[@sarakaster]

From one of the best albums ever made!

[@chaoticoldbore]

It's in my top 10 of all time.

[@Funktaro5]

Yeah, this album and Mellon Collie are absolute masterpieces, IMO. They have some good songs after that but never approach those heights again as full albums. Both of those absolutely must be listened to though, if you've ever liked a Pumpkins song ever.

[@Bipolarama]

Im taking the win

[@maxtew6521]

The band was at a magical time in their development, Billy was a unbearable taskmaster, and Butch Vig is genius at putting together complete, enjoyable records. It was serendipity.

[@sarakaster]

@@maxtew6521 VERY well put.

[@dfbovey]

My personal favorite Smashing Pumpkins song. Lots of summer memories to this one.

[@sussychachi]

I have no memories with this song but this song makes me think of happy times I had before depression took me lol and the processes before trying to adjust to growing up lol

[@josephham5216]

Yup Mayonnaise is my favorite of theirs as well. I love love love the song. Something about it.

[@Shaffc71]

Broken heart in the mid 90’s

[@moleman1976]

Mine as well - that wailing "I just want to be me" is so, so powerful! It's such a beautiful song, with such great lyrics!

[@mikegonzo1262]

The album this song is on "Siamese Dream" is one of the best albums ever. Every song on it is fantastic.

[@wonderland4515]

It’s probably my favourite album of all time

[@Bentzel75]

True.

[@ajjames5489]

I'm 38 and this is still my feel good album. Siamese dream that is.

[@the4bidden142]

36 😎👍

[@paradox1241]

38 and right with ya

[@jonny26281]

Me too. And I’m 38 as well. Soma is my favourite

[@kitoyobeni1]

49 and this a desert island disc for me. I found the Pumpkins through the Singles soundtrack and started with the Gish CD singles and EPs when this came out and just dominated my life for a long time.

[@finfan_ttv]

38 as well my dude, killer album. Middle school days

[@adamwaite2932]

This song has always given me the chills every time I listen to it. It’s fantastic.

[@the4bidden142]

Agreed.

[@erikvernarsky256]

this song means really lot for me...when I was going through my hardest time this was cure for my depression...this song made me cry and I was not that strong to not cry when listening to that...and crying still helped me in my biggest darkness...I love this song and I want to thank Billy for writing this because it probably saved my life...and thank you for doing so nice reaction...love you guys...big like on video

[@Shammrock62]

Finally! Masterpiece. Soma, Drown, Hummer some of the greatest works of music. Siamese Dream the album is on my list of "pick 5 albums to listen to for the rest of you life" list

[@kymberlishea2036]

BP O Hummer. What an epic song🙌🤘

[@layneb_7d122]

Soma is a must

[@CarlosLiberated]

Yep. 5 albums. Both Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie on this list.

[@batracotoxinas]

What are your other picks?

[@mr.anderson6040]

I agree I've been listening to it since it came out and I'm not even going to tell you how old I am LOL

[@MrRaErickson]

This is my favourite Pumpkins tune. Second favourite is Drown

[@khellendross3573]

Drown is so good.

[@sobo2001]

Best songs on Meloncholy = Here is No Why, Porcelina

[@Funktaro5]

​@@sobo2001 Porcelina is fucking phenominal, but Galapogos is right up there for me too.

[@daz1676]

Me too

[@AltCTRLF8]

you can ask 100 SP fans what their favorite song is, and it’s possible to get 100 different answers. that’s how good the pumpkins are!

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

"One of these songs that can grow with you." That's most Pumpkins songs. They're magic.

[@PHLCoffeeSnob]

Saw Smashing Pumpkins last year. Best concert I've ever been to.

[@geocentricfe6908]

Saw them too last summer. The new album is great too!

[@heliosvice]

I've watched them in July here in Portugal, and they surprised me top 5 best concert's i've been to without a doubt!

[@chrismeyer7890]

saw them last summer also. Won front row tickets from the radio station in town. They sounded phenominal

[@minimaster197]

Song has a silly name but it's one of their best ever. Soma and Geek USA next (they come before this one and form the holy trinity). Also they definitely have really heavy songs as well

[@MacGuffinExMachina]

This and Spaceboy are my favorites. Lots of great memories attached. I remember my older sister having this back when I was in Kindergarten or first grade, and I thought the blonde kid on the cover was pretty.

