none. they're the same song.

according to various setlists from when it first saw the light of day, the song went through about 8 different potential titles

the 2 fave titles (and the ones which seem to crop up most often on current set lists) are "snub nose" and "top nite out"

actually, i might put this in the faq section. ta 8)

The first name stick among fans though, and in next Exxile on Euphoria tour it got the name Snubnose, only to be changed into Top Nite Out in summer 2001.

I was always under the impression that the provisional titles were meant to form a sentence.

"Snub Nose, Or Whatever Adam Decides This Night's Hinkathonic, Protosonic Number's Called!"

Surely not. That would have required an extra performance after "This Night" where the song was called "'s". ;)

Not to mention there was no ' in Numbers Called, at the Forum.
