Why a Smashing Pumpkins Hit Features an Ice Cream Truck

MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Opening of Today)

One of the most upbeat-sounding songs of the ’90s
hit No. 1 on January 23, 1996.

“Today” from the Smashing Pumpkins

(Music Cut 2 — verse settles in)

The iconic music video —
with Billy Corgan driving an ice-cream truck through the desert —
was inspired by a childhood memory.

(Music Cut 3 — shot of the ice-cream truck)

An ice-cream man who decided to quit his job
drove through the neighborhood one last time,
giving away everything he had —
free — to all the kids.

(Final Song clip)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Can’t wait for tomorrow —
I might not have that long.”
— Smashing Pumpkins
