Mainman Billy Corgan teamed up with Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee on the album and he reveals the sticksman is responsible for turning the track around.

Corgan tells NME: "Drum + Fife was originally a folk song. We really had a problem getting it off its almost dour Irish balladeer aspect and I must give a lot of credit to Tommy Lee, because he's the one who turned the corner.

"Without saying it, he was reacting in a way that told me he thought it was a bit boring. Tommy loves energy - Tommy wants to feel excitement. So he's playing the song and he's like, ' I know this is a good song but it's just not working.' He said to me, 'Do you mind if I tinker around with it?' He got on the computer and used his experience in dance music, turned the corner and found some loops and some beats."
