I thought this was the fourth single? And Zero was the third? Everyking 07:19, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Nope. According to [1], Tonight, Tonight was first (if only by a few weeks in the States) MrHate 08:36, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
Hmm, well, I have the DVD collection of videos, and on it Zero comes before Tonight Tonight. Everyking 08:45, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
You're right, it does, though those dates on spfc are accurate. Good spotting! MrHate 10:10, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)

Added the "Trivia" section. Anyone with more trivia about the video or song is welcome to add to it. Chris Berry 16:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

If there isn't a reference regarding the mass suicide of PATD fans it should be removed: this claim seems bogus. --Ed Seneca, 26 June 2006

[edit] Lyrics

To the person who added the lyrics, these words are copyrighted which makes it illegal to add the lyrics to ANY songs Wikipedia page so I, in turn, deleted them. Debaser23 09:46, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


Whew! Thank you militant copyright enforcer! We can all rest easier knowing that Billy Corgan would be less likely to be mildly offended by seeing his lyrics on a non-profit website!

Kudos! Do not stop here: barrage homeless shelters for tacking inspirational quotes on bulletin boards without permission; assault teachers for using copyrighted info in their classrooms; mud-stomp college kids for using copyrighted data in their classroom presentations!!

You make this world great. Never give up! We need examples like you.

[edit] Tuning

Tonight, Tonight is written in F# not in G... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.178.203.191 (talk) 07:43, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the guitars are tuned down a semitone on most tracks on MCIS, so to a guitarist with no tonal reference, it would appear to be in G. However, compared to an absolute reference (e.g. a piano), the root of this song is clearly G-flat (or F-sharp, but it makes more sense to consider it as flattened). Oli Filth(talk) 12:06, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
The problem is it's inferred that the original key was C flat, so for consistency they would have to be listed as C and G, or C flat and G flat. Since the source mentions the keys of C and G, that's what should be written. WesleyDodds 04:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
