Il primo riferimento è verso l'album "Monuments to an elegy" degli Smashing Pumpkins atteso il 9 dicembre il cui brano di anteprima si intitola "Being Beige(World's on fire)".
«La gente mi chiede sempre di spiegare le canzoni, ma io non so che farlo, davvero», dice Billy Corgan, che in questo primo singolo del nuovo album canta un allegro ritornello, “The world’s on fire”. «Ma se c’è dell’onestà in questi versi», continua il cantante degli Smashing Pumpkins, «è che c’è qualcosa che non va nel nostro universo. Ma ancora dobbiamo amare».
Allego il testo della canzone:
I don't love you for what it's worth
So if you're leaving can you hurt
Cherry blossom, this is goodbye
Come here lately and you fly
So if you're leaving can you hurt
Cherry blossom, this is goodbye
Come here lately and you fly
When they say what it's worth
The world tells you first
Then you know where to hurt
The world's on fire, so
The world's on fire, so have you heard
The world tells you first
Then you know where to hurt
The world's on fire, so
The world's on fire, so have you heard
Lover let me please
Fall on down your knees
Lover let me please, be the one
Know the prayers to make
Flowers made to fade
And when this world to wait
It'll wait for us
Fall on down your knees
Lover let me please, be the one
Know the prayers to make
Flowers made to fade
And when this world to wait
It'll wait for us
The world's on fire, so
The world's on fire, so have you heard
The world's on fire, so have you heard
Yes I loved you as a matter of fact
You first are wrapped up, and that's that
You first are wrapped up, and that's that
Lover let me please
Fall on down your knees
You once made me smile
When you strayed
Fall on down your knees
You once made me smile
When you strayed
The world's on fire, so
The world's on fire, so have you heard
The world's on fire
The world's on fire, have you heard
The world's on fire, so have you heard
The world's on fire
The world's on fire, have you heard
Lover have you breathed
To make for your relief (To make for your belief)
So I'm no longer here by your side
What's to hide
To make for your relief (To make for your belief)
So I'm no longer here by your side
What's to hide
The world's on fire
The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Monday)
The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Tuesday)
The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Wednesday)
The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Thursday)
The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Friday)
The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Saturday)
The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Sunday)
The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Monday)
The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Tuesday)
The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Wednesday)
The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Thursday)
The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Friday)
The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Saturday)
The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Sunday)

Un altro fondamentale riferimento al beige è visibile nell'album di Duke Ellington "Black, Brown and Beige".
Album "Black, Brown and Beige" |
L'album è la registrazione di una versione riveduta e corretta della suite Black, Brown and Beige composta da Ellington nel 1943 ispirandosi al cammino di emancipazione del popolo afroamericano negli Stati Uniti. Dopo un responso critico negativo alla prima esecuzione della composizione nel 1943, Ellington modificò la suite inizialmente composta da tre parti, dividendola in sei altre sezioni più brevi, con l'aggiunta di Come someday e Work Song, ed è questa versione che venne incisa alla Columbia nel '58.
