"Siva" is a song by American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins.
Corgan has stated the riff was conceived on an acoustic guitar while working at a record store in Chicago.
Upon realizing that the name was more readily connected with the Hindu god Shiva, he removed the letter "h" from the title to lessen this association.
[5] The song was only released as a single in the UK (on vinyl), New Zealand and Australia (on CD), as well as appearing on the Peel Sessions EP.
On January 29, 2008, it was also made available as a downloadable track for the video game Rock Band.
