This is from our wildly successful album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. My uh, my voice is a little hoarse so you have to sing along and cover up my [unintelligible word]. Thank you.
Iha: And [2 unintelligible words], get up and dance.

Iha: I like that one too, heh heh.
BC: So uh, before we go on to this final song, we’d just like to say we love you very much and appreciate your support more than we could ever express. We hope you had a good time, we'll see you again soon. Now we go into space.
