Underneath the melody and seemingly carefree lyrics is a darker tale of Corgan’s struggle with depression during the recording of ‘Siamese Dream’. As he told Rolling Stone in October, 1993, “I didn’t want to go outside. I was eating like a pig and I was gaining weight. I couldn’t write songs. I definitely couldn’t play with the band without losing my temper. I just lost whatever it is that keeps you sane everyday… I was really suicidal… I just thought it was funny to write a sing that said today is the greatest day of your life because it can’t get any worse.”

Does anyone know what happened to the ice cream truck in the video? If it was sold after the shooting of the video... Man, that would be a collector's item! :D

I just had a look a vid of this being played on Guitar Hero World Tour. I must say, its one of the few songs that is probably easier to play on a REAL guitar. :P
