It connected with everyone because it is perfect. I swear to God you can't touch Smashing Pumpkins. Their songs, their videos, live performances. I will love them forever.
I think the actual reason is both it’s combination of accessibility (it was everywhere, not hard to get ahold of, on an average person’s TV, etc) and it’s *timelessness.* It never really ages because it was an anachronism when it was created-there’s very little of it that screams “this is the 90s!” It’s created in the style of an age so long gone that it is now (and was, at the time this video was created) immune to rapidly changing trends and tastes. Everyone can appreciate the whimsy and beauty of this video, whether you’re young or old, whether you keep up with trends or not. It doesn’t ever feel dated or out of style because, again, it was created anachronistically. That’s why it connected with everyone, I think. It’s just neat. It’s not capitalizing on a trend or the zeitgeist of the 90s-it’s just *neat.*
A music video near and dear to my heart! My grandfather was one of the band members that sent off Tom Kenny and Jill Talley's characters to the moon, and then one of the angels playing behind Corgan in the sky. It's an absolutely gorgeous music video and so humbled to see this, so many years later!
That's lovely! Your grandfather is a legend. What’s his name? Are they actual musicians? I thought they were actors until I saw the violin player putting rosin on his bow in this video
I’m not someone who easily says “this is one of the best songs ever” simply because the music catalog is so vast and incredible so many songs could be claimed to be “the best of…” But I feel confident to say that, in my personal opinion, I can put Tonight Tonight as one of the 30 greatest rock achievements of all time, not only because of its lyrics, it’s depth, sincerity, and melodic beauty, but also for its majestic arrangements, it’s visual concept and incredible music video. Few songs, like The Beatles “A Day In The Life”, Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”, Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick In The Wall” or Led Zeppelin’s “Achilles Last Stand” share that same epicness.
This album, this era, this song blew my mind! I was 11 years old in '95 and ever since then, I'm 38 yrs old now and I've listened to this group since. I appreciate this song so much more as an adult!! I need to see them in concert before I phase out of this world.
My mom didn't know who SP were and maybe heard me playing my Gish cassette in the car sometimes, but she absolutely loved this video and even recorded it on VHS to show me one day.
This looks like so much fun to make! Just a bunch of artists doing what they love. We need to encourage and fund more creativity like this. Lord knows our culture needs it.
I love it. One of my favorite videos of all time. This is real art and ties the song in so well. So many years later and it still holds up to bigger budget videos.
Definitely one of the best music videos of all time. I also like Coldplay's Trouble music video. Also Bjork's music video with the Gorilla Dentist. So many amazing music videos over the years. Such amazing works of art.
Most beautiful music video ever made. I hopen one day, they'll scan all the periculeus and it will be re-released in HD or 4K. I know that would be mind-blowing.
This remains my favorite video of all time, has to be the pinnacle of the art form. The song is such a special memory of my college years in the late 90s. Thank you so much, Smashing Pumpkins!
It's the best music video of all time. Combination of video and song and it's honestly one of the great works of film art (I guess all music videos, if you think about it, are 'short films') ever made.
Muito bom assistir este making of. Moro no Rio de Janeiro BR e lembro que por volta de 1996 este incrível vídeo clip sempre passava na MTV Brasil.Ele marcou bastante a minha infancia.
i love it, but to say "it connected with everybody" is a bit silly. considering the total world population at that time, only 0.0001% would have even known that the band existed.
Who would’ve thought the voice of spongebob would be in one of the greatest music videos of all time.
finding out that d’arcy had the tonight tonight sets shipped to her farm is the cutest thing I found out today
It connected with everyone because it is perfect. I swear to God you can't touch Smashing Pumpkins. Their songs, their videos, live performances. I will love them forever.
Agree!
Yup. Me too. First concert I ever went to was for this album. Such a great show.
I think the actual reason is both it’s combination of accessibility (it was everywhere, not hard to get ahold of, on an average person’s TV, etc) and it’s *timelessness.*
It never really ages because it was an anachronism when it was created-there’s very little of it that screams “this is the 90s!” It’s created in the style of an age so long gone that it is now (and was, at the time this video was created) immune to rapidly changing trends and tastes.

That’s why it connected with everyone, I think. It’s just neat. It’s not capitalizing on a trend or the zeitgeist of the 90s-it’s just *neat.*
And the video (and the song, too, obviously) for 33. I'm not sure which I like better.
I was so insecure in the 90’s I rejected this band. I’m glad I grew up. This is perfect music.
easily one of the most creative music videos of all time
Can't believe they actually used a hand cranked camera. No one would ever do that now, they would just use effects. Respect.
Today’s video makers wouldn’t survive without digital. Although I understand the economic factor, a lot of imagination’s being lost.
@@carl_anderson9315 Imagination=Big budget sets and shooting on film?
One of the best music videos of all time!
Correction, THE BEST.

