This has to be one of their finest songs, the guitars are AMAZING on this one.

Here's a nice acoustic version :

    Probably the best song off of their greatest album. Now I must go give it a spin.

    Amazing song. I prefer the Siamese version to viewphoria but still love the acoustic. This was the Pumpkins song that really "hit" me, making me realize how legit the Pumpkins were.

    Agreed on all accounts. Best Smashing Pumpkins song. I've never heard this acoustic version, so I'll do that now.

    its always funny how some threads get responses and others dont. Months ago i raved about Mayonaise as one of the most amazing songs of all time. the guitars moan, and sigh, and the lyrics capture life of a teenager perfectly. No one responded to my post.

    Good to see mayonaise get a decent thread.

    The Pumpkins get very little credit for the depth of their songs. Mayonaise and Sweet Sweet are pretty dense songs. Both capture feelings alot of people carry with them

    I nearly wept when I heard them play Hummer live last year!

    Long ago, my friend told me I had to listen to this song and that it was the best song ever. He was right.

    I love Hummer... however, being a childhood friend/nemisis of Billy... I do have to say 1979 is my favorite since I am of course Justine in that song...

    Best song they ever did by miles.
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    Siamese Dream is their best album.....

    That album evokes all the emotions of teen angst in a way nothing else does......it's not contrived.....


    Mayonaise, Hummer, Geek USA, Disarm......man, such an album......

    Totally! I listened to it a few months back at about two in the morning with a couple of my old school mates and we all said the same thing - the nostalgia that album evokes is just incredible.

    Yeah, i can understand that.....

    The songs always take me back to a very specific 2 years (age 14-16) when this album soundtracked my world.....the bus ride to school, hanging out with my friends and learning to play bass, being with my first girlfriend and how the love you feel at that age seems so important and everlasting in its naivity.....

    I find Mayonaise in particular evokes all those memories for me, memories of times which are now a decade ago (I'm now 24)......

    one of the greatest songs of all time
    ..and you will come to find that we are all one mind, capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable
