Why do you think it's called Jellybelly?
One of their heaviest songs and it's named after a jellybean brand

silly, nonsense, off-the-cuff name, per their usual style for song/riff ideas
and this one stuck |

"One of their heaviest songs and it's named after a jellybean brand"
signature Pumpkins humor. completely in line with the hilarious sequencing of Tonight, Tonight -> Jellybelly and the even more extreme 1979 -> Tales of a Scorched Earth |

also like in 1996 when Billy would say something like "this is from our most recent album, it came out... 3 years ago" and then they would go into Ruby. or during Lollapalooza right before Disarm he'd say "this is a new one... from our new album Siamese Dream, it just came out last week."

Here are but a few: "Tiberious" "Mayonaise" "Anti-Hero" "Monuments" "Zeitgeist" "La Dolly Vita" "Cherub Rock" "Rhinoceros" "Tarantula" "Muzzle" etc., etc., etc... It's rather sad to see that Billy's never grown out of this. |

putting ToaSE between 1979 and Ruby is one of the biggest crimes committed by the OG Pumpkins.

Electronic/Alternative Metal Art rock/Prog It’s really quite something. My only guess why you would say that is because you don’t like TOASE. If that’s the case, then boy do you need to let it grow on you. |

Cherub Rock in particular furthermore why is it sad that he didn't make a habit of making more boring song titles/lyrics? is that just another sympton of "Billy did it so we have to shit on it" syndrome? |

Titles like "Dilly-Daddy" or "Popcorn" would have been just as applicable for songs such as "Tiberius" or "Mayonaise" as the ones Billy ultimately chose. |

Of that list I'd say Zeitgeist and Muzzle actually have some relevancy to the song in question. Zeitgeist referred to the political mood of Dubya's administration as Bill saw it, and 'Muzzle' is a reference to the feeling of being smothered or sublimated ('I fear that I am ordinary')
I'd call Billy's titles 20% meaningful and 80% bullshit like Rhinoceros. She nose lol we made a funny. Jellybelly was in use for a good long while spanning two songs, so it belongs to the bullshit pile IMO. Just a title Bill wanted to use. |

Billy once told me why it's called Jellybelly but I can't remember.
