90s Jams #94: Smashing Pumpkins "Disarm" (1993)

In one part of the "Disarm" video, a leg sticks out of someone's hand. However, Youtube will not allow this amazing video to be embedded here. If there is a 2nd most quintessential "Disarm" image, it has to be the one from The Wackness, whose soundtrack is almost entirely early-90's hiphop, with a few exceptions. "Lithium" was considering for one scene but wasn't allowed. Luckily the director was able to get the rights to "Disarm," used in a sequence when the teenage protagonist is alone and bummin' over a chick, a hugely universal moment... Not quite as universal as specifically bumming out to Smashing Pumpkins, but closer than most of us would like to admit.
