"Tonight, Tonight" is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins. It was the third single from their third album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. It was written by Billy Corgan and was performed with a string orchestra for the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards.
The music video for the song has been critically acclaimed and scooped the same 1996 MTV Video Music Awards that the band performed it at, winning Best Video, Best Direction, Best Special Effects, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, and Breakthrough Video. The song is so popular that it was performed at almost every Smashing Pumpkins concert since its release, one of few songs that can make that claim.
The single featured a collection of acoustic demos recorded personally by Corgan at his home studio (nicknamed Sadlands). "Medellia of the Grey Skies" was intended to be the second part to the album track "Porcelina of the Vast Oceans", "Rotten Apples" eventually wound up being the title of the band's greatest hits release and "Tonite Reprise" is a reprise of the title track.
