I‘ll never forget how a comment on „Ocean man“ made me listen to the entire album „the mollusk“ on a beach and accordingly fall in love with this band.
@@samfish2550 I was lucky to have been on vacation during that time. I usually don't live anywhere near a beach. But it was a perfect experience - one of those I'll never forget.
Ween songs are either a transcendental plunge into unknown universes of tone and sub-harmonics, or a ditty about licking various private parts put to the noise of a trash compactor falling into a pile of farting dentist's drill's that is also simultaneously a transcendental plunge into distant universes.
Ha ha. Was a great version on a two CD release they did. I Think. It was so long I’ve since lost the CDs. It is, in my humble opinion, the most brown song they’ve ever done. In fact If you wish to explain how brown is used by Ween and it’s fans it is probably the song you should play for them. So glad people are still turning on to Ween. Enjoy!
The best ween show is the one you are at. Until of course you see them again. Been seeing them live since 1997. Can honestly say I’ve only ever had one show where they were a tad off. Which meant they were a little less amazing than usual.
gotta be the best band i ever heard (less for their impact/quality but for what they did in getting me into music as a whole), The Pod's my favorite album of all time
I'm a big fan of the argus, but its tied with about a dozen other songs on my "favorite ween songs" ranking. it gets even better when you start digging into the B sides, rarities and unreleased tracks lol
I think most rock fans who don't know would be surprised if they gave them a listen. I know I was when I was introduced. I only knew them from Beavis and Butthead, then a coworker and I smoked a joint after work and he fired up the Mollusk.
@xaviere1644 well the worst one for me is “I don’t want it” from Quebec, the song itself it sad enough but once the solo hits……goddamn it’s waterfalls nearly every time, Deaner is the man, the one in the video, transdermal celebration, will get me if I’m in the right(or wrong?) headspace. Tried and true will get me sometimes because it reminds me of when I was tripping hard on shrooms and that song was on and I was going through some rough spiritual stuff, still laughed every time they say “could you smell my whole…..life?” Even through tears tripping balls it was funny. Sometimes chocolate town will get me, it’s kinda a sad song. That’s all just from Quebec. White Pepper has a couple, Flutes of chi, that can be a big one for me, exactly where I’m at can be sad at times for me It’s gonna be alright from the mollusk can be real rough when you’re down. All over their discography there’s examples of very emotional but beautiful songs. Glad it’s balanced out by the whacked out stuff, yesterday morning I listened to about eight Ween songs in a row and not one of them were similar in style. I know I did exactly where I’m at which I mentioned before falls into the beautifully emotional type Ween song, then I did it’s gonna be a long night, which sounds like it could be a Motörhead cover. I did waving my dick in the wind, which is like rockabilly jokey goodness, then let me lick your pussy. Which is like ten minutes of funk……pollo asado……I barely even know how to describe that song, but it sure is relaxing. Then gimme a Z o l o f t ….. it’s like the most fucked up elevator music anyone could have ever imagined…….. it was a good morning. Ween is awesome
@@zwood1838 Slight correction there, Gener actually played the solo on "I Don't Want It". He may not shine on guitar very frequently, but like when Deaner sings, he always knocks it out of the park.
@perhapsxarb7226 Thank you for that slight correction, I had no idea, and honestly makes the solo even more impressive to me, the guy who doesn’t usually do the soloing ends up whipping out something that dang beautiful
I remember picking up The Pod on cd from my local record shop, because I recognized them from ocean man, and after listening to it, they instantly became my favorite band
Yep, their best album, quebec, is often the first stop. Then people get to the weird side, which is still often great. Spinal Meningitis Got Me Down and Your Party have been recent favorites of mine.
Very well said. Spinal Meningitis Got Me Down is such a bizarre experience for me. Nothing else like it. In terms of Chocolate And Cheese, I've been really hooked on A Tear For Eddie lately.
The first time I heard Ween I was on at least5 hits of blotter. It was 1994 and we were riding in my friends tricked out thunderbird with 4 15” woofers. Fucking best way to experience that. sensory and emotional overload.
I've been into ween for 20+ years. I was 17 or so when someone played 'push th lil daisies' and 'Pumpin 4 the man' for me. I bought Pure Guava soon after and never looked back. Definitely the album to check out if you want to hear their funny side.
The odyssey truly begins when you sit down and soak up "The Mollusk" in its entirety for the first time in just the right frame of mind. "...mutilated lips give a kiss on the wrist of the worm-like tips of tentacles expanding in my mind, I'm fine, accepting only fresh brine, you can another drop of this... yeah you wish." _That_ is a once in a lifetime experience like no other, brother.
