{{Social media/Instagram|"Tarantula" released digitally May 21, 2007! It is the first single from The Smashing Pumpkins' seventh album, Zeitgeist, and their first release since their 2006 reunion.


The title "Tarantula" was chosen in honor of the German rock band Scorpions, with whom Corgan had recently collaborated on the Scorpions song "The Cross". The intro and the outro of the song are inspired by the song "Dark Lady" of Scorpions, while Corgan stated that he wrote the solo of the song thinking how Uli Jon Roth could have played it. Corgan and Chamberlin believe the song is a culmination of music they've been listening to all their lives, specifically the Scorpions and UFO.
== Setlist ==


On May 22, 2007, "Tarantula" was played for the first time live in Paris at the Pumpkins' first show in seven years. The song was also played on the Late Show with David Letterman on July 9, 2007. It has been performed about 220 times in total, most recently in San Diego in 2010.

On July 2, a single was released on CD and 7-inch in the UK, both containing the B-side "Death from Above". Both covers have a black-and-white photo of Paris Hilton holding a BlackBerry with the Zeitgeist album cover on the screen, and a low-resolution image of a mushroom cloud in the background. A separate 7-inch was released in a clear plastic sleeve on white vinyl.

The music video debuted on July 2, 2007 on Spinner. It features the band (dressed primarily in the white outfits of the 2007 tour) playing with multiple extra people, in front of a psychedelic visual collage, partially shot in 3D. It was directed by P.R. Brown. In July 2007, the band released the green screen files for the video and asked fans to make their own version as part of a contest. Two winners were announced in August 2007.
