Billy Corgan comments on “Pug” in the Adore reissue liner notes

A tale of sexual misanthropy, no less dressed up as a delusional pop song. Done correctly, ‘Pug’ might have been a single, but like a few castaways it lingers in the hallways of also-rans. Here too lies the traces of the mighty Flood, who was partial to this tracks menace and wished the album had more of this kind of lope; and not less. Per my ears, I favor the chorus, and the wistful acoustic-isms that that accompany it languor; with a nice guitar figure courtesy of James St. James.
