Who here listens to Ween? How much love for this talented, facetious band is there on facepunch?
Here's some music:
Your Party [from La Cucaracha]
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atgdh0Bnkts[/media]
[quote]There were beverages laid out for the party.
There were candy and spices and tri-colored pastas.
The meat carved was drawn from succulent juices
served on platters of the purest gold
I was calm when we arrived at the party.
I spoke with fervor, embracing the evening.
My wife leaned over and she whispered 'I love you'.
I held her close and we danced.
We had the best time at your party.
The wife and I thank you very much (x2)
Cream puffs and bourbon and the music was louder
My wife was competing in a game of chance
The party raged and the guests were screaming
I could have danced all night
We had the best time at your party.
The wife and I thank you very much (x2)
Later on when we were under the covers,
I closed my eyes, then I drifted to sleep.
I dreamt about me, maybe throwing a party,
and just how great that would be.
And I said
We had the best time at your party.
The wife and I thank you very much (x2)[/quote]
Buckingham Green [live, the studio version is from The Mollusk]
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-oYMsoCc1g[/media]
[quote]A child without an eye
Made her mother cry
Why ask why
She kept her child clean
On Buckingham Green
The children saw the eye
As a sign from God
Descending from the sky
It was alright to dream
Of Buckingham Green
Summon the Queen
Spoke the child of eye
It's time to fly
Turning fire to steam
On Buckingham Green [/quote]
Don't Shit Where You Eat [from Chocolate and Cheese]
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLYNN0cFtOM[/media]
[quote]Don't you ever think of me
When you're outside strollin'
Don't you ever wave the flag
When we're rockin' and rollin'
Don't shit where you eat, my friend
Who said it was hard to climb
A peak that you can't see
I tell ya it's an easy thing
When it's you and me
But don't shit where you eat, my friend
A little food and drink uh huh
Nothin' too fancy
Lamb, veal, and some good ole wine
This is the life for me
But don't shit where you eat, my friend
Doodn doodn doo doo doo doo
Doodn doodn doo doo doo doo
Doodn doodn doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Don't shit where you eat, my friend [/quote]
If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All) [completely irrelevant fan video, the song is off of Quebec]
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msgGYgvIDnk&feature=PlayList&p=1BAD65B3B3C2E7EC&index=0&playnext=1[/media]
[quote]On a free ride home from the embassy
I saw the governor, and his lover holding hands
When I got to my place, I emptied my suitcase
And opened the windows wide
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door?
The time I've spent, working myself to death
Thought that's what you wanted
I thought you needed my help
To make it good again, to make us strong
To make you happy, to push you along
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
I was on my knees, when you knocked me down
The wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out
The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth
Your mother came calling but there was no one around
The trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown
The vultures were circling when the circus left town
I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door?
The time I've spent, working myself to death
Thought that's what you wanted
I thought you needed my help
To make it good again, to make us strong
To make you happy, to push you along
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
I was on my knees, when you knocked me down [/quote]
Buenos Tardes Amigo [from Chocolate and Cheese]
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y--KHIey-xo&feature=related[/media]
[quote]Buenas tardes amigo
Hola, my good friend
Cinco de Mayo's on Tuesday
And I hoped we'd see each other again
You killed my brother last winter
You shot him three times in the back
In the night I still hear mama weeping
Oh mama, still dresses in black
I looked at every fiesta
For you I wanted to greet
Maybe I'd sell you a chicken
With poison interlaced with the meat
You... you look like my brother
Mama loved him the best
He was head honcho with the ladies
Mama always said he was blessed
The village all gathered around him
They couldn't believe what they saw
I said it was you that had killed him
And that I'd find you and upstand the law
The people of the village believed me
Mama... she wanted revenge
I told her I'd see that she was honored
I'd find you and put you to death
So now... now that I've found you
On this such a joyous day
I tell you it was me who killed him
But the truth I'll nevver have to say
Buenas tardes amigo

[quote]Why they wanna see my spine mommy?
Why they wanna see my spine?
It's gonna hurt again mommy
Much worse than last time
Am I gonna see God, mommy?