[@xerodelacroix5552]

It's named after the guitar he recorded it with.

[@rehanpanditaratne9341]

Geek USA! Such a tune.

[@jonny26281]

Soma.... that song has everything for me

[@dweezilbettencourt9156]

@@rehanpanditaratne9341 Yes! That's my fave.

[@eriggle83]

I absolutely hate mayonnaise. I absolutely love this song.

[@0okamino]

I'm guessing that Vin's 9.7 would have been a 20 if the title had been anything else. :D

[@kymberlishea2036]

Heath Riggle same 🤘

[@therealcleany]

Heath Riggle you’ve never tasted actual good mayonnaise I guess (the Belgian type).

[@JungleScene]

Billy Corgan on the song title: "Say you write a song about a chandelier, and the chandelier gives off light. And the light is the color red and red reminds you of the color your not supposed to wear around a bull. So you name the song 'Cow.'"

[@craigmatthews4289]

The song title is mayonaise (misspelled on purpose). Corgan got the name for the song by looking in his refrigerator. I always thought the word smashing in Smashing Pumpkins was an adjective...not a verb..like, the pumpkins looked smashing :)

[@Brinta3]

craig matthews It is an adjective.

[@xerodelacroix5552]

No, it's name after the off-white guitar with wiring issues he recorded this with. He got the name of the guitar by looking in his fridge.

[@craigmatthews4289]

@@xerodelacroix5552 Not according to Wikipedia and several other sites. He did record the song with a guitar that whistled, but he didn't name the guitar Mayonaise

[@xerodelacroix5552]

@@craigmatthews4289 There's varying stories, but the more accepted among fans is the guitar one. The guitar is speculated to be the off-white now faded to yellow 1974 Strat he sold on Reverb recently.

[@daz1676]

I did too but then i learned that smashing pumpkins is something that alot of young americans do/done. They used to ride around at halloween smashing all the pumpkins with bats. Sounds kinda fun

[@jacquelinemsoucek1542]

This is my favorite song of ALL TIME. It moves me emotionally on such a deep level that is not necessarily directly from the lyrics but guided by my interpretation of them. The first time I saw this song performed live I broke into tears and couldn't stop until the song was over. I play this song on my guitar any time I need to work through any chaos in my life.

[@jacquelinemsoucek1542]

I've always connected "I just want to be me" with "when I can, I will". You go through life trying to find who you are and be the best version of yourself but some people and situations made that hard.

[@jacquelinemsoucek1542]

Sorry, I could clearly talk about and listen to this song all day. 😁

[@LucielZ1]

Siamese Dream is Smashing Pumpkin´s MASTERPIECE.

[@peterm282]

OMFG Siamese Dream was the soundtrack of my high school life. And the songs and lyrics pretty much sum up my high school life. Mayonaise was probably my favorite. Back in the day, Corgan said about naming songs "say you have a song about a chandelier, it gives off a reddish light that reminds you of the colour you dont wear around bulls, so you name the song "Cow".

[@crafty1096]

The song title is “Mayonaise.” It has one “N” on purpose That is to make it man-aise. Just like when you are sick and feel bad the term is called “Malaise.” It’s also title this because Billy Corgan the lead singer was looking into his refrigerator and saw mayonnaise, and thought about the mnemonic“My Own Eyes.” So the title has a duel meaning. Billy Corgan has famously stated that he wrote “A lot of BS lines together.” This song was supposed to be random lines that Corgan liked independent of each other and threw together. Corgan stated though there was an actual subconscious meaning that he didn’t realize. Love with MoM and a certain girl who he flirted back and forth with but it never blossomed. He’s trying to be himself and independent, yet realizes that’s why love never bloomed with his Mom and a girl from his past the way he wanted it to because of being closed off.

[@Kurama363]

"Mayonaise" stands for the phonetics of 'My Own Eyes'

[@crafty1096]

Kurama363 It’s two mnemonics “My Own Eyes” and “Man-aise” Thats why “Mayonaise” only has one “N” It’s a mnemonic of the word “Malaise” where you feel sick and bad.

