Acoustic cover of Mayonaise - Smashing Pumpkins performed by tribute band Butternut Squash Engineered and mixed by Jesse Sewell. Recorded in Canberra, Australia.
Wow!! That was the best I have ever heard anyone cover. You were so in sync with one another end the vocals were spot on. Wish I could have seen this in person. I never leave comments
Guys this is such a beautiful cover! Please don’t try to imitate Corgan’s voice, you have a great unique voice and should use that every time you sing. ❤
In fairness, Billy Corgen's voice already made us lose our fkn minds! 😆🙉 All due respect to his lyrical genious... but nobody should ever try to replicate his voice!
@@thatsmeinthepic i think that's a bit harsh, it seems like you're focusing on what's different instead of what's similar. try listen without antipathetic ears, he got the tone quite similar. some parts are nearly the exact notes and tone even. sure, there's room for improvement. "doesn't sound a thing like" is far from true however, only if you specifically focus on the parts that are different could you say that, in which case you're really not giving a fair criticism, because he did a pretty decent job.
Whenever i try to to cover Billy corgan i realize how hard it is. He doesn’t sing he straight emotes. It’s pretty unbelievable. There’s no trying to do it. If the universe lets it happen well there it is. A really nice version. Fine job guys. One of my favorite songs ever
This was a good impression of Corgen, but I came here in search of a cover that doesn't have that nasal destroyer sound about it. Guess I'll have to keep searching. I love Corgan's depth of lyrics... I just wish he had the same depth of voice! Actually I love Corgan's voice when it's smooth. But he constantly alternates between smooth and nails on a chalkboard. But i suppose it's perfectly fitting, really. By lulling us into comfort and then periodically making our ears bleed, he effectively conveys the rollercoaster of his inner suffering.
Lyrics: Fool enough to almost be it Cool enough to not quite see it Doomed Pick your pocket, full of sorrow Run away with me tomorrow June Try and ease the pain Somehow, feel the same Well, no one knows Where our secrets go I send a heart to all my dearies When your life is so, so dreary Dream I'm rumored to the straight and narrow While the harlots of my perils Scream And I fail But when I can, I will Try to understand That when I can, I will Mother, weep the years I'm missing All our time can't be given Back Shut my mouth and strike the demons That cursed you and your reasons Out of hand and out of season Out of love and out of feeling So bad When I can, I will Words defy the plans When I can, I will Fool enough to almost be it And cool enough to not quite see it Dull enough to always feel this Always old, I'll always feel this No more promise, no more sorrow No longer will I follow Can anybody hear me? I just want to be me When I can, I will Try to understand That when I can, I will
I have Billy Corgan's voice crawling through my skin. Sorry, jk, jk. I love ol' Billy Boy. I really like his voice a lot whenever he's not setting the nasal monster loose.. Anyway, this was a good cover.
Yeah same here... the music from Smashing Pumpkins connected with my soul on the deepest sub-atomic level. Mayonaise is absolutely incredible and beautiful. i have suffered with bad depression, among other things in my life. The lyrics "i just want to Be Me... when i can, i will.." is extremely deep and personal. Sometimes a person with depression, or any type of the mental illnesses out there, feel like they are prisoners trapped inside of thier own brain, shackled in chains, Looking out on the chaos unfolding Outside, while being helpless on the inside and weeping. Today is the greatest. Tomorrow will always be infinite sadness. "I've always been afraid to die, but i think that I'm more afraid to live." -The Aeroplane Flies High 🧡
Es uno de los mejores covers que he visto, con su propia escencia los intérpretes no dejan de ser ellos, excelente preformance , está canción la amo de años, y no escucho covers de la misma porque todos están mal interpretados. Felicidades , después de 3 años y aún se comenta... From Ecuador
Sometimes... But I guess it's kinda hard to sound like Billy. At first I hated his voice, but it just grew one me. A bit like I had with J. Mascis. A wall of guitars and at first you think the voices are no match but after a while you realise they're a perfect fit! ;-)
Me too man. When MTV used to play disarm 50 times a day, I hated the song and hated his voice until I started listening to the whole siamese dream album, which I only did because my sister owned it.
I must confess I hate Disarm, for me it's a bad song... And I only own Gish, Siamese dream and Pisces iscariot, I haven't given the other albums much attention because at the time i found them to contain not enough heavy songs. I used to own Mellon Collie but gave it away to someone.
I think it's an overated song for sure. One of my favorites is hello kitty cat from pisces. Billy makes some really good heavy songs and I wish he would go back to doing that instead of selling out like most other popular artists.
me and a couple of friends are performing this for a showcase type thing at my school, me and my friend will be dancing and the other two are playing this. used this as an example of what we're looking for. this is great!
F*ck, I really like SP and never listen covers for their tracks better then this ever. This is awesome! Continue in the same way! Best regards from Russia
Great job guys! Had goosebumps which is not often when I'm listening covered songs. Perfect sound of guitars and played with the feeling which is important when you play SP songs. Greetings from Poland! ;)
This song brings nostalgia... me riding a bus to San Francisco with my best friends the hippie fashion was in style in the early 90s and oregano baggies.
Great job, I really loved it. I do love your true voice, as others have said ..which I can hear in parts within this. I’d sooooo love to hear you guys do this song with just your true voice. Loved all of this but there was a sweet spot (among many..) that I keep replaying.. around 2:40 in the song, I was literally blown away by your vocals. Amazing. & wow what amazing guitar playing! As someone who also plays guitar, this is one of the hardest songs to cover in my opinion. Nailed it❤
I was in a band in NYC in 1993, We played a lot of Cure songs and 80s band songs to warm up, my 2 friends were amazingly talented for our age on the guitar and picked this song up in a few days, my drumming then was a five then and they were playing at a nine...Jimmy Chamberlin is a beast on that LP , he even said he threw in the kitchen sink when it came to those songs, I could not play one song after 100 times...they were my best friends,But my drums couldn't hold so I split the band.
My dudes...this is so good!!! If you had stayed with just the guitar it would have been good already, but then the vocals are incredible. So impressed. Rock on, guys!
We're back with new full band covers live in 2023. Check our profile for more details!
Cover disarm! Do it like an MTV unplugged
Wow!! That was the best I have ever heard anyone cover. You were so in sync with one another end the vocals were spot on. Wish I could have seen this in person. I never leave comments
Guys this is such a beautiful cover! Please don’t try to imitate Corgan’s voice, you have a great unique voice and should use that every time you sing. ❤
Very nice cover....woaw.
Please guys whats your tunning both of you ? Your in E standart or Eb ?
The world stops everytime that intro played
Vega Winnfield : agreed it’s pretty hard to not live this song beginning to end
Like**
Fck yeah
Yes it does.
I'd agree with this statement if the world wasnt already motionless....and flat.
One of the best Smashing Pumpkin covers on the internet!!!
Ain't that the truth!
Wut.
The guy in the blue shirt is my accountant
Idk why, but I find that hilarious.
I believe this
You have a cool accountant
I don’t doubt what you have told me
Can he do my taxes too?
Corgan is a musical genius.
*was...
Just like Noel Gallagher
James Iha wrote the music, Corgan wrote the lyrics.
Erick Otso
Untrue.
Billy wrote >99.9% of the SP catalog
Erick Otso that’s so false lol
How do you guys only have 600 subs?! This was a damn near flawless acoustic cover. Criminally underrated.
why doesn't this have more views?? very impressive cover
Because it's currently a generation which prefers garbage music
70k views is kinda a lot 🤷♂️
100% shared this a few times. Today is my first time seeing this.
@@Sadbastard 3 years ago
@@kinggavvv and now it's over 90k
Play like the guitarists and you meet everyone’s expectations. Sing like the singer and everyone loses their fn minds!
If you don't put this quote on a T-shirt or bumper sticker, I will.
i'm stealing this. haha

