OK I've warmed to it, I'm digging Hooray

It's fruity, it's weird, it's so stylistically different, it's kinda shitty but I think that's the charm. I've given it multiple listens now.

It's definitely not the worst song on Atum, that honor goes to Butterfly Suite.

It's definitely not the worst SP song, that honor goes to Owata/Run2me/most of Cyr/Mayonaise

Sorry folks, this is easily the most interesting track from Atum so far. It’s catchy, unpretentious, and borderline good. The outro is full of fun sounds and seems to have that weird Pumpkins humor that SP2 sorely lacks. Maybe I’m taking crazy pills but this is one of my favorite SP2 songs. Not once does it try to rawk or recapture the old magic. It’s fun!

Oh also adrenaline or however he spells it is pretty fucking abysmal. But I think we’ve all forgotten that one.

Tyger tyger too.

Butterfly Suite is one of the better tracks on Atum. And please tell me Mayonaise was put in that list of worst SP songs as a joke??

Stick to the drums, mate.

It's grown on me because it's so out there. No one in their right mind would have put it on an album, but that's what yes men are for I guess.

Mayonnaise?!?!?!? Are you serious? Must be a troll.

As for the question, yes Hooray is the worst Pumpkins song of all time. First time I ever felt embarrassment being a pumpkins fan. I love Butterly suite, best song on the album.

Even the "I love it because it's so weird" comments confuse me. It's not like it's super experimental and challenging stuff pushing the boundaries. It's just weird because it's very bad.

It's the way it's produced. I see what he's going for on it, it's like a circus act vibe or something. Imagine it but played with Cupid style instruments, and it'd probably be ok.

But it's the damn synths.

And there's always a bad song from each era, or even just a relatively "worst" song (e.g. Bye June, Sweet Sweet, Scorched Earth, HMM etc). But you had to really dig deep to find them, and even they weren't "bad" songs.

In the Shiny / Cyr / Atum era, you have to dig deep to find GOOD songs. Which as we all know, is the wrong way around.

Guys, I just huffed a ton of glue so you can trust me, ATUM is the better than Look to the Sky and Teargarden Vol III. And you can trust me cos I'm a Netphorian and I'm usually pretty cynical about SP 4.0 (amitrite?) content. Here is my twelve point plan to reaching this conclusion.

1. Huff a ton of glue.
2. Be completely out of your fucking mind.
3. Talk shit.

If "French Movie Theme" was an ATUM track you'd all be shitting on it too, don't kid yourselves.

This song is the best music from this ATUM thing

Gimme more of this Wesley Willis summoning, synapse thrashing sound. It is absolutely riveting. Can u imagine an entire album of this up-tempo chug full of super sweet antifreeze? Let’s hear what it feels like to be in big willies mind. Let’s really hear it

“An oasis of horror in a desert of boredom.”

I honestly must admit I listened to it more than once as well. Once (or twice, I have a horrible memory) due to morbid curiosity (again, horrible memory, I just remembered it was bad but couldn't remember the exact sound), and the other time while listening with my friend for laughs.

from the podcast, sounds to me like billy's aiming for a catchy track that would easily be lisenced cash grab... be it for a Barney movie or an Apple commercial..
it certainly has more ear worm potential than anything else on the album.
