The Smashing Pumpkins-Tonight,Tonight & Le voyage dans la lune-George Méliès



'Tonight, Tonight' a track from the 1995 double album 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness'. The video takes its inspiration from "Le voyage dans la lune" by George Méliès. The film is the first ever example in the science fiction genre. The film is included below for your consideration. What is remarkable is that an idea thought noteworthy and groundbreaking in 1902 can find an audience through a new version, in a new setting 90 plus years later. It has a certain melancholy charm that works well with the song.