Smile on mighty Jesus
Spinal Meningitis got me down

Please don't let me die
Stinky vaseline mommy!
Please don't let me die
Am I gonna see God, mommy?
Am I gonna die?
It really hurts mommy!
Am I gonna die?
Smile on mighty Jesus
Spinal Meningitis got me down [/quote]

The Stallion, Pt 3 [from All Request Live, studio version from Pure Guava]

[quote]mach 10 at sudden speed
flying into the wind now
i'm flowing at my feet
something of likeness to you now
i spotted you in the sun
i called your name from a distance
i knew you were the one
i called again
i do declare
i can float in the air
and with some love from above
don't caress the weasel
and don't fall too soon
don't seek the blood from the panther
don't take a trip to you soon
i'm the one
helding the time back from the sun
as i scope the lobe
i am the one who controls the sun
and i know that things will pass
as time elapses
time elapsing through the sound of you;
and the things we could do
just think of the master
trying to fool the blastman
check the cards at the table
scream softly you are able
to see the sign of thine self as
throughout the ages of time
things u thought weren't going to
climb the mountain
see the sun
touch the waves of the earth
feel the grass softly
and don't think for the one you know
i am - screaming backward in the sand
(hey, dude, he's the stallion) [/quote]
Booze Me Up and Get Me High [live video, I don't know if there's an official studio version]
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXNbUHTJBrM[/media]
[quote]All that 'schlager at the bar
Flakes of gold swim in my brain
I ate the worm the night before
And tonight I'll probably do it again
Shotgun Becks down at the Shore
I've got a friend at the liquor store
Deaner likes his red wind dry
So booze me up and get me high
Booze me up and get me high
Why don't you give it a try?
Let the bottle do the work
To ease the mind and soothe the hurt
Me and George finish the Jack
After drinkin' down my last six pack
I'm not feelin' bad myself
'Cause there's another bottle on the shelf
Cribber likes his Guinness in cans
And Andrew, he's a tequila man
But it don't take much to get me high
So booze me up and get me high
Booze me up and get me high
Why don't you give it a try?
Let the bottle do the work
To ease mind and soothe the hurt[/quote]
Poop Ship Destroyer [enormous live version, the original two minute version is from Pure Guava]
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vxspbRGm3I&feature=related[/media]
i like one of ween's songs
ocean man
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E5m_XtCX3c[/media]
hmm
maybe you should have put some actual content in the OP
The only song I've heard from them is the HIV song.
I've tried listening to Ween a couple times but the only song I can say I actually like by them is Transdermal Celebration.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU91POX33aE[/media]
The only time I listened to these guys was on T.H.U.G. but I liked the one song that was on there.
They always have interesting lyrics.

I was listening to that song when I opened the thread.
I'm going to add content to OP now for those who are curious. Ween has a lot of music diversity so I'm gonna be uploading a lot of music.
Awesome awesome band.. For anyone who's trying hard to get into Ween, try their more catchy easy to listen to stuff..
Freedom of '76
Voodoo Lady
Push Th' Little Daisies
I Can't Put My Finger On It
Birthday Boy
You Fucked Up
Pure Guava is kind of odd and hard to listen to.
Ma Kasha, I love how you love ween, but those are probly some of my least favorite songs. Voodoo Lady is alright though.
[editline]08:10PM[/editline]
Push the Little Daisies isn't very easy to listen to
Almost everyone has heard Ween at one point. This is why:

seriouspost Dean and Gene Ween are probably two of the biggest musical geniuses of their generation
[editline]01:51AM[/editline]
the deaner really knows how to play guitar
The Argus is a brilliantly shining jewel in the overflowing treasure chest of Ween's music
