{{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.
{{Social media/Instagram|Pneumonia released May 22, 2001! It is the third and final album by the alt-country band Whiskeytown. The lead single, "Don't Be Sad", was co-written by The Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha, who also provided guitar contributions and backing vocals. The album is known for its troubled history, having sat on a shelf for two years after the band lost their record deal. Several bootlegs of the album surfaced before the official release from Lost Highway Records.


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.
The album was met with positive reviews from critics. AllMusic gave it four out of five stars, declaring it as an "undeniably striking and beautifully crafted set of songs". Spin magazine gave it eight out of ten, while Uncut magazine gave it a perfect five out of five, calling it an "inarticulate speech of the heart". Pneumonia peaked at #158 on the Billboard 200 and at #38 on the Heatseekers Albums chart. Prior to its release, Iha performed a handful of shows with Whiskeytown in 1998.


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.
 
Alana King of Roomthirteen called "Tarantula" a "promising track and is proof that the Smashing Pumpkins are as strong and resilient as ever." Rob Taylor of Clickmusic called the single "a slick and professional effort worthy of anyone's ear."
 
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.
 
"Tarantula" peaked at #1 in the UK, #14 in Denmark and at #30 in Canada. In the US, it reached #2 on the Alternative Airplay and at #54 on the national chart.
