friend. The solo, funnily enough, was quickly thrown down because I had to go to a funeral. It was supposed to be a reference for where to pick up when I came back. But when I returned, I was surprised by how much I liked it.
