The drum machine rhythm track was roughly taken from a 1994 demo version, because Corgan forgot how to program it again.

This is completely wrong, The Drum Track for 33 is the durm track from the original demo.The 'cha-cha-cha' sound is my drum machine through a flanger, and what you hear is the same one right off the demo because I couldn't remember how to recreate it. Billy says that in the January 1997 issue of guitar world, so I changed it

[edit] TRL?

This may be one of those things that's impossible to prove, but are there any sources behind the assertation that "Thirty-Three" actually placed very highly in the countdown? I'd never heard this and would be interested in reading more about it. Pumpkingrrl 09:05, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Song origin story

Before the band broke up, they performed this song on VH1 Storytellers (that's mentioned in the article already), and, although my memory is fuzzy on this after seven years, I believe I recall a story Corgan told about this song's background and the origin of the title: that a fortune teller told him that a major change in his life would occur when he was 33 years old (and that, as it turned out, the band broke up when he was that age). Certainly the song's meaning has to do with growing older. The story would be a good thing to add to the article, but I can't justify myself adding content based on a fuzzy recollection like that, so I was wondering if anyone could confirm this, and might know of a published source for it as well.