@@themaggattack Oh you mean like Stephen Lynch - What if the guy from The Smashing Pumpkins lost his car keys?
yeah but the vocals sounded nothing like billy’s
People saying he needs to use his natural singing voice.... they're a tribute band. That's part of the point.
One guy here gets it
But he doesn’t sound a thing like Billy either.
@@thatsmeinthepic i think that's a bit harsh, it seems like you're focusing on what's different instead of what's similar. try listen without antipathetic ears, he got the tone quite similar. some parts are nearly the exact notes and tone even. sure, there's room for improvement.

One of the most beautiful harmonies of two guitars
Just don’t ruin it with singing
Yeah, Mayonnaise and Soma are incredible guitar harmonies
This was exceptional.
Would love to hear it with your natural voice. Even Billy doesn't do Billy's voice well...
honestly he did billy better than Billy. But it felt too forced
right?!
Even then he does the Billy vocals vibe very well
Yeah, that's my thought as well. But nonetheless, enjoyable cover.
This was a good impression of Corgen, but
I came here in search of a cover that doesn't have that nasal destroyer sound about it. Guess I'll have to keep searching.

Unbelievable… this is one of the best songs I’ve had the pleasure to grow with for the past 20 years
Lyrics:
Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Doomed
Pick your pocket, full of sorrow
Run away with me tomorrow
June
Try and ease the pain
Somehow, feel the same
Well, no one knows
Where our secrets go
I send a heart to all my dearies
When your life is so, so dreary
Dream
I'm rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils
Scream
And I fail
But when I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will
Mother, weep the years I'm missing
All our time can't be given
Back
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
That cursed you and your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling
So bad
When I can, I will
Words defy the plans
When I can, I will
Fool enough to almost be it
And cool enough to not quite see it
Dull enough to always feel this
Always old, I'll always feel this
No more promise, no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me?
I just want to be me
When I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will
The best Mayonese cover on TH-cam hands down
I can see why this video is the top result for covers of this song, you have Billy Corgan's voice running through your veins! Awesome cover, cheers!
I have Billy Corgan's voice crawling through my skin.
Sorry, jk, jk. I love ol' Billy Boy. I really like his voice a lot whenever he's not setting the nasal monster loose.. Anyway, this was a good cover.
Nice job. The best song of the ‘90s, and the crown jewel of the album that helped me through the most difficult part of my teens.

Hehe, I'm a big fan of that too. Probably the only song I blasted though my stereo on maxiumum volume, it just kicks off and keeps on going! ;-)

I found this video in 2020. Excellent job. Saw the Smashing Pumpkins at the Coliseum in Hampton, Va when the Mellon Collie album came out.
holy fuck the singing goes crazy here, amazing
the totally nails the billy corgan voice without being cringey
one of the tightest pieces I've ever seen. Amazing work
Easily watched this more times than I cared to count since yesterday.
Absolutely brilliant
No other way to describe this than perfect (including the imperfections).
You NAILED the vocals. Incredible!
Incredible. You can feel the passion.
Probably my favorite Pumpkins song of all time . It's pure genius. Great cover! 👌👌👌
Finally someone made this song justice, nice!!
Great singing voice
