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.
*Fun Fact: Tom Kenny (Spongebob) and his wife played the leading roles in the music video.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING IN THIS VIDEO. ALL MUSIC BELONGS TO THE SMASHING PUMPKINS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE LABELS.

Who would’ve thought the voice of spongebob would be in one of the greatest music videos of all time.

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!

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.
