Customer Reviews EXCELLENT It's one of Billy's masterpiece solos. I must say this single does not have my favorite hardcore music on it, but it is pretty awesome! Disarm is okay, I'm not a big fan of it. It's acoustic with bells. Haunting. Then we have Fleetwood Mac's Landslide. It's pretty good, it was on Rotten Apples (Greatest Hits). They did an excellent job covering it! It was also on Pisces Iscariot This seems to be one of those "cover" singles, because next we have Thin Lizzy's "Dancing In The Moonlight. " This is like one of the Pumpkins' greatest songs EVER! And it wasn't on Pisces Iscariot! It's slow, but I love it! You just can't resist Billy's voice when it flows along with the music like that. This is a must-have, but it's sadly out of print. You can find it on "Rarities and B-sides" on MSN Music. Search for MSN music, look up the Smashing Pumpkins, go to Rarities and B-sides and scroll down the track listing until u find Disarm and then about 4 songs later you'll see "Landslide" and "Dancing In The Moonlight. " Sign up and go for em'! :-D. Disarm + 2 Quality B-Sides It features intelligent and touching lyrics, and very emotive music. Billy Corgan's 'Disarm' is one of the Smashing Pumpkins best-known songs, and for good reason. The video clip fits the song perfectly, matching the whimsical and bittersweet mood of the song. This single is a gem because of the quality throughout. Both 'Landslide' and 'Dancing In The Moonlight' are amazing tracks, and show how the Smashing Pumpkins can cover a song and make it their own. 'Landslide' is a Stevie Nicks cover and is the highlight of the Smashing Pumpkins' 'Pisces Iscariot' B-Sides collection. It is Corgan at his best, with emotional, soaring vocals and powerful music. It is 100 times better than the recent Dixie Chicks cover. Sometimes I wonder how this song was never a #1 single. . . 'Dancing In The Moonlight' is the final track, and for most Pumpkins' fans, the reason for purchasing this single (seeing as it isn't on any other album). It's an awesome track (also a cover) and holds true to the restrained and moody feel of the cd. A friend of mine lists this as his favourite Smashing Pumpkins song. Corgan's beautiful vocals compliment the melancholic instrumentation, adding to the overall mood. Anyone who picks this up will be thoroughly inmpressed - I was lucky enough to come by it in a second hand cd store. This is why the Smashing Pumpkins were as great as they were. Source of Dancin' in the Moonlight What a great song Dancin' in the Moonlight is, to answer the question as to its source, it is a cover of a Thin Lizzy song. .