[@bassman4632]

Boy shouldn't ol' Vin feel stupid for avoiding this song because he doesn't like the condiment.

[@bigbirdmcdermott7594]

Shit, I bought ‘‘tis album when it was released in 93, and never new that

[@the4bidden142]

Finally, my eyes are opened 😎

[@bryanbean264]

One of my favorite bands ever. Takes me back to high school. You guys should listen to more pumpkins they're such a distinct sound.

[@jeffwalker5514]

This started out as a reaction video and quickly evolved into a counseling session. The Pumpkins will do that to you.

[@Funktaro5]

To Forgive is a Smashing Pumpkins song that is directly about the idea of forgiving your parents for previous wrongdoings. I think Vin would love analyzing that song.

[@brandonkoch3852]

I would love for them to to that song as well!

[@natewilliams1062]

Wow. Again. I am blown away by your openness. Siamese Dream was an amazing album. I’m a Chicago guy. Maybe I’m biased but, dam. That drummer and Billy’s guitar are a real thing. Keep it up!

[@dream_in_digital]

I just adore you both! Thank you for sharing so much of yourselves with us. It's refreshing to listen to such relatable and thoughtful conversations in your videos.

[@sarajade5111]

I adore this song so hard.

Maybe my favorite Pumpkins song. I was lucky enough to grow up in the grunge era.

[@jakebulette6485]

So lucky. Im stuck in the rap hip hop era

[@therealcleany]

Funny, I never actually considered SP as being “grunge”.

[@jakebulette6485]

Robert Maclean it was in the grunge era. Doesn’t mean it’s grunge

[@stratyocasterson9237]

I often will scream 'When I can, I will' in the car when this song plays. It's a reaffirmation of the fact that tomorrow will be there.

[@bassman4632]

I haven't known the lyrics to this song for 26 years.

[@bschuler6216]

Same here.

[@revylokesh1783]

Memories of teenage days. Good times... It's the sound of melancholy and teenage innocence (lost).

Siamese Dream is one of a dozen or so albums I consider to be near perfect from start to finish.

Mayonnaise is a great condiment, but Mayonaise is an amazing song!

Love this song, and Vin likes mayonnaise. You should do "Hummer" next, another introspective gem. Also, Im from Chicago...they are a local band!

[@kotavu6004]

I’m a sophomore in high school again haha...Used to rock Mayo constantly back when this album dropped

[@geocentricfe6908]

Yessss! Smashing Pumpkins! Greatest band ever!

[@bryanmartin1053]

This and Stand Inside Your Love are the best SP songs, thanks for doing this one!

[@DanielECarroll]

I think Sori is trying to say it is “Melodic”. The Melody is soothing, smooth, and captures the ears and heart. It is a beautiful song. And Billy Corgan’s voice has the perfect tone to compliment the big guitar sound that is driving the melody.

[@RyanMovingViolationz]

This is my wife's favorite song ever and it's pretty high up on my list too

[@sorrowsuperstar10]

yup. my favorite track from the Smashing Pumpkins ...thank u

[@samuspiffy11]

That whole "Siamese Dream" album is fire

[@acwaid]

Great reaction, as always. Billy Corgan is one of the most underrated guitar players of his generation. Literally nothing he can’t do on it, usually plays most of the instruments on the studio albums also. Check out their live show they did at The Metro, a venue in Chicago they played a lot before they got big. Went back in 1993 (I think) to put on a live show when they were blowing up. One of the best shows I have ever seen. Soma, Rocket, and Starla are some I would particularly check out. It’ll blow your minds. Props to both of you for raising bucks for the hurricane victims. You two have good souls. Oh, when are you doing Floyd’s The Wall live listen? Keep up the excellent work.

[@biss1051]

Please shut up the phone. It is so irritating.

[@davidmatheny1993]

This is my favorite SP track. Number two is "Thru the Eyes of Ruby"

[@endlessnameless3996]

I was sixteen, had just gotten my driver's license, and Siamese Dream stayed in my car's cassette player for months. I would give anything to relive that for just a day.

"Say you write a song about a chandelier, and the chandelier gives off light. And the light is the color red and red reminds you of the color your not supposed to wear around a bull. So you name the song 'Cow.'" -Billy Corgan on how he names his songs.

