Billy Corgan was asked to pick songs for specific times in his life by The Guardian, and not surprisingly he chose a couple by The Smashing Pumpkins.
When he was asked to choose one to have played at his funeral Corgan said, “I’d probably pick one of my own just to make some sort of posthumous, bitter point: ‘You should have paid more attention to me when I was here.’ ‘To Sheila’ from the Adore album by Smashing Pumpkins would be a good one, if you’re sitting there, mourning my loss."
As for a favorite karaoke jam, Corgan said, "The last song I did at karaoke was ‘Zero’ by The Smashing Pumpkins. I thought it would be funny to sing my own song, but the longer it went, the more I performed it like I was on stage in front of 50,000 people, and the less people thought it was funny."
