I don't mind this song but the vocals make me think they were trying really hard for a specific sound...  Perhaps too hard.  I like it enough but it's not going to be a favorite.

I feel absolutely inept for the following comment: I just don't get Ween.
But I like this enough. I do. I just don't get it.

Has anyone figured out why their album titled '12 Golden Country Greats' has only ten tracks? It's probably best to not ask these types of questions with Ween. Just enjoy the weirdness.

Did Ween play at the "Summer Festival" in Quebec City?  The album cover suggests that they enjoyed some of the sidewalk cafes in downtown Quebec—one of the oldest cities in North America.

Excellent studio sound.  Unfortunately the lead vocals suck on stage.  Just watch live concert footage on Youtube.  Kind of a bummer.  Great tracks played on RP, thought.  Thanks, RP!
 
When I saw them the vocals were very good, but that was over a decade ago.

I've never seen Ween, but this review of a recent show in my town caught my attention.

OK.  I'll bite. Who is Ween mocking in this song?

 

FWIW, this is my favourite Ween song.  The other stuff.....  some of it is too gross out high school like, the music uneven.

I wonder what the voice changing machine they use is called.

Either they recorded the vocals separately and mixed them at a slower rate, but more likely they just used a pitch shifter.

I guess I'd have to spend the night with them to fully appreciate this song. But I'd really rather not -- and I suppose they'd rather not either -- not that there's anything WRONG with that...

Not sure if figuring out that you can pause significantly between "whole' and "life" to give the phrase another meaning qualifies as "genius" -- but hey, Enjoy!

Very mollusky sounding. I saw them at a show here and they rocked out pretty good. Then a bunch of girls got on stage and started doing the drunk girl dance. Which, I guess is ok if you're a drunk guy

ive been incredibly intoxicated and seen that dance many times unfortunately. never does it for me.