The day the world wakes up to ween they will understand the creative energy that brung so much humor to the modern world and inspired much great works since made and yet to come. Influence from ween is quite literally boundless in our culture and they have all manner of wisdom woven into their poetry, if only people would listen and remember.
Okay so my reaction was normal. I listened all week to birthday boy during withdrawal after relapse, watching Mid90s, then learning my moms best friend collapsed and died. Their music stuck with me because it led me through some very hard times.
That’s how Mutilated Lips made me feel the first time too, not even one of my favorites by them anymore but damn if I didn’t have that song going constantly
After the South Park gig, I promptly listened to their first album. I gotta come back to that but THEN I listened to all of The Mollusk and I about cried I loved it so much. I get them now.
It's weird, my relationship with Ocean Man is the opposite of most people's: I was never a huge fan of Ocean Man when it was released. In fact, the Mollusk was never the album I would listen to all the way though, like The Pod, or 12GCGs, prefering to just jumps to my favorite tracks, which never included the song in question. But then, watching Nickelodeon one day, I heard it, and was like "oh, yeah, from The Mollusk" and went back to check it out, and was like, "man how did I sleep on this, plus the whole album is WAY better now than I thought!" Thank you, Spongebob.
I will always thank spongebob for what it's done for all weenkind. I'm happy you came back around on The Mollusk. It was my intro as it was for a lot of people. But Quebec is what really pulled me in for the long haul.
The entire year of my life when I was 16 was taken up with listening to The Pod. It changed mine & all my friend’s lives xx Thank you WEEN XX Big hugs from the UK my friend XX
I’ve heard of this process. I saw them live for the first time in 1997 and many times since. So I’ve been lucky to be along for much of the ride. It’s funny, playing them in my car I’ve had more than one friend say “this is the same band?”. Go see them. It’s not too hard. The way they tour it’s never more than a few hours away.
@@xaviere1644 as ridiculous as the lyrics are, I always thought the song had a kind of wistful, nostalgic feeling to it. The live in Chicago version especially brings out that side of it.
Literally could be one of my favorite songs ever I’m serious and I love Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd and the Beatles but that is in the top 10. At least at least could be top seven and I’m 53 years old and I’m retired drummer Dude transdermal celebration is not even fair even a train guitarist can’t understand why he did what he did.
@@xaviere1644 I’m a huge Primus fan, have been for decades. Always heard of Ween, just never got around to them. About half a year ago, my 17 year old son showed me Transdermal Celebration. So I got tix for Red Rocks, first time there (we’re out of Florida). THEN I saw Fluffy live on TH-cam. Holy shit. Started sweating all the complications that could fuck up the concert. Saw them, no bad weather, closed with Fluffy. Magical moment with that same 17 year old. Now they’re buy tix on sight, just like Primus.
@@xaviere1644 I was doing a first listen of Ween and put their full album on for a long drive. The first whiplash was after the kick ass first song went into the mellow second one. And then it threw me for loop after loop. But "The Fucked Jam" was the only song that I kept checking to see how long I had left.
It’s unbelievable how amazing Ween is, and when you get it… it’s all over.
You're a weener for life
Incredible song.
its not over. I didn't start knowing life until after i knew Boognish personally.

Piss up a rope, its alright , big jilm, Roses are free, Zoloft and johnny on the spot are some of my favorites. But i love every album they released.
First album I heard by them after SpongeBob was Pure Guava and I just saw them live for the first time last night. One of the best shows I’ve been to.
I envy you
I've seen ween a few times and by far the best shows are around Christmas when you catch them doing a pop up around home.
They’re legends live!
The best ween show is the one you are at. Until of course you see them again.
Been seeing them live since 1997. Can honestly say I’ve only ever had one show where they were a tad off. Which meant they were a little less amazing than usual.
I was really expecting You Fucked Up. Haha.
Another good option
YOU FUCKED UP!!!!!
Just wait til that live Tender Situation hits ❤❤ Hail Boognish babyyyyy
Pure guava was what I heard first, back in early 90’s whilst swimming on a sunny summer afternoon. Mach 10 at sudden speed had me hooked

I think most rock fans who don't know would be surprised if they gave them a listen. I know I was when I was introduced. I only knew them from Beavis and Butthead, then a coworker and I smoked a joint after work and he fired up the Mollusk.
There’s like 15 Ween songs that make me cry like a baby
For example?
Last year I listened to Birthday Boy for the first time on my 20th birthday and it made me cry