@@armandocamero Aw thank you! Yes they are actual musicians, and some were his friends/people he used to play gigs with. His name was Harold.

Wow! You just named some of my favorite bands. I agree!
Dude. It's barely in the top 30 songs on the album.

Tom Kenny and Jill Talley
Classic video. Will live forever.
Most beautiful music video of all time.
Tom Kenny is amazing!
3:26 d'arcy looked gorgeous with that dress. such a shame what she did to her face :(
Yes, it's a shame what's happened with her.
She can do whatever she wants with her appearance. Everyone has different tastes
My mom didn't know who SP were and maybe heard me playing my Gish cassette in the car sometimes, but she absolutely loved this video and even recorded it on VHS to show me one day.

So true
One of the best music videos of all time.
true art and a homage to a pioneer of filmaking
This was the last year that Tom Kenny was voicing Heffer in Rocko's Modern Life during its initial run. The show was canceled in late '96. :(
A time when music videos were not shit
Here's the making of the Tonight, Tonight music video. This was filmed in Los Angeles, CA, in March 1996. Directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. This was the 4th Mellon Collie music video. ©1995 Virgin Records.
I love it. One of my favorite videos of all time. This is real art and ties the song in so well. So many years later and it still holds up to bigger budget videos.
I agree. 👍🏼
This video inspired me so much as a kid.
Este video junto a everlong de foo fighters son los mejores videoclips de los 90tas.
Definitely one of the best music videos of all time. I also like Coldplay's Trouble music video. Also Bjork's music video with the Gorilla Dentist. So many amazing music videos over the years. Such amazing works of art.

já atualizaram em Full HD!
A work of art.
I love Tom Kenny. He's sweet, he's loveble, and extremely talented and versatile.
One of my favorite songs and music videos… ever!
The song came out when I was 6-7 and became one of my first solid memories of music.
I can’t believe Tom Kenny is in this! So wild
great freaking tune back when music was music
This remains my favorite video of all time, has to be the pinnacle of the art form. The song is such a special memory of my college years in the late 90s. Thank you so much, Smashing Pumpkins!
It don’t get more 90s than the teenage mutant ninja turtles stunt men appearing in this video 👌
A great example of when the recording and the video elevated both.
What an awesome story! Thank you!!!
So special. Another masterpiece. Brilliant.
Whaf a monumental effort. Surely one of the best music videos of all time.
It's the best music video of all time. Combination of video and song and it's honestly one of the great works of film art (I guess all music videos, if you think about it, are 'short films') ever made.
One of the best music videos ever made
It’s still amazing now
3:30

This is awesome. Looks like it must have been a hard but very fun video to do.
Muito bom assistir este making of.
Moro no Rio de Janeiro BR e lembro que por volta de 1996 este incrível vídeo clip sempre passava na MTV Brasil.Ele marcou bastante a minha infancia.
I love this song
Young Tom Kenny FTW
Kept me watching music T.V.
Practical effects with retro charm. Oh...nice song too. Hehe
The culmination of art.
Lovely
work of art..
i wonder if Darcy still has the sets.
Fantastic
Uma baita produção!
Pure art. Nowadays is just computer programs. Automat.
Holy shit is that the guy who plays spongebob?
+TheOnlyDeerAlive Yes it is! That's Tom Kenny! Good eye!
+TheOnlyDeerAlive Yup. A very young Tom Kenny.
Yes, and his wife, the voice actress behind Karen! :D
And that's his wife. They were both on the HBO show MR. SHOW with Bob n David. Check it out great comedy
That was exactly my reaction too! 😂 I believe “Holy shit” were my words verbatim!
hell yeah
Cool
Classic
These directors also created the video for Oasis’ All Around the World.
Who came here to see Spongebob?
Esse clipe é lindo lindo lindo
they re the same director of the video 1979?
Wonder if she still has the set......
Ikr, it honestly should be in a museum
Something tells me that she sold them in exchange for heroin
Nah, some musicians visited her on her farm like 2 years ago and they showed pics of the sets on social media
Yo is that Tom Kenny?
Yup
I'm on one bar ffs
No mention of Wayne White? P.S. Sick burn on 52 year old waitresses.
Central intelligence music television.
i love it, but to say "it connected with everybody" is a bit silly. considering the total world population at that time, only 0.0001% would have even known that the band existed.
D’arcy later sold the sets to buy crack :(
Russian Bot she keep someone :,)
YEAH! THE BEST!
