* PresentDayPast: In the 1979 music video, if you look closely at the pinball machine in the window of the front of the convenience store, you'll notice it's a Gottlieb Pinball/TeedOff, which wasn't built until 1993.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: One can interpret the lyrics of certain songs ('X.Y.U.', 'Bodies', 'Fuck You') to be about Billy's marriage to his wife Chris Fabian, whom he divorced near the end of the tour for this album. This interpretation isn't so far-fetched since Billy at one point stated that some of the lyrics to ''Siamese Dream'' came from a CreatorBreakdown as he had temporarily separated from her (then his girlfriend) during the recording sessions.

** The opening TitleTrack, just Billy Corgan sitting at the piano playing a simple tune, occasionally backed by synth strings.
** '''"Tonight, Tonight!!"''' With those soaring strings and Creator/GeorgesMelies-inspired music video (starring real-life couple Creator/TomKenny and Jill Talley), it's one of the most absolutely romantic songs on the 90s!
** "Galapogos," with Jimmy Chamberlin's controlled brush-drumming and Billy playing his electric guitar and singing as gently as possible.
** The arpeggios on "Cupid de Locke" are positively dreamy.
