(BC over drum intro: Alright! Good evening, we’re the Smashing Pumpkins, thank you very much, nice to see you. How you feelin’ tonight, Oslo? Is it Friday? - I never know what day it is. It’s Friday, right? Yeah, lots of party. Yeah. Yeah.)
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. Like to bring out Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. You live in a very beautiful country. Very beautiful. Beautiful country, beautiful women. I don’t know why I live in America, I should live here but...uh, heh. But Jimmy here, Jimmy tried to go ice skating yesterday. Where are we? - we’re downtown somewhere, there’s an ice skating rink, yeah? You know the ice skating rink downtown? They wouldn’t give Jimmy skates because he’s American. They said no Americans allowed here at the ice skating rink. We’re very disappointed. Uh heh heh heh. You’re sorry? Okay. On behalf of the Smashing Pumpkins, we accept your apology.

Is that Kosovo, what’s going on there? It’s the Republic of Corgan. Did you know I was k - I’m king in Republic of Corgan? Heh heh heh. I don’t speak Norwegian, okay, I don’t. Even when you speak English, I don’t speak Norwegian. Just kidding, heh, thank you, heh heh. I’m too dumb, I’m too deaf, I can’t hear you. I’m sorry? Oh. Sorry, we don’t play that song anymore. Sorry, sorry. We don’t play that song either, heh heh heh. You know why we don’t play those songs? Because we don’t want you to like us, don’t you understand? The reason the band is still around after 20 years is because you don’t like us. Think about it, think about it. If you liked us, you wouldn’t be here, see? That’s how it works, reverse. Plus I didn’t write those songs anyway, who cares? My evil twin wrote those songs. Thank you very much for coming, we hope you haver good - ugh, start again. Thank you very much for coming, hope you ever get a good time. Thank you for coming, Jimmy, heh heh, we hope you’re having a good time, Jimmy. Now this is an old song that I wrote when I was innocent.
