My hypothesis is that some people in favor of mp3 trade but disgusted with the near-100% freeloaders screwed up the titles/artists to make the freeloaders look stupid.

Make more sense now? Eh, doesn't matter...dumb theory.

I figure they were just too lazy to look at the back of the box and decided the most repeated line must be the title. Hence, "Rat in a Cage".

Why IS it called Bullet with Butterfly Wings, anyway?

Probably because bullets are hard, painful, deadly high velocity objects. Whereas butterflies are slow and gentle like, usually. Now, give a bullet butterfly wings, essentially making it seem gentle and slow and pretty, while having it retain its killing power, and you basically have "slow death". The song seems to be about feeling trapped in show biz, and how it is slowly sucking the life out of Billy Corgan.

Or some shit like that. I don't know why he seemed tp whine so much - make your million (or two) and get out, if it's that bad.

And he was obviously feeling that cramping of style in Smashing Pumpkins so he went and created Zwan, and from what I've heard the Pumkins must have really been cramping his artistic style as Zwan is sooooo radically different.

Hmmm... I should listen to some Zwan. I've heard that too, that it's very different from the Pumpkins.

I would save to say, those stupid people who always think they're right changed the titles.

you know, They search SOAD - When Angels Deserve To Die, and when they see Chop suey! they go, WTF is this? That's not the name of the song, and then they change it.

I'm pretty sure that's what happens.
