It is an altered version of the song "Pink Maggit" from the band's album ''White Pony''. The album was re-released with the song shortly after the album's initial release, in a contentious move by the band's label. "Back to School (Mini Maggit)" was released as both a single and as an EP package; the single was released shortly before the EP. Vocalist Chino Moreno: "This album right here (White Pony re-release ) is not the album that we turned into the label. As far as we're concerned, the first edition was the record. Done. Then, they talked us into re-releasing it with another song on it, and it's not like I'm against the song or whatever, but I liked the sequence we had when we first turned it in. When this version came out, a little part inside all of us felt like: 'Fuck! We just totally compromised.' And I know that a lot of our fans felt bad about it too."〔()〕 The band also regrets specifically "Back to School's" presence on the re-release of the album, as Moreno stated in an interview with German rock magazine ''Visions'': "'Back to School' was a mistake. A calculated song, that had been built up with only one aim in mind: It should be a single. ... 'Back to School' was released because I was an idiot. I wanted to prove something (the record company ). Months later, after ''White Pony'' was released, they wanted us to do a new version of "Pink Maggit". They said we lost our heaviness, and there were no more singles on the album. First, I wanted to stick this idea up my ass, but then I thought: 'I'm gonna show those fuckers how easy it is to create a hit-single.' And so I rapped a hip hop part on that song, we shortened it and half an hour later, the hit-single was ready to roll on."〔(DEFTONESWORLD.com - It's all about the deftones )〕 ==Track listing== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Back to School (Mini Maggit)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
