- Absurdly Short Production Time: The song was written in just four hours from an instrumental snippet that Billy Corgan put together near the end of the recording sessions for Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Corgan rushed out the song specifically in response to said snippet's tepid reception from Flood, the album's producer. When Flood heard the finished track, he liked it so much that he immediately stuck it on the album.
- California Doubling: The video is supposed to be set in a Chicago suburb but was shot in California. The mountains give it away.
- What Could Have Been:
- The video was going to have a completely different concept, with the band members living in an alien hotel and having specially made masks, but the price tag for that was too high.
- The convenience store scene was intended to be more violent, but directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris convinced Corgan to have it tamer.
