"Rhinoceros" Was The Third Track Off The Smashing Pumpkin's Debut Gish. Despite Not Being Released As A Single It Is A Fan Favorite Being Played At Nearly Every Concert Throughout The Band's Career. It Is Also The Most Streamed Track Off Gish On Spotify. The Song Features A Hook That Sounds Like "she Knows And She Knows And She Knows". According To Billy Corgan For Us It Was Trying To Become This Balance Point Between What Felt Like Dumb Riff Rock And Then The Stuff We Were Really Attracted To Coming Out Of The U.K. And Then We Put Those Pieces Together With The Beatles Somewhere In The Middle". The Reason The Song Is Named Rhinoceros Is Because The Chorus Goes 'She Knows'. 'Knows' Sounds Like 'nose'. Rhinos Are Named Partly For Their Big Horn Noses Since The 'rhine' Is Derived From 'nose'. "Say You Write A Song About A Chandelier And The Chandelier Gives Off Light. And The Light Is The Color Red And Red Reminds You Of The Color You're Not Supposed To Wear Around A Bull. So You Name The Song 'Cow.'" - Billy Corgan.
