Billy Corgan quoted the following from www.sheknows.com interview August 2005

"The original song by the Bee Gees is in a major key and very up-sounding,
and I knew it wouldn't fit that way. So I slipped it all into a minor key, 
so it's the same melody but sadder. We finished the demo and my engineer 
thought it was one of the best things we've ever done and that was just 
the demo. So I'm pretty good friends with Robert Smith from the Cure who 
were a big influence on me. We're not just rock buddies, we sort of have a 
loving relationship from afar. So I called Robert up and said, "Will you 
sing on my record?" He said, "Sure, whatever you want." I said, "It's a 
Bee Gees song." Over the Transatlantic line I hear Robert Smith going 
"The Bee Gees?" I said, "Trust me, just do your thing and it will be fine."
He did and it was great."
