Anyone know a Smashing Pumpkins Christmas song?

So they've started playing Christmas music in the mall, and I'm listening to this one song, and I'm thinking it sounds like Smashing Pumpkins. And then the singer does this thing with his voice that convinces me it is Billy Corgan. And it's one of the only decent holiday songs they're playing right now. Not being a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan, I have no clue where to find this song. Any help?

All Music Guide indicates that the Pumpkins have a song called "Christmas Time" on the compilation A Very Special Christmas, Volume 3.

All Music Guide is your friend.

They also covered Rudolph the red nose reindeer that can be found to download at http://www.billy-corgan.com/downloads/mp3/index.php under "Mashed Potatoes Boxed Set"

Just out of interest, did Tim Burton direct one of Smashing Pumpkins music vids? I cant remember the name of the fuckin song though. Pumkin fans should know which one I mean.

In a word: No. Tim Burton has never worked with the Smashing Pumpkins.

Might also mean "Stand Inside Your Love," which I think was actually directed by Billy Corgan, and may well be one of their most powerful singles, at least IMH Pumpkinheaded O. There was also a rumor a number of years back that Tim Burton was directing a Tool video, but as far as I know, save for the video for "Sober," all their videos were directed by Adam Jones of the band. I'm surprised Burton never directed an Oingo Boingo video, what with him and Danny Elfman being joined at the hip, but such is life. So I guess we all have got to wait for "Big Fish."

Perhaps Tom can shed light on this, if he's so inclined: I've seen someone post on here under the username "Billy Corgan," who seemed to imply he was a musician. Is this an incredible coincidence, someone assuming that identity, or, y'know, him?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure its really him. I remember reading that he was a fan of doom patrol. I'll see if I can find a link.

Yep, and he's been kind enough to share some new original poetry/lyrics with us in the past.

He has a LiveJournal too.

The buzz from Flyboy is: He has a LiveJournal too.

It hasn't been updated in two months. And good lord, it reads like a teenager's diary. I grant you that it's apparent Billy's got something of a Peter Pan complex, but wow.

From what I gather Paz Lenchantin quitting the band was probably the catalyst for Zwan's breakup. This would seem to be a trend in his career.

Jack fears: Are you the real Vladimir J. Baptiste Jr.?

As real as he gets. Yes, this is an intentionally vague statement. No, I will not clarify.

EDIT

That all depends. Whose definition of "reality" are we grounding this in?

EDIT

Fuggorff! Nabaddee tellsh me wevver I kin chrife buh ME! Nah gimme mah vuggin' keysh! I wan' yer batch nummer!

EDIT

I used to know... but that was a long time ago, in the future. Which I think just about covers that.
