"Tarantula" is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins. It is the first single from their seventh album, ''Zeitgeist'', and their first release since their 2006 revival. ==Release and structure== Billy Corgan mentioned during a June 5 concert in Berlin that "Tarantula" was titled in honor of the German rock band Scorpions, with whom Corgan had recently collaborated on the Scorpions song "The Cross". Corgan and Chamberlin believe the song is a culmination of music they've been listening to all their lives, specifically the Scorpions and UFO.〔Chamberlin, Jimmy and Billy Corgan.