[@brandonkoch3852]

This is the song that made me love the pumpkins.been a diehard fan ever since.billy is a great songwriter and a producer.most people dont know that.he helped produce breaking Benjamins first album.the stigmata and lost highway movie soundtracks among many more.he can seem very egotistical at times.but he is just a weirdo like the rest of us pumpkin heads.

[@dailytaylor]

Billy has said that the title refers to the only thing that was in his fridge when he was broke and depressed before the Pumpkins hit it big. It captures the desperation he was feeling at the time. It was a track that was co-written bu James Iha.

[@laurawichmann9434]

Thanks for reminding me how much I love smashing pumpkins

[@KyleS.1987]

Billy Corgan laid down some of the best lead guitar of the 90's on this album. Ya'll gotta check out "Geek USA"!

[@toddstarks226]

Probably my favorite guitar riff to open and end a song ever.

[@tranerecks]

One of my favorites. From what heard, Billy Corgan picked up that strat for$60 at a pawn shop that's what made the screachy sound.

[@prevost1974]

It’s my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song .. timeless

[@MikoSquiz]

Some of their songs *are* really hard. There's a handful that are just a wall of distortion and screaming. Along with strummy ballads, occasional electronic dance track, guitar pop, epics with huge string sections, kind of a wide gamut.

[@thanospat6400]

Good times good vibes! I forgot I lived through these days, thanks guys✌

[@xerodelacroix5552]

It's named after his white Stratocaster that had a grounding issue, which is how he got that perfect feedback whenever he let off playing the chords. That thing that almost sounds like a harmonic in the "try to understand, that when I can, I will" parts are him letting it feed back.

[@VinAndSori]

Whoa!

[@roberteaves5108]

love this song!!

[@joewillburn]

Billy Corgan got the title for this song after looking in his refrigerator. Corgan had many interesting names for songs. He said this about coming up with titles: "Say you write a song about a chandelier, and the chandelier gives off light. And the light is the color red and red reminds you of the color your not supposed to wear around a bull. So you name the song 'Cow.'"

NOSTALGIA BOMB ! WOW ! IM BACK IN THE 90'S LOVE

[@Funktaro5]

Wow ... this, Love Reign O'er Me (even if it was a cover), and Hey You. Finally you guys are back to doing my kind of music!

[@SadPeterPan1977]

Smashing Pumpkins are a band whose music isn't always easy to pin down as one particular genre. You said you thought that they put out loud music and there is definitely plenty of that with some songs that are essentially metal songs but they've always mixed it up with gentler songs and Billy's voice, which can sounds harsh and puts a lot of people off, is also capable of that dreamy sound that you identified in this. There is actually a semi-acoustic version of Mayonaise which is what he recorded the lyrics to that were then mixed in with the heavier guitars to give the album version of Mayonaise that quality. Check out 'Obscured' from their Pisces Iscariot album. You won't regret it.

[@bschuler6216]

They were pretty shoe-gazey early on.

[@dailytaylor]

Love this one, makes me nostalgic for sure. :-)

Mayonnaise is the greatest pumpkins song. If you disagree, fight me.

[@chrismeyer7890]

Gladly, it was Soma. And it isn't even close

[@Tdub0911]

This is my favorite Pumpkins song ever. One problem is that I just got the album ('93?), was listening to this song and got a call that my uncle had died. Now every time I hear it I start breaking down because it is seared into my being. Regardless, this is an awesome song.

Also, regarding the song title, Billy Corgan did an interview before this album came out and he was asked why the song Rhinoceros was called Rhinoceros. This was Billy Corgan’s answer: “Okay, I’ll tell you the process I use for naming my songs. Say you’re gonna write a song about a chandelier. The light gives off the color red. Red reminds you of the color you don’t wear around a bull. So you call the song ‘Cow’.”

[@melissaszczurko2423]

Very late to the party and you may already know this but Billy had an insanely rough upbringing. His dad was a hermon addict and his mom abandoned the family. He was brought up in foster care with a very uncaring family so that's why a lot of his pain comes out in his music. Pumpkins are my favorite band and this is my favorite song by them. BTW, love your channel!❤
