    Its a reference to Bullet with Butterfly Wings - by Smashing Pumpkins. An old 90s song all us middle aged Americans heard on the radio so much that even people who don’t like that band would probably recognize it

      If this is the only pumpkins song you know it’s not really representative. This is the most angry teenage angsty song on there, that’s plenty of melodic songs.

      I think people buying the record after hearing only this song would have buyers remorse.
