if you are lucky enough to find someone else who knows all of the words to this song, get in the car, blare it at top volume, scream at the top of your lungs and enjoy.

This exact thing has happened to me. Usually the song ends up getting played twice in a row.

MiS might be my favorite hard-rock SP song.

Even I don't have the song memorized, and I know the lyrics to all MCIS era things. its my least fav song out of that entire era despite being an awesome song

Always thought this as well as the other songs on the Zero single sound a bit forced and contrived. It's still a good song, but it just has never hit me the way it seems to hit everyone else.

i fucking love this song! i played it live, thats where the fun is. That little outro is probably the most fun thing to play ever. I never knew why the vocals were so low in the mix though. I think SP dislike this song as being one of those rock dinosaur things

i believe it was Kahlo who once said "if ever there was a song that sounded like SP on autopilot, its God off the zero single" and i'm inclined to agree. and marquis takes second place.

Wow, you had the Zero single in elementary school? I was in early high school when I picked it up, which means I probably whacked off to the liner notes pic.

no we gotta ask isle.

hey isle, is autopilot a bad thing?

hard to say...i would say autopilot can be characterized by the use of a) some knowingly trite lyrics and b) a somewhat blasé delivery. but i guess it works for the songs, its not really a complaint

Gotta agree with you man. For all of the praise the EP gets, I find most of it to be kinda boring. I cannot stand the song God, and the only part of Marquis in Spades that I like is that "fucker" in the beginning. The only song I really love on it is Pennies.

You sick bastard, she's not hot! At least not like that. You were the type that jacked off to pictures of saggy-boobed women in third world countries in National Geographic too, weren't you?

I agree with the whole autopilot idea. I don't really get any solid emotional content out of the song at all, it just rocks hard. Which I mean, isn't always a bad thing, even Corgan once said there are lots of "dumb" songs that are still good songs. I'm just used to the bulk of the Pumpkins material always having that emotional pull to it I guess.

I can sorta understand the "autopilot" stuff when it comes to "God," but I don't see how Marquis in Spades can be considered to in that category as well. I always thought that MiS and Mouth of Babes were a cut above the other stuff on the Zero EP (and TAFH as a whole, really).

Of course, I love Marquis in Spades just for the part in the demo of it where Billy fakes the lyrics.

"We know who you are, and where you live...
something...something....YEAH!"
