It may seem coincidental that the duo of Robbie Furze & Milo Cordell, aka Britain's 'The Big Pink', stopped by BBC's Radio 1 and decided to cover The Smashing Pumpkins classic "Mayonaise" shortly after the heavily hyped release of the "Pumpkins" - 'Gish' & 'Siamese Dream' reissues. However, the pair have apparently been covering the track at their shows for quite some time. While their version is slightly more stripped down (for obvious reasons), it still seems to strike a familiar chord, one that even the ever-arrogant Billy Corgan would be hard pressed not to acknowledge.
We dare you to listen to this and not immediately have the urge to dig out some of your old Grunge records, assuming you were smart enough to hang on to them through that whole "Rap-Rock" musical apocalypse of the late 90's..
