"Jellybelly" is a song off the album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins. "Jellybelly" is thought to be one of the heavier tracks on the album, and was almost always in the live set on the accompanying Mellon Collie tour. It is also one of Billy Corgan's favourite Pumpkins tracks, and it has been widely reported by inside sources that he wanted this to be the first single of the album instead of "Bullet With Butterfly Wings". However, the record company disagreed.
"I felt really close to 'Jellybelly' because it sounds to me like a classic Pumpkins song from a third album. It sounds to me like the manifestation of everything we've ever done on a third album"
"Jellybelly" has been covered by multiple artists, including American emo group A Thorn for Every Heart.
