"Weeeeeeee"

Years on from looking hilariously miserable at Disneyland, Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has become an amusement park meme once again.
 
Twitter user @stellamelos created a hilarious clip blending footage of a plunging rollercoaster expertly timed to the lyrics of "1979." Since getting posted to Reddit, it's gone totally viral.
 
Now instead of just laughing at a soundless photograph, you can hear Corgan singing, "Weeeeeee" in a monotonous croon as the rollercoaster drops.
 
Check out the snippet below.
 
There are also plenty of other musical rollercoaster mashups; check out Ian Curtis and Freddie Mercury adaptations below, as well.
 
And in case you're wondering if Corgan is capable of having fun at amusement parks, he confirmed last year that he did indeed return to Disneyland — and he had a great time.
