By interesting you mean Ween right? Ween is my youthful soul. My expression and freakishness. Sleeping in strange beds drunk on white rum. When Ween was on my self was intact.
@@seanbrennan5192 The 60s-80s were AMAZING times for music and I feel like the artists in the 90s took all those decades and mashed them up in a way that we will never see again. So I guess for me the 90s represented the best from the years prior PLUS massive innovation and creativity.
One of my old boyfriends had a cat we named Sasha for this song and would sing “my girl Sasha, looking good on the street” to her nonstop in the highest voices we could muster 🩵😹
I heard this song before I saw what they looked like, way, way back in the day. I thought this was some old Al Green, soul song, I thought this was something from the 70’s Motown era that I never heard before. I was flabbergasted to find out it was ween. When I learned how to play this song, it show me how fucking brilliant this is.
@@hippiecheezburger5457 it is so funny you say that bc I was just going to mention that I heard The Dead before knowing what the rest of the band other than Jerry looked like, and then saw the album Go To Heaven at a record store in all its corny cheesy windswept glory and though to myself “THAT is what they look like?!!?”
This is my favorite song of theirs. Gene is so good at singing. I would get drunk with one of my friends and he would play the guitar and I would try to hit those highs.
Gene is underrated as a singer. Dean is underrated as a guitarist. In fact, everyone in Ween is underrated; they can play any style or genre of music: pop, rock, blues, jazz, tejano, psychedelica, soul, funk, disco, electronica...anything. It upsets me that Ween gets no respect. And sadly, this song is not on Spotify for some weird reason.
Yeah there's no shot computers don't listen to you dawg I was literally just singing this to myself while cleaning up my room and when I go on TH-cam afterwards this is the first video I see.
New Hope Brilliance! So happy I live here!!!!!! 55.8 years old and heard Ween before I went to college in UMCP . graduated 1990. Lived in the Doylestown area

I only ever heard this song because Daft Punk played it on their Essential Mix in '97 and always just figured it was from the 70's! Shoulda probably realised it was newer because of the Boyz II Men line, however the tune was playing right as side 1 on my C-90 finished, so maybe it was missing from my copy? AND they turned off the deck and let it slow down to a stop right as the "mannequin was..." verse was repeating so I didn't catch it then either!!! I'm super surprised to find out it's from the 90's!
This song is like audio clickbait... think about how many people heard this song and went out and bought the album, only to listen to it and wonder just what the hell they actually bought lol
Chad Ginsburg of the band CKY in the crowd at 2:16 (next to the dude with the red sign, who was his bandmate in Rudy + Blitz at the time) and again on the fence in the upper right corner at 2:41. It's wild that Spike Jonze directed this and their worlds collided again just a few years later.
@@dyslexicbatnam1350 The desire of those who voted to repeal Roe versus Wade to save many lives of unborn babies does not reflect their lack of desire to save a lot of people from becoming homeless. I don't see the SCOTUS making rulings anytime soon to help save a lot of people from becoming homeless. Homelessness can lead to premature death. It can also lead to drug use, mental problems, legal problems, etc. If one is going to look to save lives, why not try to save everyone then? Do you think that when you were a kid, your parents were okay with you only cleaning half of your bedroom, only finishing half of your homework, only cutting half of the lawn, only doing half of your chores, etc.? How are those apples?
The fact that a band like Ween could shoot a big budget video proves the 90s was the most interesting decade for music.
Directed by Spike Jonze.

@@OhanaFilms Ween for sure was influenced by those times. Weens diversity never ceases to amaze me. They have such a wide variety of styles

@@danielstoddart they do have freedom of 76 on spotify
@@KingBoner But only the live version, not the studio version which is the one with this video.
@@danielstoddart the one on spotify isn't the studio version?
genuinely probably the greatest most heartfelt song about Philly
they need to cameo on It's always Sunny
Thank you Dean and Gene for reuploading this incredible heist film
your welcome
@@deangianotti906 do an sequel.
Ween throwing the official Freedom of '76 video on their TH-cam channel in glorious 480p is probably the brownest thing to happen in 2022.
brownest?
word
The brownest.
Lmao
Still down in Brown Town 2024.
the backup vocals on this song are so beautiful
The face that Deaner has the cuff key in his mouth the whole bus ride is great. he knew they were gonna make it outta there...
I was held in jail for a MONTH over false charges. This was my anthem inside. Freedoms of the body, and freedom of the mind.
Hope ya doin well, Ween loves you.
@@xwhite2020 Thanks man. It's been a year since my false arrest. I got released on 5/2/2023. 5+2 = 7, 2x3= 6. Freedom of 76 my man.

My grandparents used to live on aquatong Rd . I used to go into downtown any chance I can.
Ween keeps popping up in my recommended a lot lately and I have to say I’m not mad about it
Singing falsetto is now one of my New Years Resolutions. INspired!!
Mannequin was filmed at Woolworth's warms my heart to this day
I really hope it was
I miss Woolworth's💖
I literally read this comment as those words were being sung. It’s the little things in life.
...Boyz to men however are not in fact keeping up the beat as well as you think they would have
I thought it was Wanamakers
Ween needs to play this on its always sunny.
This song is Philly Soul.
@Donald Trump Father of the Vaccine How?

how have I never seen this
Best Song Prince Never Wrote !! Shout outs Hyphen !!!
B&B landed me here from nostalgia of 1995 in an episode -Bus trip- "Ween kicks ass!"
This song is like audio clickbait... think about how many people heard this song and went out and bought the album, only to listen to it and wonder just what the hell they actually bought lol
Who's Here in 2024 and Love the Gener and Deaner Ween's and want Make This Country Affordable Again!?!
Legend has it the freedom Brothers never got out
Best movie of the year!

Love the wa-wa pedal in the 1st solo! Not quite 'white room', but nice work! Guitar synth solo is an endless delight!
I pray and hope you can bring us an HD version of Even if you Dont one day
"See, that's what nads are for. Bunghole."

Thanks Mike

Gene and Dean so swol they carrying that bell like it's made out of foam or something.
Deaner really could have been the next James Deen if he wanted. What a jawline.
Sausage
Omg they sing this song. 😮😮🎉❤
Dave Driewitz played in my band and I never saw this video
Hearing this again after getting into geese i googled it and they said they "listen to a ton of ween" and that makes sense
This is 100% weens best music video
Kinda sad we never got a Ween movie right now
What do you mean, it's the reason It's Pat will stay forever relevant!
I love how careful the theives are with freedom
this was directed by Spike Jonze
Free dem brothers
10/10
So ducking good
Before the internet, this rules so hard!!!!
This right after the video for “I can’t put my finger on it” goes wild
God loves you
Mikey Riese, Thank You for helping me get clean from heroin and showing me how to get brown.
To the rest of yall: buy Mike's hat pins 📌 👌 🤣
Didn't Spike Jonze direct this?
It's a Philly jawn!!!
I'm in this video. It was banned from MTV, but appeared in an episode of Beavis & Butthead. I was 12.
Why was it banned?
@@enjoyjared the liberty Bell being stolen was thought to be too controversial. It seemed ridiculous at the time.
