Jellybelly

Jellybelly is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' third studio album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Corgan considered issuing the song as album's first single but it was passed over in favor of "Bullet with Butterfly Wings".

I felt really close to 'Jellybelly', because it sounds to me like a classic Pumpkins song from a third album. It sounds to me like the manifestation of everything we've ever done on a third album, whereas 'Cherub Rock' sounded to me like a second album single. But 'Bullet's one of those songs where, you know, it's easy to sing along to and [he affects a drawl] ya gotta sell them records.

The song was covered by American emo group A Thorn for Every Heart on The Killer in You: A Tribute to Smashing Pumpkins.

Equipment
In the Mellon Collie sessions, Corgan used a Marshall JMP-1 rack preamp, fed into an Alesis compressor to drive extra gain.
